Organizing WooCommerce products properly is essential for maintaining a clean store structure and helping customers find products more easily.
While categories help organize products into broader groups, product tags provide additional details that improve navigation, filtering, and product discovery.
If you need to update tags across multiple products, manually editing each product can be time consuming and inefficient.
In this guide, you will learn how to filter WooCommerce products by category and bulk edit product tags using a faster spreadsheet style workflow.
The Problem With Editing Product Tags Manually
By default, WooCommerce requires you to open individual products or use limited bulk editing options.
This creates several challenges:
- Updating tags takes too much time
- Managing large catalogs becomes difficult
- Repetitive editing increases the risk of errors
- Finding products that need updates can be difficult
As your store grows, manually managing product tags and Categories becomes increasingly inefficient.
A Faster Way to Manage Product Tags and Categories
Instead of editing products one by one, Sheetspilot allows you to filter products by category and update tags in bulk from a centralized spreadsheet style interface.
This makes organizing and managing large WooCommerce catalogs significantly easier.
How to Bulk Edit Product Tags and Categories Using Sheetspilot
Here is the exact workflow:
Step 1: Install SheetsPilot Plugin
First, install the SheetsPilot plugin on your WordPress website. Once activated, open the SheetsPilot interface from your WordPress dashboard.
Step 2: Open the Spreadsheet Interface
Inside SheetsPilot, all your website content is displayed in a clean spreadsheet style layout for faster management and editing.
Step 3: Select the Post Type
Choose the post type you want to manage, such as Posts, Pages, Products, or Custom Post Types.
Step 4: Apply Filters
Use the filtering options to display products from a specific category.
For example:
- Clothing
- Accessories
- Shirts
This allows you to quickly isolate the products you want to manage. You can combine multiple filter conditions to target exactly the content you need.
Step 5: Select All Filtered Products
Click the ID checkbox to select all products matching your filter conditions.
Step 6: Open Bulk Actions
Click on the “Bulk Actions” button above the spreadsheet table.
Step 7: Choose the Change Product Tags Action
Select “Change Product Tags” from the bulk actions dropdown menu.
Step 8: Select the Desired Product Tags
Choose the tags you want to assign to all selected products. You can also select multiple product tags at the same time.
Step 9: Apply the Bulk Update
Click on “Apply to selected rows” to instantly assign the tags for all selected products at once.
And that’s it, SheetsPilot will instantly update the product tags for all selected products, eliminating the need to edit each product individually.
Example Use Case
Suppose you want to add a “Summer Collection” tag to all products within your Clothing category.
Using the default WooCommerce editor, you would need to manually edit every product.
With Sheetspilot, you can:
- Filter products by the Clothing category
- Select all matching products
- Add the Summer Collection tag
- Apply the changes instantly
This saves significant time when managing large product catalogs.
