After a check, repair the flagged rows in the source file. The report keeps the row number, field, reason, and suggested action together so you can correct the export before rerunning it.

What to check before an Amazon flat-file upload

This checker looks for missing SKU, price, and update-action columns; blank or duplicate SKUs; invalid prices, quantities, actions, and image URLs; and parent-child variation risks.

Prepare the file, run the check, repair the source rows, then run it again before uploading in Seller Central. This tool does not connect to your seller account, upload the file, or replace Amazon's final category and account validation.

For large files, use Chrome or Edge on desktop and keep this tab open while the worker runs. If the file is above 500MB or the browser warns about memory, use Split CSV first.

How to use this tool3 steps

Amazon flat-file checks and report limits

  1. Drop a CSV or tab-delimited Amazon template export, or paste the flat file content copied from your spreadsheet.
  2. Run the preflight check to scan SKUs, prices, quantity values, update actions, image URLs, and variation fields. Large CSV files stream through a local worker instead of being uploaded.
  3. Download the issue report and fix high-risk rows before uploading the file in Seller Central.

FAQ

Which files can I paste?

Paste CSV or tab-delimited Amazon inventory template data copied from a spreadsheet, including the header row.

Can it handle large Amazon flat files?

Large CSV, TSV, and TXT files run locally through a Web Worker with chunked reads and a two-pass rule engine. No account or upload is required.

What should I fix first?

Start with missing SKU columns, blank SKUs, duplicate SKUs, invalid prices, invalid quantities, and variation parent-child errors.
