Bulk Archive Shopify Products
Archive many products at once by changing their product status to ARCHIVED via DataEase.
Steps:
1. Run export
Export products in DataEase: New Export → Products. Use filters (by tag, vendor, status, etc.) to target the right set. 
2. Edit data
Open the file and set command = UPDATE on product rows you want to change. In the status column, set ARCHIVED. Allowed values are ACTIVE, DRAFT, ARCHIVED. 
3. Re-import file
Save and run a New Import in DataEase, map columns, and process. 
Tips
- Products match by id (preferred) or handle if id is blank. 
- To unarchive later, set status back to ACTIVE (or DRAFT) and import. 
- You can pre-filter by Status in Export (e.g., only ACTIVE) to build a precise batch. 
Minimal CSV (example)
| handle | command | status |
|---|---|---|
| products1 | UPDATE | ARCHIVED |
