# Update a Shopify product

Automatically update a Shopify product on admin.shopify.com. Changes an existing product in the signed-in Shopify store, found by its id, admin link or handle: its title, description, vendor, type, status, or tags (replace them all, or add and remove individual tags). Fields already at the requested value are left alone, and the product is read back afterwards to confirm what changed. A rehearsal mode shows the current and new values without changing anything. Use admin.shopify.com/update_product_price for prices.
