Method 3: Bulk Editing Product Weights Using Shopify's Bulk Editor
If you need to update weights for multiple products or variants quickly, Shopify’s Bulk Editor is a convenient option.

Enter or adjust the weight for each product or variant directly in the table.
-
You can also drag down values to apply them to multiple rows at once.

Click Save at the top of the editor to apply your changes.

Method 4: Bulk Adding Product Weight Using a CSV File
If you have many products or variants to update, using a CSV file can be a time-saving option.
-
Export Your Product List:
-
In the Shopify admin, go to Products.
-
Click on the Export button.
-
Choose All Products or select specific products.
-
Choose the CSV for Excel, Numbers, or another spreadsheet program option, and click Export Products.
-
-
Edit the CSV File:
-
Open the exported CSV file in your spreadsheet program.
-
Locate the Weight column.
-
If your product has variants, each variant will be listed separately. Enter the appropriate weight for each variant.
-
Ensure that the unit of measurement is consistent across all entries.
-
-
Import the Updated CSV File:
-
After editing, save the file.
-
Return to Shopify admin and go to Products.
-
Click on Import.
-
Upload the CSV file you just edited.
-
Click Upload and continue, review the changes, and then click Start import.
-
-
Verify the Changes:
-
Once the import is complete, review a few products and their variants to ensure the weights have been updated correctly.
-
Note: Accurate product weights, especially for each variant, are crucial for calculating shipping quotes correctly. Ensure that the weights entered reflect the actual product weight, including packaging if necessary.
