    I want to put a large number of products into a 40% Sale and I am having issues with bulk editing the products.

    The [Woocommerce documentation for bulk editing sale prices][1] states
    > – **Sale Price**: You can adjust the sale price with the following values –
    >
    > – Increase by Percentage (+ %)
    > – Decrease by Percentage (- %)
    > – Increase by Price (+ $)
    > – Decrease by Price (- $)
    > – A Flat Price for All the products
    >
    >For example, I’ll increase the Sale price of the filtered products by 5%.

    But when I enter into a “bulk edit” for a number of products, I get the following (screenshot)

    As you can see, this is different. So following intuition, as the products are not in a sale yet, I set it to Set to regular price decreased by (fixed amount or %): then set the 40% decrease.

    When I click update the products are still at the regular price and not put in a 40% Sale. It doesn’t even matter if I take the % mark out and leave 40 in the decrease box. The products are left as was before.

    Is there something I have missed? How do I do this with a bulk edit, rather than manually editing the sale price on each individual product? Editing each product one-by-one will take days.

    Hi there,

    The documentation you’re referring to is for one of the premium extensions: https://woocommerce.com/products/bulk-edit-products-prices-and-attributes/.

    Do you have that installed or are you trying to bulk edit prices using the core bulk editor that comes with the WooCommerce plugin?

    Hi @eagleangel. We have a guide here to help you bulk edit products.There is an option to increase/decrease the price of a product, but there is no built-in function to decrease the sale price. For that, you could use an extension such as the one shared by RK above.
