Magento2: Fastest Way to Import / Update Product Prices in Bulk

Overview

As you know our Magento1 version of the script “Updating product prices in Magento in an easier & faster way” was a massive hit. And we are back with a similar script for Magento 2 which helps you to update the product prices in bulk – probably the easiest and fastest way possible.

Let’s take a look at the standalone PHP script & sample CSV file below:

How to run the script?

1. Prepare the Script

Copy/Paste the script from above to the file: [magento2-root]/pub/m2-import-prices-index.php

2. Prepare the CSV Data

Download the sample CSV file as “prices.csv” and update values for SKU & Price columns. Then upload the CSV file to the [magento2-root]/var/import/ directory.

3. Run the Script

You can run script either from browser or from CLI.

3.1 Executing the price bulk update from Browser
Go to the browser and hit the URL:
http://[magento2-base-url]/m2-import-prices-index.php

Which will out as below on successful operation:

Note: If you are using Nginx web server and want to change the script filename other than *-index.php, you may need to edit the nginx.conf.sample file of Magento2 as

# PHP entry point for main application
location ~ (index|get|static|report|404|503|AddYourNewFileNameHere)\.php$ {

And of course need to reload the nginx configuration thereafter:

# Ubuntu
sudo service nginx reload

3.2 Executing the price bulk update script from CLI
Simply run the following command(s) from the Console of your server:

cd /path/to/magento2-root
php -f pub/m2-import-prices-index.php

Which will output as:

Note: This is recommended approach if you want to bulk update CSV data is big.
