Bulk Vendor & Product Type Editor

Rename a vendor across 300 products.
In under 5 minutes.

Shopify has no bulk vendor rename tool. A supplier rebrand means opening each product, editing the vendor field, and saving — one at a time. For a catalogue of 300 products that’s 3 hours of clicking for a task that should take 5 minutes. AssetScope does it in one operation: filter by current vendor, type the new name, select all, apply. The same goes for bulk updating product type across your entire catalogue.

Shopify has no bulk vendor rename. It’s one edit per product.

Supplier rebrands are a reality of commerce

Suppliers rebrand, merge, split, and change names. When they do, every product in your catalogue with the old vendor name needs updating. Shopify gives you no way to do this in bulk. It’s 1 edit per product, every single time.

300 products = 3 hours of clicking

At 30–60 seconds per product edit in Shopify admin, a 300-product vendor rename takes 2.5 to 5 hours. That’s the kind of task merchants hand to a VA — or defer indefinitely because it’s too painful to do themselves.

CSV import is risky and time-consuming

The standard alternative is exporting your product CSV, finding and replacing the vendor column, and re-importing. A one-column change requires a full-catalogue export and import, with all the risk of corrupting data across other fields.

Filter, type the new value, apply.

1

Select Vendor or Product Type mode

Choose whether you’re editing vendor names or product types. All current values are shown as clickable filters so you can see exactly what’s in your catalogue before starting.

2

Filter, select, type the new value

Click a current vendor to filter to only its products. Select all or a subset. Type the new vendor name in the input field. You can see every affected product listed with their current and incoming values before applying.

3

Apply to all selected products

AssetScope updates every selected product via the Shopify API sequentially. Progress is shown in real time. A 300-product vendor rename is complete in under 5 minutes.

Common questions about bulk Shopify vendor editing.

How do I change the vendor for multiple Shopify products at once?
Shopify’s admin has no built-in bulk vendor rename tool. The only native options are editing products individually or exporting a CSV, editing the vendor column, and re-importing. AssetScope provides a dedicated bulk vendor editor: filter your products by current vendor, select all or a subset, type the new vendor name, and apply. A 300-product rename completes in under 5 minutes.
Can I bulk update the product type in Shopify?
Yes. AssetScope’s Vendor & Type editor has two modes: Vendor and Product Type. Switch to Product Type mode, filter by current product type, select the affected products, type the new product type, and apply. The same single-operation workflow works for both fields.
Does changing the vendor name affect collections, navigation, or filters?
Changing a vendor name in Shopify updates the product’s vendor field directly. If you have automated collections or navigation menus that use the vendor name as a condition or filter, those will automatically reflect the new name since they query the field value dynamically. Hardcoded vendor references in theme code (rare) would need to be updated manually.
How many products can I update at once?
AssetScope processes products sequentially via the Shopify Admin API to respect rate limits. You can select your entire catalogue at once. For a store with 500 products, a full-catalogue vendor rename typically takes 3–6 minutes depending on API response times.
Can I preview which products will be affected before I apply the change?
Yes. After filtering by current vendor and typing the new name, the product list shows every selected product with its current vendor value and the incoming change. You can review the full list and deselect any products before applying. The change confirmation shows the count of affected products clearly before you commit.
