Can I update 5,000 product prices via CSV?

Yes. A CSV with just ID and Price columns is enough for an update import. Note: PrestaShop recalculates tax-inclusive prices on import if your tax rate changes. Test on 10 rows first.

Is direct SQL modification dangerous?

Yes if done wrong. An UPDATE without a targeted WHERE can overwrite the whole catalog. Always on backup. The Seegea module does the same thing with built-in rollback — no SQL risk.

Can Seegea modify PrestaShop custom fields / features?

Yes, via the extended tabular grid. Each feature and attribute becomes an editable column. Edit and push to PrestaShop in real time.

How many products can Seegea process in one session?

No hard limit. Edits are pushed in batches of 200 to the PrestaShop API. A 50,000-product catalog is processed in a few hours without intervention.

PrestaShop bulk edit: update 1,000 products in 10 minutes

PrestaShop is designed for small catalogs edited one by one. But when you have 500, 5,000 or 50,000 products to update — brand change, price reform, sale campaign — the native back-office becomes a bottleneck. Here are the 4 real methods to bulk edit.

Seegea — inline tabular editing for PrestaShop

The 4 PrestaShop bulk editing methods

Native back-office

Catalog → multi-select → grouped action. Allows: enable/disable, change category, delete. No bulk edit of prices, descriptions or SEO.

CSV update import

A CSV with only ID + columns to update. Powerful but risky: a bad mapping overwrites data. No preview, no rollback.

Seegea module v3.9.1

Inline tabular grid: edit any field directly in the cell, like Excel. Immediate push to PrestaShop, full Ctrl+Z rollback, per-field history.

Concrete bulk edit scenarios

The most common operations on a PrestaShop catalog:

Raise all prices by 5% (supplier inflation)
Add a suffix to 300 product titles (“ - Sale -50%”)
Rewrite 2,000 meta descriptions for an SEO overhaul
Update stock for 10,000 combinations from an ERP feed
Change the brand on 400 products after a supplier acquisition

Before any bulk edit: database snapshot or backup. With Seegea, every operation creates a version — the backup is automatic and rollback is 1 click.

Operation	Back-office	CSV import	Seegea
Edit 1,000 prices	Impossible	CSV + 30 min	5 min (paste)
Edit 500 descriptions	Impossible	CSV + 1h	10 min
Update combination stock	Impossible	Separate combo CSV	5 min
Rollback on error	Impossible	Restore backup	Ctrl+Z 1 click

FAQ

Very limitedly: you can enable/disable products in bulk and change the default category. Prices, descriptions, metas, stock: you need CSV, SQL or a module.
