Hello everyone,

First time asking a question so apologies if this has already been covered. I did not find anything on the boards so either this is a no-brainer or folks have already answered the question.

But here we are:

The is a new field on each of our product pages asking whether or not we offer the product for international shipping.

I did not see this field before.

Sadly the field is automatically marked no, though we offer every product to international markets.

My question is: is this field required for our products to appear as available for international shipping? If so then is there a way to BULK update that field (without a paid app) so our products are available again to international markets?

Thank you in advance.
