Working with HTML

Descriptions are stored as HTML. The value you type is inserted as-is, so you can include HTML tags:

• Add text at end with <p>Free shipping on orders over $50.</p> appends a new paragraph.

• Find and replace works on the HTML source. To replace text that Shopify has wrapped in tags, match the exact text between the tags, for example find Soft 100% cotton and replace with Soft organic cotton.

The Find value and Replace value boxes are multi-line so you can paste longer snippets.

Tips

• Use Replace entire text carefully. It overwrites the complete description of every matching product.

• Dynamic variables work in all three inputs, for example <p>Made by {{ product.vendor }}.</p>.

• Click the eye icon in the preview or in Product changes to compare the original and updated descriptions side by side.

• Reverting the task restores the original description of each product.
