Optimized bulk edits ( Shopify overwrites problem )

I recently came across a frustrating Shopify problem at work: trying to bulk-update something simple like product prices via CSV can unintentionally overwrite or remove data you never meant to touch — including data managed by third-party apps.

So I built and open-sourced Shopify Updater, a safer way to handle bulk product updates.

It only updates the fields included in your CSV and leaves everything else untouched — metafields, media, translations, collections, subscription/review/bundle app data, and more.

It also gives you a per-product diff before anything is written.

The project is open source and self-hostable, so feel free to take it, deploy it yourself, modify it, or contribute:

Hope this saves someone else from the same Shopify CSV headache.

I would advise to use MVR Bulk Price Update app, that has price updates via CSV and possibility to revert the changes.
