Setary Review: Bulk Edit Products in WooCommerce

By Maria Pirzada AnsariLeave a comment

Are you looking for an easy way to manage your online store’s inventory? WooCommerce by default is quite limited when it comes to managing stock inventory and making product updates, especially if you have a lot of products in your store’s catalog.

The standard way to make product changes and view your inventory is by navigating to multiple pages. This can be incredibly time-consuming for store managers that work with large product catalogs. In addition to this, it can be hard to manage product or stock updates for multiple WooCommerce sites at once. You will have to manually open the dashboard for each of your online stores and make changes to products that way. If you sell around a few dozen products in each store, you’ll have to make edits to over a hundred products each time.

This is why it can be so useful to incorporate a dedicated inventory management tool like Setary into your workflow, especially if your online store has thousands of products.

This is particularly true if you’re serious about privacy. Google Analytics, though incredibly feature-rich, collects personal and personally identifiable information from site users. This includes online identifiers such as IP addresses, visited pages, browser fingerprints, and more.

The good news is that there are some excellent Google Analytics alternatives out there that offer a privacy-focused approach to tracking analytics for eCommerce stores.
