Private by default. Your catalog data stays in this browser session. The export applies only safe deterministic fixes and leaves manual-review items in the findings list.

Use this Shopify CSV import fixer when a product upload fails, imports fewer products than expected, or looks risky after supplier edits. The page checks headers, handles, variants, prices, images, encoding, and file size before you send the file to Shopify.

Import blockers

Common causes this scan checks

  • The header row does not match Shopify product CSV column names exactly.
  • Variant rows share handles in a way that is hard to separate from accidental duplicates.
  • Image URLs, prices, booleans, or encoding were changed by a spreadsheet export.
  • The file is too large or contains corrupted text that Shopify cannot map cleanly.

Workflow

How to use the cleaned CSV

  1. Upload the product CSV and review the critical errors before touching optional warnings.
  2. Apply safe fixes for header spacing, handle formatting, price symbols, and clear boolean values.
  3. Review duplicate handles, missing titles, damaged text, and image URL warnings manually.
  4. Download the fixed CSV and import a small batch first if the catalog is large.

Auto-fix policy

What the export can safely change

  • Trims header whitespace and maps common aliases to Shopify column names.
  • Removes UTF-8 BOM markers and normalizes line endings for cleaner import parsing.
  • Generates blank handles from product titles when the product row is unambiguous.
  • Normalizes simple price, boolean, and handle formatting issues without changing product decisions.

FAQ

Shopify CSV questions

Can this replace Shopify's importer?

No. It prepares and validates the file before you upload it to Shopify. You still import the cleaned CSV in Shopify admin.

Does the CSV leave my browser?

The tool is designed for local browser-side processing, so merchants can inspect catalog issues without sending product CSV data to a server.

Will it fix every supplier CSV automatically?

It can normalize common structure issues, but product decisions like missing images, damaged text, or incorrect variant logic still need merchant review.
