In this article, we will explore some mass product description editing capabilities offered by Store Manager for Shopify. We will walk you through three essential features:

- Adding the same description to all products
Let’s dive in and check some scenarios and ways to achieve them updating Shopify product descriptions in bulk!
Append/prepend values to the current description in bulk
To begin, let’s understand when mass product description updates become necessary. Imagine you have recently introduced a new shipping policy for some products, and you need to filter them and add this information to your description to inform your customers about the change. Instead of individually modifying each product’s description, the mass editing feature allows you to make the necessary amendments across all your products simultaneously.
To append or prepend values to your product descriptions, follow these simple steps:
- Open the “Products” section in Store Manager for Shopify software.
- Select all the products that require the description update. For that enable the green checkbox next to each product that you want to update.
- Navigate to the “Mass Product Editing” feature. You can find the button at the main menu at the top of the products window.
- Set the parameters to append or prepend the desired value to the current description and add the text you would like.
- Apply the changes and check the updated description on your Shopify store.
We can see that our product currently has description set to “Your Best Snowboard Description”. Your description can be longer and can contain HTML. That is fine. Store Manager software will append the value next to your description.
In our case we need to select field Description, use parameter to append and set the text we would like to append. In our example we’ll append the text “Add some kind words))”
Now you can see our kind words on the front end. The text was appended to all the products we’ve selected on the first step.
Please note, in case you would like to add the text with html, you will need to add paragraph or your specific styles to your text.
