Bossy Bulk Editor for WooCommerce

Description

Stop editing your WooCommerce products one… at… a… time.

You didn’t open a shop to spend your afternoon clicking into products one by one — change a price, save, repeat 200 times. Bossy puts your entire catalog in a single spreadsheet-style screen: every product, every variation, right there. Search, filter, edit inline, bulk-apply, done. Open WooCommerce → Bossy Bulk Editor and take your afternoon back.

Bulk edit everything WooCommerce makes you do by hand:

• Bulk edit prices — set a value, or raise/lower by percentage or amount, on regular or sale price
• Bulk edit stock, weight, dimensions, and shipping class across any selection
• Bulk edit categories and tags — add, set, or remove
• Inline-edit titles, SKUs, status, and short/long descriptions right in the grid
• Sequential SKU generator — prefix, start number, digit width, and separator
• Schedule a future publish date across selected products
• Edit every variation — expand any variable product and change price, SKU, stock, weight, and images without ever leaving the row

One wrong bulk apply used to mean fixing it by hand. Not anymore.

Before every bulk write, Bossy saves a snapshot of your catalog. Made a mistake? One click puts it back — no developer, no database access, no panic, and no product cap on undo. This was the very first feature we built, because we’ve been the person re-fixing 200 rows by hand while the store was live. Never again.

Built for shops where the photography IS the product.

If you sell apparel, handmade goods, accessories, jewelry — anything where every variation has its own shot — WooCommerce’s native variation image assignment is actively hostile. Open the product, scroll to the variation, click Edit, search the media library, find the image, save, go back. Times 80 variations. Times 30 products.

Bossy handles this at catalog scale from a single screen. Expand any variable product in the grid and you see all its variations at once. Click a variation’s main image zone or gallery slot and a focused modal opens — showing only the images already attached to that product. No searching the full media library. No scrolling past hundreds of unrelated uploads. Your product shots are right there. Click one; it’s assigned. Done in two clicks instead of ten. Every image assignment is snapshot-backed, so undo works here too.

Need to move faster across a whole catalog? Pro turns the variation image workflow into a bulk operation: drag-and-drop straight from the product image pool onto any variation, distribute a parent gallery across every variation’s main image in one pass (Fill empty mains / Assign in order), generate all variations in place when you add an attribute, and clear variation mains and galleries in bulk — all chunked and all undoable. If variation photography is your bottleneck, this is the release that fixes it.

Genuinely free — not a trial.

The WordPress.org version is the complete Bulk Editor. No product cap. No license key. No account. Nothing locked behind a 14-day timer. Everything above works the moment you activate it. We mean it.

Built by a shop owner, for shop owners.

Bossy was built by the maker behind ShesSoCraftyGoods — a real WooCommerce store with 200+ products and variations on everything. Every feature exists because running that shop demanded it and nothing on the market did it right. If something’s missing, tell us in the support forum — we actually read it.

Variation images at catalog scale — the Pro image toolkit:

• Distribute a parent gallery across variation mains in bulk — Fill empty mains and Assign in order, chunked with undo

• Bulk clear variation main images, gallery images, or both on selected variation rows — chunked with undo
• Media Manager — manage every product gallery from one screen, including one-click Clear gallery per product card (with undo)
• Gallery & Storefront Settings — four frontend layout presets (quilt/tiled collage, editorial main stage, filmstrip, ledge), thumbnail controls, per-variation galleries

Beyond images:

• Find & Replace across key text fields
• CSV Export (filtered / selected / all, choose your field set)
• CSV Import with visual column mapping and Etsy/Shopify auto-detection
• Inline Attributes editing in the grid
• Bulk Clone / Duplicate products
• Customer personalization fields (engraving, custom text — carries through to the order)
