PRESTASHOP ADDON TO BULK EDIT PRODUCT CATEGORIES

Bulk Edit Product Categories in PrestaShop

If you manage a PrestaShop store with dozens, hundreds or thousands of products, you know how time-consuming it can be to keep your catalogue organised. Assigning products to categories one by one, opening each product page individually, is a slow and repetitive task that eats up valuable time.

The Bulk Edit Categories module solves that problem. Directly from the product listing in your back office, select the products you want, choose the categories and apply the changes in seconds — without opening a single product page.

How it works

The module adds a "Bulk Categories" button at the top of the product listing, alongside the actions you already know. The workflow is simple and intuitive:

1. Select the products you want to update (one, several or all).
2. Click "Bulk Categories".
3. Choose categories from a tree with a built-in search field.
4. Select the assignment mode and apply.

In a matter of seconds, dozens of products are organised exactly the way you want.

Two assignment modes

• Add to existing categories — keeps the categories products already belong to and adds the new ones. Ideal for including products in a campaign, collection or seasonal category without disrupting your current structure.
• Replace all categories — removes previous assignments and keeps only the selected categories. Perfect for catalogue reorganisations and clean-ups.

Features

• Bulk assignment directly from the product listing — no opening product pages, no CSV imports, no complicated exports.
• Category tree with search — quickly find any category, even in large and deeply nested catalogue structures.
• Default category setting — choose which of the selected categories becomes the primary category for the products, or keep the current one.
• Flexible selection — work with a single product, a specific selection or all products on the page.
• Instant confirmation — receive a success message and the listing updates automatically.
