As your online store grows, it is very important to use professional tools for adding, editing, and managing a large number of products. The most challenging problem that the store managers of big online shops need to face is bulk editing products and their features. To help them overcome this challenge, we made a big update on the WooCommerce products bulk edit plugin<\/a> to support large-scale online shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the challenges of bulk editing products in large scale online shops?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have already tried to bulk edit hundreds of thousands of products in your big online shops, you definitely encounter the following issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfinished data processing or time-out errors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time-out errors are the most annoying challenges that occur during the bulk edit action of Big e-commerce stores. The result is an interruption in the bulk editing process which means some required data remain unchanged and managers need to find those products and bulk edit them again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time-consuming process with no access to another part of WordPress <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another problem is the long time that takes to finish the bulk editing process in massive online shops. The worst thing is that store managers need to wait whole the time during the bulk edit process to have access to other sections of WordPress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently came up with an idea to solve all of these problems and make the bulk change process more enjoyable and error-free for store managers of big online shops. Let\u2019s learn more about the big update of the WooCommerce bulk edit products plugin to support large scale online shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the big update of our plugin solve problems to support large scale online shops?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our developer team worked hard to find the best solution for solving both problems. Fortunately, they could apply a big update to support large scale online shops with the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dividing big data into separate categories and sending them for bulk editing one by one in a queue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first solution applied in the big update of the WooCommerce bulk edit products plugin was dividing a large number of products into categories each one containing one hundred products then sending the categorized data for processing in a queue for bulk editing, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, the plugin can bulk edit the categories in a queue one by one until the process of all categories is finished. The result of implementing this feature is solving the time-out error problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perform the bulk edit process in the background <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second solution that our developers came up with was manipulating the code of our plugin to perform the bulk editing process in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, even if there are thousands of products for bulk editing, managers can work with other tools and plugins in the WordPress dashboard, simultaneously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new feature can save a lot of time because store managers are now able to do other tasks during the bulk edit process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
