Pricing Management: Bulk Update

Managing large inventories can be time-consuming, especially when updates are needed across multiple SKUs. To streamline this process, the Bulk Update feature allows you to modify product details efficiently—all at once. Instead of editing each SKU individually, you can upload a single file to apply changes in bulk. If the template contains any errors, they’ll be clearly highlighted in the file, making it easy to correct and re-upload.

Let’s discuss each button!
