Flowbyte Bulk Edit vs SanBar EXPress Sheet for WooCommerce

Flowbyte Bulk Edit adds a powerful product editor under Products → Bulk Edit in your WordPress admin. Stop opening one product at a time — filter your catalog, click any cell to edit it, or run a chunked bulk update across hundreds or thousands of products with a progress bar. Filtering Search by product title or SKU Filter by category, tag, and any registered product attribute (Color, Size, Brand, etc.) Price range and stock-quantity range Stock status, product type, post status, and featured flag Active filter badges on each section so you always know what’s applied Inline editing Click any cell in the table to edit it. Press Enter to save, Esc to cancel; click outside also saves. Name, SKU, regular price, sale price Stock quantity (auto-enables manage-stock when you set a value) Stock status, post status Categories — opens a searchable multi-select popover with hierarchical labels Description and short description — open a TinyMCE modal with the full WordPress visual editor Variable products show their variations as expandable sub-rows; each variation can be inline-edited independently. Editing a variation refreshes the parent’s aggregate price range automatically. Bulk operations Pick “Selected” or “All filtered”, choose an action, fill the parameters, and apply. The plugin sends product IDs to the server in chunks of 50 with a cancellable progress bar. Regular and sale prices — set, increase, or decrease by fixed amount or percent, with optional rounding (.99, .00, whole number) Sale window — set or clear sale start / end dates Stock — set quantity, set status, or toggle manage-stock Categories and tags — add, remove, or replace Shipping class and tax class — set Status, featured, catalog visibility — set Price and stock operations on variable products apply to each variation and re-sync the parent. Safety All AJAX endpoints require the manage_woocommerce capability and a nonce “Apply to all filtered” is capped at 5,000 products per run to keep memory predictable Each bulk chunk reports per-product errors that are surfaced in the progress modal — failed products don’t stop the batch No external HTTP calls, no telemetry, no upsell

Portuguese (Brazil) translation included. Why use this plugin? The native WooCommerce product list is great for browsing but slow for bulk editing. The Quick Edit and Bulk Edit features cover only a few fields. CSV imports are powerful but error-prone. SanBar EXPress Sheet sits between them: a familiar spreadsheet UI with full validation, designed for shop owners who add or update many products per day.
