Working with multiple filters and actions

You don’t have to create a separate edit for every single change. Modify lets you combine multiple filters and multiple actions into a single bulk edit task — saving you time and keeping everything in one place.

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.




Filtering products with multiple conditions

To start narrowing down which products to edit, click on Filter products based on condition(s) in Step 1.

Here, you can add as many filter conditions as you need to target specific products. For example, you might first filter by a specific collection, then click Add new filter to set another condition — such as product type, vendor, or tag. You can continue adding filters like this to refine your selection with precision.

Once you’ve added your conditions, you can decide how they should work together:

Match all conditions: Only products that meet every single filter will be included. (Think of this as “AND logic.”)
Match any condition: Products that match at least one of the filters will be included. (Think of this as “OR logic.”)

This gives you full control over whether you want your filters to be strict or more flexible.

In the screenshots below, you can clearly see the difference between Match all conditions and Match any condition in how products are filtered.

This helps you decide which logic best fits your editing goals.


Apply multiple actions in one edit

After setting your product filters, you can configure multiple actions to be applied to the selected products — all in a single edit task. Just click Add new action again after setting the first one, and continue adding as many actions as needed.

For example, you can simultaneously update the product title, adjust the price, and add a new tag — all in one go. This helps streamline your workflow and saves you from creating separate edits for each change.



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 actions. This helps you make sure everything is set up correctly before finalizing the edit.

When using multiple actions in a single edit, make sure to click Show all changes in the preview step to review all updates across your selected products before publishing.

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! 😊
