Catalog-scale bulk price editor
Runs very large product-level price updates using Shopify Bulk Operations. Best for large catalogs; updates every variant on matching products.
When to use this template
This template is built for Shopify stores using the JsWorkflows app.
What it does: Runs very large product-level price updates using Shopify Bulk Operations. Best for large catalogs; updates every variant on matching products.
It is designed for Shopify promotion workflows and gives you a production-ready starting point instead of building the automation from scratch.
This workflow uses the scheduled trigger model and starts from the "Catalog-scale price update" trigger. It includes setup fields for merchant-facing values, so you can configure the workflow before installing it.
Setup guide
Before you start
Use this template for very large product-level price updates. It uses Shopify Bulk Operations to read matching products and run the price update asynchronously, which is more practical for large catalogs than paging through variants one request at a time.
Difference from Scheduled bulk price editor
Scheduled bulk price editoris best for targeted variant-level campaigns and includes automatic rollback snapshots.Catalog-scale bulk price editoris best for very large product-level updates. It updates every variant on products matching the product search query and does not include automatic rollback.
Configure in setup
Product search query: choose which products should be included. Every variant on matching products is evaluated.- Examples you can copy:
status:activetargets active products,tag:clearancetargets products with theclearancetag,vendor:Acmetargets one vendor, andproduct_type:Shoestargets one product type. - You can combine filters with spaces, for example
status:active tag:clearance. This means products must match both filters. - To match either of two filters, use
OR, for examplestatus:active (tag:summer-sale OR tag:clearance). Dry run only: keep enabled for the first run. The workflow downloads the bulk query result, calculates new prices, and logs a preview without changing Shopify.Price actionandPrice value: choose percentage or fixed amount adjustments.Compare-at mode: choose whether compare-at price is set to the original price, preserved when valid, or cleared.
Safety behavior
- The template is dry-run by default.
- Shopify Bulk Operations handle the large read and write jobs asynchronously.
- The workflow logs product and variant counts after the bulk query result is processed.
- If the generated mutation file would exceed Shopify's bulk mutation file size limit, the workflow stops and asks you to narrow the product query.
- This template updates variant
priceandcompareAtPriceonly. It does not update discounts, markets, price lists, inventory cost, or rollback snapshots.
