How can I update all of my item's online availability in bulk?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Removing items in bulk from "Where it's sold".

Setting up my website I am encountering all of my sku's (2000+)are switched to on under the "Where it's sold" heading.  I want to turn them ALL off, and manually select only a few to add to my website.  Support desk told me to go into each sku and turn it off.  There has to be a more efficient way...

Hi @darrentokaryk, 👋

You can use Square’s bulk actions tool to easily update your items' online availability.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard and go to Items & Orders > Items > Item Library.
2. Check the box next to each item you want to edit, or check the box at the top of the item column to select all items.
3. Click the Actions button in the bottom right-hand corner.
4. Choose Update Sales Channels.
5. Uncheck the box next to your website.
6. Hit the Update button.
   
   

With the bulk actions tool, you can also update site visibility, categories, fulfillment methods, online sale prices, and low stock alerts. You can also set items as non-taxable or archive/delete them entirely.

The Square Dashboard also has a bulk editing tool, which lets you change up to 250 item attributes at once.

To use the bulk edit tool:

1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard and navigate to Items & Orders > Items > Item Library.
2. Check the box next to each item you want to edit, or check the box at the top of the item column to select all items.
3. Click the Edit Items button in the bottom right-hand corner.
4. Use the Attributes drop-down menu to pick the attributes you want to change.
5. Edit one cell at a time or multiple cells:
   • Click the column header to select all cells in a column.
   • Hold Shift and click the first and last cells in a range to select multiple adjacent cells.
   • Hold Ctrl or ⌘Cmd and click each cell to select specific non-adjacent cells.
6. Make the changes to your items' attributes.
7. Click Update Variations.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out. 😊
