Modify Shopify inventory/pricing backend to behave like Amazon Seller Central?

Hello,

We're a long time seller on Amazon and we use their default web interface for inventory management. 

There's a couple things that I really like about it, namely, from the list of product variants (each gets its own row on the list), you can adjust pricing and stock right on the list, zero clicks-through. We recently acquired a competitor that sells through Shopify. Is there any app or enhancement to Shopify's back end that would let us keep a similar workflow? 

 

Presently it seems like my options are (1) wait for the CSV to render, fix everything there, reupload; or (2) find the products in the list, click through [waiting for each to load], fix the price or quantity, click save [wait for the product list to load]. Neither option is great - we've got about 2400 product variants, so each "wait for x" event feels glacially slow.

Hi @NetEquity,

 

The Shopify admin does have a native bulk editor tool that lets you edit your data in a list view:

To open it go to either Products or Products -> Inventory in the admin, select multiple products and you should see a Bulk edit button that appears. Then you can go through the products one by one and edit them on the same screen.

 

One note of caution, I'd recommend saving your changes often as there's been cases in the past where it freezes and any unsaved changes would get lost.

 

I hope this help, let me know if you have any follow up questions. Best,

Daniel

I wish this was a little more automatic (the checkbox to select products step is annoying to me, for some reason), but this does indeed do what I am looking for, thank you Daniel.
