Many store owners find managing their e-commerce store more complicated when the number of products and variations grows. There are a lot of heavy challenges in managing a massive WooCommerce store. The most important of them is bulk editing products and their variations. Fortunately, we heard your voice and tried our best to solve the problem of making bulk changes to the products of large-scale WooCommerce stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By updating the WooCommerce variations bulk editing plugin<\/a>, we are now proud to inform you that WooCommerce scalability does not affect the bulk edit functionality of our plugin. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the problem and our solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What challenges are the managers of large scale online shops struggling with?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Large-scale online shops have many products and variations that need to be managed properly in a short time. The problem arises when store managers need to bulk edit thousands of products or their variations at once. In this situation, they usually face with challenges like unfinished data processing or time-out errors, so the bulk edit action cannot be done successfully which means there is an interruption in the large scale WooCommerce store management. Our developers put a lot of time and effort into revising the bulk edit functionality of our plugin by coding updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s explore more about our solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is our solution for managing large scale WooCommerce stores?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the new update of our plugin, we have focused on the bulk editing of a large number of products and variations on a massive WooCommerce store. Our developers came up with the idea that the best solution is to let the plugin perform the bulk editing task in the background. In this way, the users can work with other tools or plugins in WordPress without affecting the bulk editing process. This new feature saves a lot of time because users are not forced to wait until the bulk editing process is finished to do their other tasks in their stores. Although it is not possible to use our plugin during the process, store managers can work with another part of WordPress or other plugins smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also solved the time-out error problem by sending the categorized data for processing in a queue for bulk editing. The main idea is to divide the large number of products into categories each one containing one hundred products. Then instruct the plugin to bulk edit the categories in a queue one by one until the bulk editing of all categories is finished. Again, all of these processes are performed in the background. So, even if there are hundreds of categories to be processed, users are not required to wait on the plugin page. They can feel free to work on other parts of their stores, simultaneously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, suppose that the user\u2019s request is to bulk update the price of 10,000 variations in the shop. The plugin will divide those variations into 100 categories (each category contains 100 variations) and put them in a queue to apply changes to them, respectively. When all prices of the first category (containing 100 variations) where finished, the process will continue on the next category. This work will repeat until all variations will be updated. With this solution, no time out error can interrupt the bulk editing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use the WooCommerce variations bulk editing plugin for managing a large scale WooCommerce store?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to let the plugin perform all heavy and time-consuming processes in the background, you can simply go to Settings <\/strong>and set Enable background processing<\/strong> to Yes<\/strong>. By clicking on Save Changes<\/strong>, the bulk editing process of huge data will be done in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This function will be automatically activated for heavy processes and does not affect the bulk editing process of a few numbers of products or variations (for example, less than 100 products). It can be done in a few seconds just like before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Enable<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned above, there is no matter how many products or variations you may need to apply changes. The plugin will divide them into different categories containing 100 products (variations) and make a queue of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then start applying changes to the categories in the queue respectively. All of these processes will be done in the background which means the users won\u2019t see any time-out error or other interruption of the bulk editing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Background<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although the users have no access to the plugin during the big data processing, there is a force stop button designed on the page allowing them to stop the process at any time. It is also possible to undo all changes that have been made in the previous process directly in the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To inform the user how is bulk editing process situation, a brief information about the number of rows that have been updated and the number that have been remained will be displayed on the screen during the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s make some examples to see how this new update can help store managers bulk edit big data on the large scale online shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
