You can edit everything about your listing. Let's start with adding a sale announcement to the front of the listing titles.

4.

Now on to reduce the price by 10%. If your listing has variations this will reduce the price of all options. If you should want to edit the prices of specific variation options see the how-to guide on that topic.

You can tell ShopShaper to round the computed price for you, so that your listings don't end up with prices like 26.574 USD.

After your sale is over, you can choose the same listings and revert the previous price reduction of 10%.

5.

You can click on the "preview" button to see whether the changes are to your liking. You can click on the "apply changes to selected listings" button and start the batch editing process.

1.

On the batch edit page, you can either replace your listings' variation options by choosing "set inventory" or you can edit existing variation options by choosing "edit inventory".

2.

Let's assume you want to replace your listings's existing variation options.

First, you will have to choose a rough category so that variation properties for that category come up. This selection has no effect on the category of the listings itself.

Now you can enter your desired options. For example, you may want to offer products that have the primary color options "rose pink" and "teal", and the material options "cotton" and "linen".

When you add those options you will see the possible combinations of products. You can enter price, quantity, SKU information and indicate whether that option is available or not. For example, you may have all the options in stock except the linen one in teal.

If several of your options have the same price or quantity, you can select them and change their values at once by clicking on the "edit" button.

3.

Let's assume your fabric supplier increased some prices and you have to reflect that in your product prices where you use linen, whilst keeping the product prices where you use cotton as they are. For that you can click on the "edit existing variation options" button.First, you will have to choose a rough category so that variation properties for that category come up. This selection has no effect on the category of the listings itself.

Then you can select the option for which you want to make changes, in this case material. We could also choose to edit a specific combination, such as linen and rose pink as well, but right now we want that all the product prices where linen is used get increased
