Bulk editing product title — made simple
As your store grows, managing product titles one by one can become overwhelming — especially during seasonal campaigns, product launches, or SEO updates. With Modify, you can update titles for hundreds of products in just a few clicks, saving you time and keeping your catalog consistent.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to bulk edit product titles using Modify’s editing workflow.
Getting started
If you haven’t already, install Modify-it from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, open the app and click Create edit to start a new bulk task.
To start updating product titles, first choose which products you want to apply the changes to:
- Use Filter products based on condition(s) to narrow down products using specific conditions like tags, inventory, price or etc.
- Or simply select All products to update tags across your entire store.
Once you’ve selected the products you want to edit, click Add new action and choose Product title as the field to update. You can now decide how you want to adjust the titles:
Add text to start – Add custom text at the beginning of each product title. Great for campaigns like “Sale -” or “New!”
Add text to end – Add text at the end of titles, like “– Limited Edition” or “(2025 Edition)
Remove text to start – Remove a fixed word or phrase from the beginning of titles
Remove text to end – Remove unwanted suffixes from titles
Replace with – Find and replace a specific word or phrase in the title
Capitalize first letter – Makes only the first letter of each title uppercase
Capitalize each word – Capitalizes the first letter of every word in the title (Title Case)
Uppercase each word – Converts the full title to ALL CAPS
Lowercase every letter – Converts the full title to lowercase
Remove – Lets you choose a specific word or phrase to remove from all product titles
Set to – Replaces the entire title with new text
⚠️ When using Add text to start, Add text to end, or Replace with, don’t forget to add a space before or after your text if needed — otherwise, it’ll be added directly next to the existing words without any spacing.
Once your filters and actions are set up correctly, it’s time to decide when your edit should run.
To apply the changes immediately, select Run now.
To schedule the edit for a later time, choose Schedule for later and pick a date and time that works for you.
If you want the changes to automatically revert at a specific time, enable Revert to the original and set the time for the revert.
In the Preview product changes section, you can review the before-and-after view of your product titles. This helps you make sure everything is set up correctly before finalizing the edit.
Finalizing Your Bulk Edit
Once you’ve set everything up correctly, click Publish to proceed.
A popup will appear showing a summary of the actions you’ve configured and the scheduled time for the edit.
If everything looks good, click Confirm to create and run your bulk edit task.
Your task is now running!
Head over to the Dashboard page to track its progress.
If you’re editing just a few hundred products, it should finish quickly. For larger edits (thousands of products), it might take a bit longer.
⚠️ Once the edit starts, it can’t be paused or stopped. But no worries — if you need to undo the changes later, you can always revert the task after it’s completed.
Once the task finishes, you can revert if necessary or duplicate the task.
Troubleshooting
If the task finishes without making any changes, it usually means that either no updates were actually needed, or none of your selected conditions matched any products. In this case, your task will appear with the status “Unchanged” in the dashboard.
Double-check all your filters and selected actions, then try again if needed.
If you exceed the current plan limits, you won’t be able to publish the task after clicking the Publish button. Instead, you’ll be prompted to upgrade your plan in order to continue.
If the task fails with a server error, wait a bit and try again. If the issue continues, feel free to reach out to us through the in-app chat support — we’re here to help. It might be a temporary issue with Shopify, or with our servers.
If the configured changes cannot be applied to certain products, those products will appear in the preview with no difference between the before and after values. You’ll also see the reason for the rejected changes clearly displayed in the preview section.
That’s a wrap! We hope Modify has made managing your store easier and more efficient. If you’ve enjoyed using the app, we’d truly appreciate it if you left us a review on the Shopify App Store — your support means the world to us! 😊
