Bulk Product Update Manager
The Opportunity
An app that lets merchants update product prices, images, variants, and other catalog fields in bulk through a simple CSV import/export workflow. It reduces manual edits for stores managing large or frequently changing inventories.
"Merchants need an easy way to mass-edit product data such as price, variant images, and variants without updating items one by one."
