Summary: Bulk Discounts Price Edits App lets you update prices across large catalogues without spreadsheets. You can apply percentage or fixed discounts, round prices, schedule edits, and reverse changes. This guide shows how the app works, where it helps most, and how to use it safely.
1. What this solves
Shopify has a built in bulk editor, but it quickly becomes slow and limited when you need to adjust hundreds or thousands of prices.
Typical problems:
- No simple way to reverse price changes
- No easy control over storewide discounts
- Time consuming edits for large catalogues
- High risk of manual errors
Bulk Discounts Price Edits App is designed to handle these jobs in a controlled, repeatable way.
2. Key features
- Increase or decrease prices by percentage or fixed amount
- Target products by collection, vendor, product type or tags
- Schedule future price changes
- Round prices to consistent values
- Restore prices to previous values
- Preview price changes before applying them
3. How to bulk edit prices in Shopify
Step 1: Install the app
Install Bulk Discounts Price Edits App from the Shopify App Store. After installation, open it from your Shopify admin under Apps.
Step 2: Choose your products
Select the products you want to edit. You can filter by:
- Collection
- Vendor
- Product type
- Tags
- Manual selection
This keeps your edits focused and reduces the chance of editing the wrong items.
Step 3: Choose the price action
Pick the type of price change you want to apply:
- Decrease prices by a percentage
- Decrease prices by a fixed amount
- Increase prices by a percentage or fixed amount
- Round prices to a set rule
- Restore previous prices
Use percentage changes for sales and promotions. Use fixed changes for clearing specific items or price points.
Step 4: Preview your price changes
The preview screen shows:
- Original price
- New price
- Discount logic used
- Number of products affected
Check this screen carefully. If something looks wrong, adjust your filters or price rule before applying the edit.
Step 5: Apply the bulk edit
Once you are happy with the preview, confirm the edit. The app will process the products and update the prices. You will see a progress indicator while the job runs.
4. Practical use cases
Prepare for seasonal or promotional sales
Apply a temporary percentage discount to selected collections or to your full catalogue. When the sale ends, restore the previous prices with a single action.
Clear old or slow moving stock
Reduce prices for specific collections, vendors or tagged products by a fixed amount. This helps move stock without changing the entire catalogue.
Align and tidy pricing
Use rounding rules to set prices to clean values such as 9.99 or 19.95. This improves the look of your pricing and keeps it consistent across ranges.
Handle supplier price changes
When a supplier increases costs, you can raise prices for products from that vendor in one action instead of editing each item.
5. Best practices for safe bulk edits
- Always review the preview before confirming edits
- Avoid running overlapping price edits at the same time
- Use tags to group products you update often
- Schedule edits during quieter traffic periods if possible
- Test a smaller segment first if you are unsure about your rules
