• Open the “Products” section in Store Manager for Shopify software.

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.
• 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.
