Multiple Tasks
Our app supports multiple concurrent edit and rollback tasks; however, we strongly recommend scheduling them sequentially for the best performance.
Avoid Pricing Conflicts
Running multiple tasks simultaneously may cause confusion if multiple edits affect the same product.
Shopify API Limitations
Shopify's API has constraints that impact update speed.
Update Speed
On average, the app updates 2 items per second, but the actual speed varies based on the number of products and your Shopify API rate limit. Running multiple tasks in parallel significantly slows down the update speed due to API restrictions. This may give the impression that tasks are stuck.
Recommended Approach
For better efficiency, schedule price edits and rollbacks in batches, one after another.
Task Management
The app automatically pauses new tasks if three tasks are already running. You can later review and restart paused tasks as needed.
Tips
- Try running a test edit on a single product or category before bulk-editing your entire catalog.
- Use the rollback feature inside the Bolt App dashboard to safely reverse edits in one click.
- Schedule major pricing or catalog updates during off-peak hours to avoid shopper confusion.
Important Notes
- Bolt runs strictly in the background and will never impact storefront loading times or slow down checkout.
- Bulk edit history is stored for 6 months, and exact product logs are cleaned up after 2 months.

Troubleshooting
Is your bulk task updating too slowly? Shopify restricts API requests (approx. 2 updates per second). Running multiple bulk edits at the same time distributes bandwidth and causes slow execution times. We strongly recommend running tasks sequentially.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel or pause an ongoing edit task? Yes. Active tasks can be paused or stopped in real-time directly from the dashboard.
What happens if I uninstall the app? Uninstallation cancels all running or scheduled tasks. Completed edits remain on Shopify but cannot be rolled back via the app once uninstalled.
