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

This inspector scans a plain Shopify order export for line item property, note attribute, and additional-detail columns. It parses semicolon key/value fields into a review worksheet so merchants can tell whether a custom checkbox or personalization field is item-level or order-level.

Import blockers

Common causes this scan checks

  • A custom checkbox appears in cart data but not where the merchant expects in the order CSV.
  • Line item properties, note attributes, and additional details are easy to confuse.
  • The useful export column is far to the right in a plain CSV.
  • Order-level custom fields need a sanitized worksheet before accountant or operations review.

Workflow

How to use the cleaned CSV

  1. Export a plain order CSV from Shopify and upload it locally.
  2. Review whether custom fields appear under line item properties, note attributes, or additional details.
  3. Export the extracted custom-field worksheet for spot checking.
  4. If the field is missing, verify the theme form input before changing export tooling.

Auto-fix policy

What the export can safely change

  • Detects likely custom-field export columns.
  • Parses semicolon and line-separated key/value fields.
  • Exports order, line item, property, and value columns for review.
  • Keeps order data in the browser and avoids storing customer details.

FAQ

Shopify CSV questions

Can this recover a field that was never saved to the order?

No. It can show where fields appear in the export, but missing fields still need cart, product form, or checkout setup review.

Should my field be a line item property or note attribute?

Product-specific values usually belong to line item properties. Order-level values may appear as note attributes or additional details.

Does this upload customer orders?

No. The CSV is parsed locally in the browser session.
