Simplify Tax Management in PrestaShop 1.7 with Bulk Editing

Taxes play a crucial role in determining the overall cost of your products and shipping fees, making them a complex aspect of managing an online store. PrestaShop, by default, applies a uniform tax rate to all countries, states, and zones. However, when dealing with a diverse customer base, setting specific tax rules for individual products becomes essential. In this guide, we'll explore efficient ways to mass edit product taxes and tax rules on PrestaShop 1.7.

The Challenge of Manual Edits

Manually editing taxes and tax rules for each product can be a tedious and time-consuming task, especially for stores with a large product catalog sold across various countries. Fortunately, there are two common methods to address this challenge.

Method 1: CSV-based editing

Instead of having to open each tax rule and then edit them, you can export the Product listing page into a .csv file to bulk edit the tax rule of each product and then import the file again to get the new update.

However, this way is quite time-consuming, and if there is any update in the taxes of old items you have to do the process again.

Method 2: SQL database management

There is another method that can also help you to mass edit taxes rules. You can export the taxes rules list to SQL Manager and then edit it there.

This method appears to be a little more convenient, but it still takes a long time and requires you to be very careful and have code knowledge. Moreover, it's quite a risk for your database as even a minor error might cause it to be incorrect.

Although the two methods above help you mass edit tax rules, they both have limitations that have not been able to overcome. Then, is there any more comprehensive way? It's what I'm going to tell you now!
