Uploading the file with limited columns worked! Thanks so much for the help!
Topic summary
A merchant attempted to bulk update product descriptions for 150+ items using Shopify’s CSV import feature but found the changes didn’t apply despite receiving a success confirmation.
Solution provided:
- Simplify the CSV to only three columns: Handle, Title, and Body (HTML)
- Remove all other columns from the spreadsheet
- Ensure column names match exactly
- Test with a single product first
- When uploading, check the ‘Overwrite products with matching handles’ box in the import dialog
Outcome:
The streamlined approach successfully updated the descriptions. The issue was resolved by reducing the CSV to only essential columns rather than including all product data from the original export.
