How to enable batch tracking to products in bulk

You can enable batch tracking in bulk by updating product information via CSV or importing new products via CSV. 

Navigate to Inventory > click Bulk Manage, then select Update Existing Products or Import New Products. 

This article details the process of downloading a CSV file containing all of your products. To enable Batch Tracking in bulk, you'll need to select the Batch Tracked attribute when choosing which product attributes to update and include in your CSV export. 

Once you have downloaded an export of your products containing the Batch Tracked attribute, input TRUE or FALSE as needed for each of your product's and their variants.

Do note that in your spreadsheet, you cannot input TRUE and FALSE for the variants of the same product. TradeGecko will register the information based on the first variant listed in the spreadsheet (as highlighted in the following image). In the example below, TradeGecko will register Cat Tuxedo as FALSE, not batch tracked. 

Continue to upload your updated spreadsheet. You'll be asked for one last check on your updated products.

Upload these products to complete your product update. Your desired products will now have batch tracking enabled in bulk.

Done!
