Bulk editing with Gridline
Set how customers pay, the deposit and the pre-order limit for many products at once in Gridline's bulk editor.
Note
This is part of Preorderline Pro.
Gridline is Extendiment's bulk product editor. With Preorderline, it has Pre-orders and Release date columns. With Preorderline Pro, the same Pre-orders group also has:
- Pre-order payment: Store default (variations: same as product), Up front, When it's released, or A deposit now, the rest on release.
- Deposit: a percentage such as
20%, an amount such as25, or empty for the store's (or the product's, for a variation). - Pre-order limit: a whole number, or empty for no limit.
The Pre-orders column also offers When out of stock.
The columns are hidden at first: turn them on in Screen Options on Gridline's screen.
Editing
The values mean what they mean on the product's Pre-order tab, with the same checks: a deposit that isn't a percentage or an amount, or a limit that isn't a whole number, isn't saved, and the cell shows why. The rest of your changes save as usual.
Variations have their own rows under their product, so a variation's payment or limit is set the same way.
Tip
To launch a whole collection with deposits, select its products, bulk-set Pre-orders to Not released yet, Release date to the launch day and Pre-order payment to the deposit, then save.
