How to Use Bulk Actions on the Ecommerce Product Page
Bulk Actions on the Sparkforge ecommerce Product page let you update visibility, pricing, collections, quantity, and inventory status across many products in one operation, with filters to narrow selection before the change applies.
Bulk Actions on the Product page let you change visibility, pricing, collections, available quantity, and inventory status across many products or variants in one operation. Useful for large catalogs and frequent stock or price updates.
What you can do in bulk
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Include in Online Store | Make selected products visible in the online store |
| Exclude from Online Store | Hide selected products from the online store |
| Change Price | Increase, decrease, or set new prices using fixed values or percentages |
| Change Compare-at Price | Same options applied to the Compare-at Price field |
| Add to Collections | Add products to existing collections or create new ones inline |
| Delete | Remove selected products in bulk with a confirmation step |
Caution: Price updates apply to all variants of the selected product.
How to access Bulk Actions
Step 1: Open Products
Go to Payments > Products inside your ecommerce store.
Step 2: Select products
Use the row checkbox to select individual products, or click the top checkbox to select everything on the current page. To select every product across the sub-account, click the Select All prompt that appears after selecting all on one page.
Step 3: Pick a bulk action
Open the Bulk Actions dropdown and choose what to apply.
Filtering before bulk actions
Combine filters with Select All for targeted operations. Filters reduce the risk of editing the wrong products.
- Store Visibility: Included or Hidden
- Collections: by name
- Source: All Products, WooCommerce
Click Filters in the upper right to set filters from the dropdown.
Edge cases and limits
- Negative-value protection: Price changes that would produce a negative price skip those products. Others still update.
- One operation at a time: Wait for the current bulk action to finish before starting a new one.
- Global store visibility: Visibility changes apply across all connected stores. To hide a product from a specific store only, use Sites > Stores > Select Store > Products.
- Increase or Decrease price: requires an existing value on the field. Products without a base price stay unchanged.
- Bulk delete confirmation: Deleting more than 50 products requires typing "Delete" in the confirmation prompt. Deleted products cannot be recovered.
- Restricted products skipped on delete: Sparkforge skips calendar-created products, memberships and communities products, and SaaS products with active or past_due subscriptions.
- Performance: Changes against more than 300 products may take a few moments to reflect.
Selection behavior
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Click top checkbox | Selects all products on the current page |
| Navigate away and return | Current-page selection is retained |
| Use Select All for the entire list | Selection is lost if you navigate away |
