Turn Off "Requires Shipping" for Non-Physical Add-On Variants
Bulk-uncheck the physical-product/shipping flag on specific service or digital add-on variants so they stop triggering shipping rates and fulfillment holds.
📋 Prompt
Turn off “Requires shipping” (the “this is a physical product” setting) for these specific variants: [VARIANT_LIST, e.g. “the Extended Warranty variant on every product in the Electronics collection” or exact SKUs like “engraving service and installation service variants store-wide”]. These are service or non-physical add-ons bundled alongside physical products, and leaving shipping required on them is causing incorrect shipping rates and fulfillment holds. For each targeted variant: Show me its current “requires shipping” status, price, and inventory tracking setting before changing anything. Skip and flag any variant where “requires shipping” is already off – no need to touch it. Turn off “requires shipping” only. Do not change price, compare-at price, inventory tracking, tax status, or SKU/barcode on any variant. If a flagged variant’s title doesn’t clearly read as a service or non-physical item (e.g. it looks like a normal stocked product), stop and ask me to confirm before changing it – don’t assume. Show me the full list of affected variants before applying anything. After I confirm, apply the change and report: how many variants were updated, how many were skipped because they were already correct, and any flagged for manual confirmation with the reason why.
