Bulk editor for google fields

[Edanabella]

How can I edit all google fields at the same time?

Hi @Edanabella,

in the Shopify store, there is an app called Ablestar Bulk Product Editor, which will help you modify the Google Shopping fields in bulk (either an in-app editing or by uploading a spreadsheet.

Learn more about the app: https://apps.shopify.com/bulk-product-editor

The app has a free version that allows you to do 5 free edits every 30 days. So you can test it before purchasing the app.

Hi, @Edanabella! 

Welcome to the Shopify Community! At this time, it's not possible to use the Bulk editor to edit Google fields in bulk. This means, you'll require the use of an app to do so. I wrote a reply on this topic linked here in the Community that outlines a couple app options for you. Thanks @Niki_K for the app suggestion, one alternate option I also highlight in my post is Bulk Product Edit & CSV Import. 

Don't forget to run through the Google Channel Requirements before editing the fields. Let us know how this goes, and the solution you settle on!

Thank you a lot

You can easily bulk edit your Shopify store's metafields from Mixtable's Excel-like spreadsheet interface. Map all the Google Shopping metafields you want to columns, update the relevant cells, and sync the data back to Shopify

This comment is in reply to the ABLESTAR BULK EDITOR! 

Either an error in their code or a scam intended to get Shopify store owners to purchase their product for bulk editing. 

THIS APP SCRAMBLED ALL OUR STORES PREVIOUS GOOGLE PRODUCT INFORMATION!

This is very upsetting! Now I am no longer able to bulk edit google product information, and I assume this is because the code this app used in order to stop bulk editing unless you use their app is still lingering in our code. Very upsetting!  

ALL fields for all products being sold on google were previously setup before installing this app!!! Now ALL OF OUR PRODUCT FIELDS VIA the Google Channel ARE SCRAMBLED!!!!!!! This app is costing us man hours to resolve this issue!

I downloaded the app to see about it. Deleted it and it deleted the existing feed. Now, I have to reconfigure things to reinstate the googe feed, wasting a lot of my time

Does shopify have the ability yet to edit required fields for multiple items at once? I'm kinda speechless that I have to edit hundreds of products individually

Thanks for your question! Changes have been made to the bulk editor recently, and it should now integrate with the Google sales channel.

I'm not currently able to access the sales channel in my test store, but let me know which sections of the admin you're looking at and which fields you currently need to edit.

Hi Sophia, I think it's worth noting that you have to go through the Sales Channel "Google" in order to click on the product list under "Product listings" in order to get the bulk editor with the extra google fields.

It is really a bad solution not to be able to edit google fields from native Shopify BULK editor . In addition, the management of products from the google app works very badly and is slow. Why doesn't shopify have a BULK change of all fields including the METAFIELDs you create? They take 1 step forward and 100 back

***** SOLVED *****
Move into PRODUCT PAGE
SELECT PRODUCT or ALL PRODUCT THAT YOU WANT MODIFY and click BULK EDIT

So in navigation bar take a look at URL BAR the part of this: Product&edit=

After that put this string

metafields.google.google_product_type%2Cmetafields.google.gender%2Cmetafields.google.age_group%2Cmetafields.google.condition%2Cmetafields.google.custom_product%2Cmetafields.google.age_group%2Cmetafields.google.custom_label_0%2Cmetafields.google.custom_label_1%2Cmetafields.google.custom_label_3%2Cmetafields.google.custom_label_4

and finish before &return_to=

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

So look like that:

.......Product&edit=metafields.google.google_product_type%2Cmetafields.google.gender%2Cmetafields.google.age_group%2Cmetafields.google.condition%2Cmetafields.google.custom_product%2Cmetafields.google.age_group%2Cmetafields.google.custom_label_0%2Cmetafields.google.custom_label_1%2Cmetafields.google.custom_label_3%2Cmetafields.google.custom_label_4&return_to=.......

Work great! Thank you Shopify, I always made solution by my self!

Hi Thanks for your help and suggestions. I manged to use the bulk editor to edit metafields.google.custom_label_0 but it enters on the product title (in Bulk editor) not for each variant. When it updated on GMC it did not show the custom_label_0 value its empty. is there a work around ? 

see its not for each variant but for the product. But when i look in GMC this is what i get, custom label 0 is blank. 

im confused i cant figure out how to fix this!

thank you!

Hi.

I have a small doubt, on the shopify products page we entered the category that best suits the product (image 1) - do we have to enter the same again in the More Actions >Google Fields>Product Categorization  again?

Are both required to be filled?
