Add product prices in bulk

You can change product prices individually within your ShipCompliant account, but if you need to update a lot of prices at once, a bulk import is a faster option. There are 2 ways to add prices in bulk: in Setup Products, and in Setup Wholesale Prices. In, Products, you’ll find a blank template to add new product data, while in Wholesale Prices, you can export a pre-populated file that includes product details from your account.

Bulk importing in Setup Products

Use the blank template in Products if you are entering new product information into ShipCompliant, or are updating a lot of product information at once.

  1. In ShipCompliant, go to Setup, then click Products.
