Bulk item update is done when more number of items or categories are to be updated with respect to market in your business/store. For example; if there are 500 items to be entered, it is difficult to enter all the items one by one. In such cases, you can use Bulk Item migration to add multiple numbers of items/records at once.

Benefits:

If there are any changes coming in the market with respect to tax, you don't have to stress out that it will take more time. Instead, you can just change it quickly using bulk updates. You can invest this time in developing your business, building customer relationships, and improving business performance. Also, you can do Bulk importing for Items, Modifiers, Stock, Customers, and Suppliers
