Can you bulk upload videos to product listings?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Main issue: whether videos can be added to multiple Shopify product listings in bulk.

  • Attempted workflow: selecting multiple listings and uploading a video only applies to the first listing; each upload takes ~5 minutes to process.
  • Scale concern: with 1000+ listings, the current approach is impractical.
  • Alternative considered: hosting videos on Vimeo and attaching them via URL to product listings to potentially streamline the process.

Status: no confirmed solution or guidance provided yet; the question remains open with key uncertainty around supported bulk upload methods and whether external hosting via URL is more efficient.

Hi, just wondering if it’s possible to add video in bulk to product listings? When I attempt to highlight multiple listings and upload a video, it only seems to add to the first one on the list, and it takes about 5 minutes to process. With over 1000 listings, that’s going to take a lot of time… is it better to just upload to something like Vimeo and add it as a URL?

Thanks
