Shopify Product CSV Import Repair
Catch CSV risks before they break your catalog.
I review Shopify product CSV files for duplicate SKUs, missing headers, variant row problems, metafield risks, and row count surprises before upload.
Built for the import problems merchants actually hit.
The service is focused on product CSV updates, supplier feeds, variant rows, pricing changes, inventory updates, tags, images, and metafield columns.
Checks whether core Shopify fields like Handle and Title are present before the file reaches the importer.
Flags repeated handles, missing option values, and rows that may be interpreted as variants.
Finds Variant SKU values that appear on multiple rows so you can confirm whether the duplication is intentional.
Highlights handles and product rows that deserve review before updating existing catalog data.
Flags prices that are not simple numeric values and may fail or import incorrectly.
Detects custom/metafield columns and marks them for Shopify support and namespace/key review.
A report you can review before upload.
The sample preflight run found 12 issues across 6 rows and separated them into errors, warnings, and informational review items.
| Severity | Row | Column | Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Error | 5 | Handle | Handle is blank. Shopify needs a stable handle to group product rows. |
| Error | 4 | Title | First row for this product handle has a blank Title. |
| Warning | - | Variant SKU | Variant SKU appears on multiple rows. Confirm whether this is intentional. |
| Info | - | Metafield | Custom-field column detected. Confirm import support and namespace/key format. |
Simple workflow. No catalog access required.
You can start with one exported or supplier-provided CSV. I work on a copy and return files you can inspect before using.
Share the product CSV and the Shopify import error or update goal if you have one.
I check headers, handles, SKUs, variant rows, pricing fields, and risky custom columns.
Whitespace and obvious structure issues are cleaned while risky business decisions stay flagged.
You receive a cleaned copy, issue report, and notes on anything that still needs confirmation.
Starter scope for one product CSV.
Best for merchants who are about to update products, variants, prices, inventory, tags, or supplier feeds and want a second pass before import.
- Input One Shopify product CSV, up to 1,000 rows for the starter package.
- Output Cleaned CSV copy where possible, plus preflight report and summary.
- Timeline Usually 24-48 hours after receiving the file and import goal.
- Boundary I do not upload to your Shopify admin unless we explicitly agree on access and scope.
- Price test Starter package target: $35-$75 depending on row count and repair complexity.
Start with one risky CSV.
Send a product CSV, the import error if you have one, and the fields you are trying to update. I will return a cleaned copy and a report you can review before upload.
