Editing listings in bulk

Crosslist lets you easily edit your listings in bulk from the dashboard.

This feature allows you to update multiple listings at once — such as adjusting prices, changing conditions, or updating categories — without editing each listing individually.

You can make bulk edits using the bulk editor to update your listings in a spreadsheet-style view, or use listing templates to apply the same changes to multiple listings at once.

Via the bulk listing editor

Start by selecting the listings you want to update in your listing overview, then click the Bulk actions button at the top right.

Next, choose Bulk edit X listing(s) to open the bulk editor view.

Bulk edit listings

INFO

You can edit up to 100 listings at once.

Spreadsheet-style edit

The bulk editor displays all selected products and the fields you can update in bulk: photos, title, SKU, description, price, quantity, category, size, condition, color, and tags.

  • Edit fields directly in the table.
  • For larger fields (like photos), a pop-up will appear when you click the table cell.

Changes are only saved when you click Save. Modified listings will appear with a purple highlight.

Use the undo button at the start of a row to revert changes for that listing. Click Undo all changes at the bottom to revert all edits.

INFO

Use the Columns dropdown in the top right to choose which columns are visible and adjust their order.

Rule-based edit

You can also apply rule-based changes to multiple listings at once. First, select the listings you want to edit using the checkboxes, then click one of the bulk edit buttons at the top of the table.

Bulk edit prices

Use this tool to quickly adjust prices across multiple products—for example, to run a seasonal sale or update prices in bulk.

Via listing templates

Creating a listing template

To get started, create a listing template.

For a detailed guide on how to create one, click here.

When setting up the template, only include the fields you want to update. This ensures only those specific fields are modified when the template is applied.

INFO

Some fields will only show up after you pick a marketplace, since they’re only needed for certain ones.

Applying the listing template

To apply the template to your listings in bulk, select the listings you want to update in your listing overview and click the Bulk actions button at the top right.

Then, click the Apply template to X listing(s) button:

Bulk apply template

Now, select the template you want to apply from the list:

Select template

Once applied, all selected listings will be updated with the values from the template. Only the fields included in the template will be changed.

WARNING

Applying a template will overwrite the existing fields in your listings with the values specified in the template.

Fields left blank in the template will remain unchanged.

This action cannot be undone, so double-check your selections.

INFO

To adjust prices across marketplaces, consider using price markups. Markups let you easily increase or decrease prices based on where you're listing.
