When you sell or showcase products online with Lightspeed eCom, your Retail POS is the source of truth. That means, any changes you make to products in POS will reflect in eCom. 

There are also online-specific product settings that are managed from your eCom admin. You can manage these settings in bulk. For example, when you want to change out of stock behavior, add related products, manage categories, and so on. Saved changes take effect immediately in your online storefront and sync across all your sales channels if you have any (such as Facebook, Amazon marketplace, and such).

Using Bulk Product Editor in eCom

The Bulk Product Editor allows you to perform multiple changes to many products and product variants at a time. You can edit most product properties, including shipping settings, categories, SEO page titles and descriptions, etc. Product info is presented in a tabular form which makes the mass editing process fast and easy and very similar to working in a spreadsheet.
