Many store managers add <strong>extra product data, meta fields, or custom attributes<\/strong> to products using tools like <strong>ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)<\/strong> or WooCommerce custom field options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While adding custom fields to products is relatively simple, editing them later can become extremely time-consuming. WooCommerce does not provide a built-in solution for <strong>bulk editing custom fields or product meta fields<\/strong>, which means store managers often have to open each product individually and update fields one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, imagine you run a WooCommerce store with hundreds of products and you need to update a <strong>brand field, supplier code, manufacturing date, or custom product identifier<\/strong>. Manually editing these fields across multiple products can take hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are practical solutions that allow you to <strong>bulk edit WooCommerce custom fields quickly and efficiently<\/strong>. In this article, we will introduce two effective methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One method uses <strong>coding and WooCommerce hooks<\/strong> to add custom fields to the default bulk editor. The second method uses a <strong>PBULKiT<\/strong> as a <strong>WooCommerce bulk editing plugin<\/strong> that allows you to filter products, manage custom meta fields, and edit multiple products at once.By the end of this guide, you will understand how to manage <strong>WooCommerce product meta fields, custom fields, and ACF fields<\/strong> much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"2 easy ways to bulk edit product custom fields in WooCommerce\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AHicGKRO5mU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a custom field and how you can create it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce custom fields include any type of field such as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Text field<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Text area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drop-down \/ field selection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Radio buttons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Selection boxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>file upload<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Date fields<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These fields are displayed on the product page next to the add to cart button, giving customers more information about each product or letting them upload or insert some information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add custom fields in WordPress without a plugin, go to the Screen options section and mark the Custom field checkbox. Doing this will add the corresponding meta box at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/add-custom-fields-in-wordpress.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"583\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/add-custom-fields-in-wordpress.png\" alt=\"add custom fields in WordPress without plugin\" class=\"wp-image-26870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/add-custom-fields-in-wordpress.png 583w, https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/add-custom-fields-in-wordpress-500x193.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mark Custom filed to display<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you need to specify the <strong>Name<\/strong> and <strong>Value<\/strong> and click the <strong>Add Custom Field<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/select-name-and-value-for-custom-field.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/select-name-and-value-for-custom-field.png\" alt=\"select name and value for custom field in WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-26871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/select-name-and-value-for-custom-field.png 687w, https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/select-name-and-value-for-custom-field-500x158.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Set the Custom Field details<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are various plugins such as <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/advanced-custom-fields\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/advanced-custom-fields\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ACF<\/a> that you can use to do this task with more flexible options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the number of products and custom fields you created is large and you want to edit several products at the same time, you need a bulk edit plugin that supports meta fields and is compatible with different plugins you added custom fields with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also add the <strong>Custom Field<\/strong> option to the WooCommerce default editor with the help of coding so that you can bulk edit them without a plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;In the following, we will show you how to use these two methods to bulk edit product meta fields WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"method-1\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add meta field to the WooCommerce default editor by coding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have already worked with the default editor of WooCommerce, you know that there is no item for bulk editing the custom field in this form.

Store managers often use them to store information such as brand names, supplier codes, technical specifications, or extra product details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, WooCommerce does not offer a built-in tool to <strong>bulk edit product custom fields<\/strong>, which makes updating product metadata difficult for stores with large product catalogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we explored two practical methods to solve this problem. The first method allows developers to extend the WooCommerce bulk editor using code and hooks. The second method uses <strong>PBULKiT<\/strong> as a <strong>WooCommerce product bulk editing plugin<\/strong> that makes it easy to filter products, manage custom fields, and update multiple products at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you manage a growing WooCommerce store, using a dedicated bulk editing tool can save a significant amount of time and help you maintain accurate product data across your entire catalog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column blog-faq-section is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can WooCommerce bulk edit product custom fields by default?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No, WooCommerce does not include a built-in feature for bulk editing product custom fields or meta fields. By default, store managers must edit each product individually. To bulk edit custom fields, you need to either add custom functionality with code or use a WooCommerce bulk editing plugin like PBULKiT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are WooCommerce product custom fields?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce product custom fields are additional fields that store extra product information beyond the default product data. These fields may contain values such as brand name, supplier code, manufacturing date, product specifications, or any other custom data that store managers want to display or store for products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I add custom fields to WooCommerce products without a plugin?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can add custom fields to WooCommerce products without a plugin by enabling the Custom Fields option in the Screen Options section of the product editor in WordPress. After enabling this option, you can manually create a field by defining a name and value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I bulk edit ACF fields in WooCommerce products?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>ACF fields can be bulk edited by using a WooCommerce bulk editing plugin that supports custom meta fields. These tools allow store managers to import ACF fields into the editor and update their values across multiple products at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why should I use a WooCommerce bulk editing plugin for custom fields?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A WooCommerce bulk editing plugin like PBULKiT simplifies the process of managing large product catalogs. It allows you to filter products, display custom fields in the editor, and update multiple products simultaneously. This can save hours of manual work, especially for stores with hundreds or thousands of products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing WooCommerce product custom fields becomes challenging when your store contains dozens or even thousands of products.
