How to manage products in PrestaShop effectively?

In a previous article, we introduced you to Product Manager, a customization tool that can help you mass edit product tax and tax rules. However, that is only a small part of the functionality of this module. As its name suggests, this is an extremely useful tool that can assist you in managing products in the PrestaShop store.

With the Product Manager module, all things related to products in your store will be managed and edited in the most scientific and time-saving way.

Maybe, if you only manage a small store with a few dozen products, adding attributes, editing, or as simple as creating and adding tax rules for products can be quite frustrating when you have to sit all day just to do the same job repeatedly dozens of times.

So, imagine if you are running a large store with thousands of products, what should you do? Will you sit and edit thousands of products one by one? Do you have the time and enough patience to do it when there are so many other jobs that need you?

Of course, your problem is also a common problem of many other store owners. Therefore, mass/bulk/quick edit products have also become a problem that not only store owners but also web developers care about. So, what are the benefits of editing a range of products?

You must have a rough idea of the benefits of bulk editing by now, right? The first is to reduce the amount of work required; instead of performing the same task hundreds, even thousands of times, you only need to conduct a few simple processes.

A second significant benefit is time-saving: because you can mass update items in a few steps, you will save time and have more time to do other things.

There is one more benefit that I find to be quite important and that is improving your mood. I don't know if you have the same opinion as me. It's also great to help you get things done faster, and more efficiently, and to help you avoid the boredom of having to do the same things over and over again, isn't it?

This is something that I have personally experienced when I sit all day to edit a small detail of the price for all products in the store. I was so bored that I almost wanted to quit my job. I'm just telling this for fun but I think there must be a lot of people who feel the same way.
