In the Google Sales Channel (GSC), why is there no sort or filter options when managing product availability? I have over 8,000 products that for some reason, the barcode/UPC was not properly recognized by Google Merchant Center. So I forced to manually fix the “Custom Product” column. But when I click on “Manage Availability” in the GSC, the editor defaults to showing ALL my products including the 7,000+ items that are only in my brick-and-mortar store and NOT available on GSC. The first few pages were fine but as I scroll down, the items take longer and longer to load. I’m barely into the “Bs” and I’ve spent hours on this - there has to be an easier way.
I tried using the bulk editor from the Products menu but “Custom Product” is not one of the column options. That option is ONLY available in the GSC.
Any suggestions?
I recommend reporting the issue directly to Shopify.
To bulk edit, I find it easiest to use: https://apps.shopify.com/bulk-product-editor?surface_detail=albastar&surface_inter_position=1&surface_intra_position=1&surface_type=search
And to fix the barcode issue, the app has had issues for more than a year with no solution, so I recommend instead to use: https://apps.shopify.com/multiple-google-shopping-feeds
Which is more advanced and has lots of options.
Thanks for the response! I did report this to Shopify via phone, and the follow-up email indicated he would put in several “Merchant Frustrations” on my behalf. My hopes are low. Sort/filter is a basic feature in bulk editor, and should also be in the bulk editor in Google Sales Channel. I really don’t want to spend money on an app (both of which look pretty confusing, but thanks) to accomplish something that I really should be able to do in Shopify.
