Not only is this the best bulk product app available in the Shopify store, but the support is absolutely amazing. Two days ago we requested a feature in the software (a new filter for taxable products) and today we received an email from their support to notify us that the feature had been added. That's what we consider to be excellent service. Highly recommend to other Shopify and Shopify Plus store owners.

I use this app to edit all of the products needed to be edit all at once, this application is very helpful and I hope I can use it for free.. :(

One of the best apps around! This app has saved us a fortune money & time, from doing manual stock updates. We have over 10,000+ SKU's to update regularly and Daniel has enabled us to streamline and automate this process very fast, efficiently and thoroughly. Nobody wants this part of the business (inventory management) braking as it can result in lost sales or letting down customers, but Ablestar are very thorough in their work. The support is fast and efficient if you have questions - which I had many! Not only the automated stock syncing being amazing, but the bulk editor is also a life saver for me. I am not the worst, but also not the best with excel/csv so to be able to do edits to price/tags/vendor/etc is great. There is also an undo button which is super useful if you make a mistake. There is also a feature to schedule edits to start and end which is super handy for a % discount sale promotion which starts and ends at specific times. You then don't have to worry about running or ending it as it can all be scheduled. This is a must have app if you want to save time running your store.

I only used the free 5 edits a month. But this saved my so much time editing descriptions on 300+ products. The filtering is also amazing.

Easy to use app that really offers alot...my one request would be that when you are editing the prices it would show the current price and new price on the page prior to doing the edit. But overall fantastic app!

Fantastic. As advertised. Makes fast work of bulk edits. This thing wants a minimum of 100 characters.

I use this app to manage all of my stores with large inventories and it does the job perfectly. It can handle anything you throw at it, fast. Really the professional and best option.

I'm at a loss as to which to rate better – the app or the customer service... The app: allows you to modify products in-app or through an XLSX (upload and download)... an XLSX! No more saving as a CSV and losing information or watching fields get reformatted. So many options to modify products by different search criteria. I recently used it to modify 50,000 SKUs by prepending the Vendor name to each SKU. Not only that but I could set up each set of modifications one after another in different tabs and they would render at the same time – probably a little slower processing than one at a time, but my point being I could set them up all at once without waiting for each one to complete, and then go to bed while it worked. Each modification affords you different ways to change your data. ie SKUs: You can choose to replace the whole SKU, prepend/append/remove text from beginning/end. Prices: with the tariffs affecting costs, I can add/subtract a percentage to all prices, change by fixed amount among other options. Any field in your Shopify CSV can be modified in bulk, and by different criteria. You can export as many or as few fields as possible if you wanted to work on the file offline. No need to re-upload all the fields of a product like you do with the Shopify product import. Want to edit descriptions? Well you choose your identifier and the description, export only that data, work on it and only upload that data – I hate the idea of re-writing over everything when you don't need to, esp. images, prices etc. Also invaluable is the ability to download/export products by different identifiers, which is incredibly valuable if you're looking to change the main identifier (handle). The Service: As of this writing, I'm in the middle of trying to get two 3rd party apps to play nicely, one being BPE. I've been having a 4-way conversation with the two app companies, and Shopify and all signs point to this other app being the source of an issue, yet BPE has been responding and providing feedback and asking questions as if their app has been the problem. Even Shopify support during one of our conversations commented on how she couldn't believe how extensive and courteous the customer support was we were getting from BPE. Lastly, BPE was not the first non-Shopify Bulk product editor I tried. I tried several of the most popular ones... Ex****fy and Zap**r and even some odd Private App connection to Google Docs I found in a search and it was all just too messy to figure out, and get apps/Excel Online/Google Docs to talk to each other. I absolutely can't stress enough how valuable it is to have BPE export XLSX docs. I hate Excel and don't want to learn any more than I have to so working in XLSX and then having to save to CSV, and now I have two of every file, and then find out that Shopify misinterpreted my data and now a $54.92 item has been uploaded as $5492.00 item.. ughh.. so frustrating. Try this app, even if just for the first couple months of you setting up your store. It will save you a lot of time that the Shopify Bulk Editor just can't (or won't) handle. I have no plans to get rid of it, as I intend to keep it to constantly modify products for SEO purposes and continued relevancy and pricing, if tariffs continue to change product costs.

Amazing app, works like a charm. I use it to edit bulk product description. It was very easy and very quick.

The app is VERY backwards. In almost every setting. Doing x lands you the opposite results you’d expect. While the app itself is good. The features are not intuitive. Also. Clicking on subscribe. Let’s just say THERE IS NO WAY TO UNSUBSCRIBE. AND I HAVE SENT THE SUPPORT TEAM EMAIL EXPRESSING I DID NOT WANT AUTO RENEW TO PLEASE TURN IT OFF. they will answer my user questions but just ignore my requests to turn off auto renew. Now reaching out to SHOPIFY to have them address this as I did not want nor agree to auto renew. I did agree to pay for a month. But I didn’t expect to not be able to turn off the billing for the following month. I mean. What if I decide I don’t like it. And would like to use a different program. It feels almost shady? I strongly advise you select another app unless you don’t mind being locked into your subscription. I’m still not even sure I can cancel renewal.
Hello, I wanted to address the unsubscribe issue as other merchants are seeing this review and thinking that somehow we're not allowing people to cancel their subscription, this is definitely not the case. Like other apps that do their billing through Shopify you can always unsubscribe by uninstalling the app. We also have a free plan that you can downgrade to at any time through the settings section of our app. We replied to your question about billing with this information less than three hours after you sent it. Additionally, we have a 30(+) day money-back guarantee and will unconditionally refund merchants if they want. We do this regularly for merchants who forgot to cancel their subscription, are closing their store, or decided the app wasn't a good fit for them. Regarding the 'backwards' aspects of the app, we're sorry about the confusion with the 'price' and 'compare price' fields and how Shopify allows a 'compare price' to be lower than the 'price'. As we discussed by email we updated some of the labels in the app shortly after this review was written to make things more clear. Best, Daniel and the rest of the team at Ablestar

Great app, highly recommended. Very fast and without bugs. I tried 2 or 3 similar apps before, but this one is the best. Free plan is available - prefect if you do not make lots of edits.

looked like crazy for a search and replace tool that really worked well. This app nails it. Works pretty much flawlessly.

Works well with product description. HTML allows customization of text and works perfectly. I only miss bulk image editing (removing/adding). Would give 5 stars if that was possible.

Absolutely blown away by Daniel and his team. Replied to all my emails within 24 hours. Made necessary changes to improve app within 24-48 hours. This app is amazing and worth every penny, if you are serious about running your shopify business. Definitely has won our business. Thank you again Daniel for a superb service and app.

Spring cleaning on my Shopify store and this app is making it all easily possible. I have used the inapp and spreadsheet versions of adding updates! Thanks!

Perfect for editing prices when you have no other option. Easy app to navigate and use. And you get 5 edits per month with their free plan.
