What metangelo does

Last updated

metangelo is a bulk editor for your Shopify store. You pick the fields you want to fill in, edit them in a grid that works like a spreadsheet, review every change, and apply. Nothing is written to your store until you press Apply, and every change you apply can be reverted.

What you can edit

  • Variants: price, compare-at price, cost, SKU, barcode, weight, country of origin, HS code, and your own variant metafields.
  • Products: description, SEO title, SEO description, tags, and your own product metafields.
  • Orders from the last 60 days: note, PO number, tags, and your own order metafields.

See Which fields can be edited.

How a change reaches your store

  1. You edit cells in the grid. Each edit is kept as a draft change. The line over the grid says so: "3 draft changes on 2 variants. Nothing has been sent to Shopify."
  2. Review changes lists each draft with the value in your store now and the value after you apply.
  3. Apply sends only the cells you changed, and reads each value back from your store to show it landed.
  4. The result page shows what happened to every cell, and offers Revert these changes.

What you do not need

  • No file, unless you want one. The grid is the editor. A CSV round trip is there for the merchants who prefer a spreadsheet.
  • No developer. Fields are shown by name, not by namespace and key.
  • No carrier or shipping app to fill in dimensions. The app fills your fields; your rate app reads them.

Where to start

Your first edit walks the first ten minutes. If you are here to fill in dimensions for a shipping rate, go straight to Filling in dimensions.
