How do I manage products in bulk?
ShopDot has provided bulk actions to make it easier for brands to manage multiple products all at the same time.
Within the Product Tab:
- Navigate to your Products in your ShopDot account.
- Select the checkboxes next to the products you’d like to manage.
- Choose the desired bulk update action (Sync, Publish/Unpublish, Edit, or Delete) from the available buttons.
Edit Status
- What it does: Quickly publish, unpublish or delete multiple products at once.
- When to use it: When launching new products or temporarily removing items from your storefront — no need to update products one by one.
Edit Category / Edit Animal Type

Delete

- Important Note: Once deleted, products must be resynced from your eCommerce store to relist them on ShopDot. This action cannot be undone.
Sync with eCommerce
