Hi @sinemtopcu ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.

You can filter products by category in the Shopify admin panel to simplify bulk edits. Here’s how:

  • Basic Filter: Use the search bar for category names.
  • Advanced Filter: Use the sort button to group by “Product type” or “Collection” (often based on categories).

Additional options: filter by metafields, tags, etc.

Bulk Editing (workaround):

  1. Filter products by category.
  2. Check the boxes for products you want to edit.
  3. Use the “Bulk actions” dropdown to make changes (e.g., inventory, price).

Best regards,
