# Update many stores at once

> Select stores on the Stores page to edit their hours, add tags, set them active or inactive, create store pages, sync with Google, or delete them.

Bulk actions let you change many stores in one go, instead of opening each one.

## Select stores

1. Go to **Stores**.
2. Use [search, tabs, and filters](https://help.shoppyconnect.com/store-locator/managing-stores/find-and-filter-stores.md) to narrow the list, for example to one state or tag.
3. Tick the stores you want to change. To select every store on the page, tick the box in the header.

The bulk actions appear above the list. If they don't all fit, the rest are under **More actions**.

![The Stores page with three stores selected, showing Bulk edit hours, Create store pages, Connect with Google, Sync with Google, Set as active, Set as inactive, Add tags, and Delete stores](https://help.shoppyconnect.com/_astro/01-bulk-actions.g5LaWEo0_Z223ydN.webp)

You can only select stores on the current page. To select more at once, show more stores per page at the bottom of the list.

## Actions

| Action                  | What it does                                                                                                                      |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Bulk edit hours**     | Gives the selected stores the same trading hours and special dates, and optionally the same sort order.                           |
| **Create store pages**  | Creates a store page on your online store for each selected store. Stores that already have a page are skipped.                   |
| **Connect with Google** | Links the selected stores to your Google Business Profile. Only shown once you've connected Google. Up to 50 stores at a time.    |
| **Sync with Google**    | Sends the selected stores' trading hours and special dates to Google. The stores must be linked first. Up to 50 stores at a time. |
| **Set as active**       | Shows the selected stores on your store locator.                                                                                  |
| **Set as inactive**     | Hides the selected stores from your store locator. They're kept, so you can turn them back on.                                    |
| **Add tags**            | Adds tags to the selected stores.                                                                                                 |
| **Delete stores**       | Deletes the selected stores.                                                                                                      |

### Bulk edit hours

The weekly hours you set replace each selected store's current hours. See [Update hours for many stores](https://help.shoppyconnect.com/store-locator/managing-stores/trading-hours-and-special-dates.md#update-hours-for-many-stores) for the steps.

### Add tags

1. Click **Add tags**.
2. Type a new tag and press **Enter**, or click tags you already use under **Your tags**.
3. Click **Add tags**.

Tags are added to each store's existing tags. Nothing is removed. To remove a tag, edit the store.

### Delete stores

1. Click **Delete stores**.
2. Confirm.

Deleting can't be undone. The stores' pages on your online store aren't deleted. If you might need the stores again, use **Set as inactive** instead, or export them to CSV first.
