Using the Bulk Updater Tool

Sections

ReCharge has developed a Bulk Updater Tool to assist in making bulk updates to existing subscriptions. Using this tool, you can make updates to the product titles, variant titles, price, or SKUs in ReCharge. This guide provides instructions on how to enable the tool, search for products to update, and submit bulk update changes. 

Note: This feature is only available for Shopify merchants who installed ReCharge before November 2nd, 2020, and are using the ReCharge Checkout.

Before you begin

Note: The SKU update function will create a SKU override rather than reference what is in Shopify. If you would like ReCharge to use the SKU in Shopify, please review Updating SKUs.

Step 1 - Request access

The Bulk Updater Tool is still in beta and as such must be enabled the ReCharge team. To request that the feature, go to your Integrations tab in the ReCharge Dashboard and click Request under the ReCharge Bulk Updater integration. Once our support team receives the request, you will be able to use this tool under Integrations > Enabled Integrations.

Step 2 - Search for products

In the dropdown, select the search parameter you would like to use. In the search field, enter your search term. You can locate products using the following parameters:

  • Product title
  • Variant title
  • Recurring price
  • SKU

You'll also have the option to search multiple attributes simultaneously by clicking add another search filter.

The Bulk Updater Tool will display all the query matches. You can export the current data as a CSV file so you have a record in case you need to revert your changes.

Warning: This tool is powerful and should be used carefully as the tool makes mass changes. Be sure to review all the products you are updating. Any changes made will affect all the items in the search results.

Step 3 - Process update

The next page lists all matching queries, including the variant and price. From the Select property dropdown, select the parameter you would like to update:

  • Product title
  • Variant title
  • Recurring price
  • Quantity
  • Shopify Variant ID
  • SKU

In the property field, enter the new data. For example, if you are making a price update and changing the price from $10 to $20,  you would enter 20 in this field.

When ready, click Process Update. A pop-up model will appear that will display a summary of changes about to be made.  mceclip5.pngOnce you have reviewed the changes, click Make update. The process can take a few minutes, depending on how many products are being updated.
