WooCommerce custom fields \/ metal fields are the best way to add extra information about your Woocommerce products, as in most online stores, the default fields in the Woocommerce product page are not enough for describing the properties of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the store managers have to add some custom fields to add the details. For example, in a mobile store, you may need to give your customers some extra information about the Material body, thickness, Brand, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see in the below picture, you can add some custom fields to add these information to the product page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Obviously, you expect to be able to Bulk edit these information or filter your product according to them by using Woocommerce Bulk Product Editing Plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of this tutorial, you will find out that bulk editing the custom fields \/ Meta fields has never been easier. So, stay with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1- Adding custom fields \/ meta fields<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To add custom fields or custom product meta in the Woocommerce bulk product editing plugin<\/a>, you have to go to the \u201cMeta Fields<\/strong>\u201d tabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see in the below picture, In this tab, you have 2 options for adding your custom fields to the plugin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

1- Add product meta key \/ custom field manually<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To add manually, you have to type the name of Meta field exactly the same as the name you had assigned to that custom field in the Woocommerce product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the first custom field in our product page was \u201cMaterial Body<\/strong>\u201d, so, if we want to add this Meta Field, we can easily type \u201cMaterial Body<\/strong>\u201d in the text box and click on \u201c+\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Then this meta field will be added to the next box which means this custom field has been added to the plugin and you can edit it as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Enter Field Title<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you want to see this field in the plugin with a different title, it is easily possible to assign any title to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, we typed \u201cMaterial<\/strong>\u201d as the title of this custom Field:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Select the Type<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As these meta fields are the options that you have access to for Bulk Editing or Filtering, later, this is important to choose their types. In fact, you have to choose the best option which can display the values you have assigned to that meta field in the Woocommerce and let you edit them in the plugin accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the \u201cSelect Type<\/strong>\u201d combo box, there are so many items to be assigned to your custom Field values including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
