Manage many products at once

The Products tab gives you a single place to see every product's classification and release date, and to update many products at once without going into Shopify admin. Open it at Settings, Pre-orders (in Addora ↗).

PRODUCT WALKTHROUGH Example interface

Browsing the list

Three views let you focus on what you need: Pre-orders shows only pre-order products, Supplier orders shows only supplier items, and All products shows everything. Use the search box to filter by product title. Products load 25 at a time. Click Load more to see the next page.

Each row shows the product image, name, variant count, a classification badge (Pre-order, Supplier order, or In stock), how the product was classified (for example, by a tag or by a product field), and the current release date if one is set.

Marking or removing one product

• To add a product to pre-orders or supplier items: click Mark as pre-order or Mark as supplier on an in-stock product row. Addora adds the appropriate tag or updates the product field, depending on what you have configured in Setup.
• To remove a product: choose Remove pre-order or Remove supplier. The update follows the configured classification source; manual selections do not require inventing a Shopify tag. Existing held orders reconcile asynchronously and retain applicable order-level overrides.

Updating many products at once

1. Tick the checkbox next to each product you want to update. Use the Select all on this page checkbox at the top to select the whole current page.
2. A bulk action bar appears showing how many products are selected and which actions are available.
3. Click the action you want, for example Mark as pre-order or Remove supplier.
4. A confirmation prompt tells you how many products will be changed. Confirm to start the update.
5. A progress bar tracks the update as it runs. Each product takes one call to Shopify, so larger batches take a few moments. You do not need to stay on the page.

Date changes are reconciled asynchronously in the store time zone. Product-level changes preserve manually pinned order dates and supplier stock-confirmation rules. A native preorder promise may impose a later minimum date. Check the affected order after processing rather than assuming an immediate update or guaranteed email.

Mark ready or record a partial arrival

Ready means available for shipment selection, not dispatched. Order-drawer actions affect that order only. Product Mark ready can update all affected purchases; quantity arrivals allocate only the received variant units to the oldest eligible purchases. Remaining units stay held, and product-wide and pinned order-date rules remain distinct.

Use the product/variant Mark ready action for all eligible held demand, or enter Quantity received for a partial delivery. Received units are allocated to the oldest eligible purchases; they do not change Shopify inventory. Review the confirmation, affected counts and remaining held quantities. An order-drawer action affects only that order; product actions can affect several customers.
