Bulk Update - Adding a Percentage Margin to Collection Prices

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Applying a percentage-based margin to all products within specific collections, e.g., 20% turning $10 into $12. Seeks a way or app to automate this adjustment.

A suggested option is Espresso Bulk Editor, which can filter products to chosen collections and apply a percentage increase to variant prices. It functions as a manual bulk edit rather than an automatic, ongoing process.

Key details:

  • Tool: Espresso Bulk Editor (links to app site and Shopify App Store provided).
  • Capability: Filter by collection and adjust prices by a percentage multiplier.
  • Limitation: No continuous automation; must run edits when needed.
  • Resources: Tutorial video link included.

Outcome: A practical batch-edit solution is offered, but fully automated, rule-based margins per collection remain unconfirmed. Discussion remains open on automation.

Hi there,

We would like to apply a percentage-based margin to specific product collections, adjusting their original prices automatically.

For example, if a collection has a margin of 20% (or a multiplier of 1.2), every product within that collection will have its price increased by 20%.

Example:

  • Original product price: $10
  • After applying the 20% margin: $12

Is there any possible way or app that can help us achieve this?

Hi

Founder of Espresso Bulk Editor here. While not an automatic ongoing process (which might be what you are suggesting?), you can use Espresso to quickly filter your product to any desired collection(s) and apply a percentage increase to the variants’ prices. Please see this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H1qxIsvU0A
