  • Keep the criteria simple, more criteria add more restriction on product selection

  • F12 Accept Details to generate the list

• Many customers want to start with their top selling products. The easiest way to do this is generate a Sales analysis report, export to CSV then copy the PLU codes from that report into maintain products in bulk using F10 Other → V Paste product Ids

• Once the list is up, under F5 Set P1 Opts you can set the same options in bulk as on individual items:

  • You can create new categories same here as well. Select the option, then type the name and push enter, F3 Add and then F12 Accept Details to save

• F12 Accept Details and Yes confirm changes to apply changes to all products and wait up to 15 minutes for changes to start flowing through. It won’t all appear at once, Shopify have a system to gradually apply changes in small batches.
