# store bulk execute

Execute bulk operations on a store.

Executes an Admin API GraphQL query or mutation on the specified store as a bulk operation, using previously stored app authentication.

Run `shopify store auth` first to create stored auth for the store.

Bulk operations let you process large amounts of data asynchronously. Learn more about [bulk query operations](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/bulk-operations/queries) and [bulk mutation operations](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/bulk-operations/imports).

Mutations are disabled by default. Re-run with `--allow-mutations` if you intend to modify store data.

Use `shopify store bulk status` to check the status of your bulk operations.
