FAQ

Everything about bulk editing Shopify collections and tags with MassCat.

1. What is MassCat and what does it do?

MassCat is a Shopify app that changes collections and tags in bulk from a simple list. Paste SKUs or barcodes, or select products with filters, then create a collection, add products to or remove them from collections, replace a collection’s content, or add and remove tags. No CSV needed.

2. Which types of collections are supported by MassCat?

MassCat edits the products you pick in a collection: it adds them, removes them or replaces them. If a collection also uses rules (automated conditions), those rules are left untouched. MassCat only changes the products it lists in the review before you apply.

3. What filters can I use to select products?

You can paste a list of SKUs or barcodes, or build a filter with ALL / ANY logic on:
  • Inventory and price (including compare-at price)
  • Tag, vendor, product type and category
  • Title, SKU and barcode patterns, variant title and weight
  • Created / updated dates and collections
  • Your product and variant metafields

4. Can I tag products with MassCat?

Yes. Add or remove tags in bulk on any selection. MassCat suggests the tags already used in your store, and only writes real changes.

5. Can I update multiple collections at once?

Yes. Select several collections in the same action, for example “Homepage” and “Black Friday” together.

6. Do I need to use a CSV file with MassCat?

No. Copy and paste a column straight from Excel, Google Sheets, a supplier email or a PDF. Duplicates are ignored and unknown references are flagged before anything changes.

7. Can I work on variants instead of whole products?

Yes. When your list contains variant SKUs or barcodes, you choose: add whole products (all their variants), or only the variants in your list.

8. What subscription plans are available?

  • Free – free: 50 products, for good
  • Starter – $9.99/month or $99/year: 1,000 products / 30 days
  • Pro – $12.99/month or $129/year: 5,000 products / 30 days
  • Unlimited – $14.99/month or $149/year: No limit
Every plan includes every feature. Paid plans come with a 3-day free trial. Existing subscriptions keep their price and unlimited access. See pricing.

9. Can I undo a change?

Yes. Every change is listed in your activity history. Undo shows you a preview first, and only reverts what MassCat changed. Products you edited since are left alone.

10. How do I install MassCat?

You can install it directly from the Shopify App Store: Install MassCat on Shopify.

11. How can I cancel or change my subscription?

You manage your subscription from the app; billing goes through Shopify. Any cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.

12. How can I contact support?
