Edit Shopify Product Descriptions with Rich Text Editor

Shopify stores product descriptions in HTML format. This allows you to have the product description text in bold, italic, of different sizes, and more.

With the Mixtable Spreadsheet app you can bulk edit the HTML of your descriptions directly by mapping your product descriptions to a column in your worksheet. But if you are not an HTML wizard, you can use the rich text editor built into Mixtable’s sidebar to add formatting to your descriptions in a “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG) way.

Step 1: Load Shopify Product Description Data in a Worksheet

All you need to use the rich text editor is to have a worksheet that displays products only, or products with variants (Products - Complete (with Variants)) information.

Step 2: Use the Sidebar Option to Launch Rich Text Editor

Select the row which product you’d like to edit, and open the Mixtable sidebar. This will populate the sidebar with the information of the product which row you’ve selected. You’ll see the rich text entry box, along with buttons for the various formatting options you can use.

Step 3: Make the Changes in Product Description

Feel free to make changes in the WYSIWYG rich text editor - anything from changing the headings, adding links and listings, even managing images.
