Bulk Edit Product Prices in Shopify with a Spreadsheet

Bulk Edit Product Prices in Shopify

If you are running promotions, price increases, or catalog-wide adjustments, changing prices one variant at a time in Shopify is inefficient. eCommix – Google Sheets Sync lets you bulk edit prices from a spreadsheet.

The Prices preset focuses on:

  • SKU (Variant)
  • Price (Variant)
  • Compare At Price (Variant)

Real use case: 8% price increase after supplier and shipping cost changes

A merchant needs to increase prices across 4,500 variants after supplier and freight costs went up. Instead of editing each variant in Shopify, they export prices, apply formulas in Google Sheets, review changes by vendor, and import updates with eCommix – Google Sheets Sync.

The spreadsheet workflow also creates an audit trail the finance team can review before prices go live.

  • Pricing manager applies percentage formulas in helper columns
  • Merchandising reviews compare-at pricing for promotions
  • Team validates and imports in controlled batches

Use eCommix – Google Sheets Sync to export Shopify products to Google Sheets, bulk edit safely, validate changes, and import updates back to Shopify.

Example bulk price changes in Google Sheets

Increase prices by 8%

Create a helper column formula based on Price (Variant):

=ROUND(price_cell * 1.08, 2)

Then paste values back into Price (Variant).

Set compare-at price for a sale

Copy current price into Compare At Price (Variant), then reduce Price (Variant) for the sale.

Important: Prices are variant-level

In Shopify, pricing is generally variant-based. That means:

  • Each row should map to the correct variant
  • Export first so you have variant IDs and current values
  • Use SKU (Variant) for human review, but rely on exported IDs for safe updates

Validation before import (do not skip)

Validation helps catch:

  • Missing identifiers
  • Invalid row structure
  • Accidental blank values

Common pricing workflows

  • Seasonal sale setup
  • Price increases after supplier cost changes
  • MSRP / compare-at cleanup
  • Bulk rounding adjustments

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Editing product rows but forgetting variant rows
  • Overwriting compare-at prices unintentionally
  • Running a full import without validating a small sample first
  • Manual edits without formulas (inconsistent pricing)

Final tip

Test your formula on 5-10 rows first, verify the numbers, then apply it to the full filtered set. This prevents expensive pricing mistakes.
