Collection Price Updater

A Shopify Admin application for previewing, applying, auditing, repeating, and rolling back price changes across a collection.

The business problem

Repricing every product in a Shopify collection by hand is slow, and a mistaken bulk change is difficult to reverse. The merchant needed a controlled operation with visibility before and after the write.

What DSWD delivered

DSWD built an embedded Shopify Admin application that raises or lowers collection prices by a fixed amount or percentage, previews the exact result for every affected product, records each run, and supports both repeat and rollback.

The operator experience

The merchant selects a collection and a price rule, reviews before-and-after values and the affected count, then confirms the change. Completed runs remain available in history for audit, repeat, or reversal.

Safeguards and operating qualities

  • Preview and execution share the same price calculation.
  • A before-change snapshot supports rollback.
  • History keeps operation status and scope visible.
  • Small and large product sets use execution paths appropriate to their size.
  • Changes are explicit and confirmed before mutation.

Project-specific technical choices

For this project, we used an embedded Shopify application, durable change history, and scale-aware bulk execution because the operation needed to feel native to merchants while remaining reversible and dependable across differently sized collections.

Evidence and claim boundary

The application is deployed and operating in production. The page describes its verified behavior without attaching an unmeasured efficiency or error-reduction claim.
