It seems like a dumb question, but will doing this affect the link between the listing and the original product on Spocket? I’ve been hesitant to find myself manually updating stock and processing orders.
Topic summary
Main issue: A merchant wants to bulk-edit tags and descriptions for Spocket-imported products by exporting/importing a Shopify CSV and asks if this would break Spocket’s product connection and disrupt stock/order syncing.
Guidance: One responder notes that dropshipping/inventory apps typically track products by immutable IDs, so changing product details in Shopify (via CSV/API) usually won’t break the link. The key risk is sync behavior: if Spocket overwrites Shopify fields on each sync, Shopify-side edits could be lost. The merchant should confirm Spocket’s sync settings/policies (e.g., which fields are overwritten vs. preserved).
Alternatives/tools:
- Super Sheet: Spreadsheet-style bulk editor via API for fast tag/description cleanup, including removing Spocket-added tags.
- Ablestar Bulk Product Editor: In-app bulk edits or spreadsheet uploads with progress tracking and undo; free plan allows 5 edits/month with no product count limit.
Attachments: A screenshot shows an app’s bulk-edit UI.
Status: No definitive confirmation from Spocket. Recommended next step is to verify Spocket’s sync options before proceeding; discussion remains open.
