Can you bulk edit orders in Shopify?

Which order actions run in bulk?

Select orders on the Orders page. Shopify's bulk actions table lists these desktop examples, not the full set:

• Fulfill orders, Mark as in progress, Mark as unfulfilled, Request fulfillment, Cancel fulfillment request
• Capture order payments, Print packing slips, Create and edit shipping labels (requires shipping labels in Shopify)
• Add tags, Remove tags, Archive orders, Unarchive orders
• Cancel order, Run an automated workflow (requires Flow), App functions

On mobile: no Cancel order, Flow, App functions or fulfillment-status actions besides Fulfill orders; up to 25 orders at a time.

Where do bulk actions stop?

• Orders on hold, scheduled for later or already at that status can't change status in bulk.
• Above 250 selected orders, some bulk fulfillment features might not be available.
• Mark as fulfilled doesn't apply to orders a fulfillment service handles.
• Bulk capture of credit card payments takes each order's total payment amount; capture a partial payment on the individual order.
• Buy and print up to 250 shipping labels at once from Orders; printing them later from the Shipping labels page takes at most 100 at a time.

What still happens one order at a time?

Quantities and shipping fees change in each order's editor; a Shopify Flow workflow run as a bulk action can add a product variant to several selected orders at once.

The spreadsheet bulk editor covers products and their inventory, collections and customers, and none of the pages we read lists orders (bulk editing products).

Apart from full refunds that a bulk cancel can issue, no page we have read describes bulk refunds or bulk deletes for orders, though drafts can be deleted in bulk on desktop; to delete an order, archive or cancel it first.
