How to use Shopify Product CSV Preflight Checker

Use this before importing a product CSV into Shopify. The report points to row numbers and fields that are likely to fail or create messy products.

What this tool does

Check a Shopify product CSV for missing headers, bad handles, duplicate SKUs, prices, status, and image URLs.

Input: Paste a Shopify product CSV with Handle, Title, Variant SKU, price, inventory, image, and status columns
Output: Download a row-level issue report

Step-by-step usage guide

1Paste the product CSV.
2Run the preflight check.
3Download the report and fix high-risk rows first.

Common errors and fixes

Invalid or blank Handle values

Shopify uses Handle to group product rows, so blanks, spaces, uppercase variants, and special characters can split or reject products.

Use lowercase handles with hyphens, keep the same handle for all variant rows of one product, and rerun the checker before import.

Duplicate variant SKUs are reported

Two product rows may share the same Variant SKU because of a copy-paste mistake or a missing variant option.

Fix accidental repeats in the source CSV and only keep duplicate SKUs when your Shopify workflow intentionally allows them.

Price, status, or image URL warnings appear

Shopify imports expect clean numeric prices, valid product statuses, and image URLs that can be fetched during import.

Rewrite prices as plain numbers, use accepted status values, and test image URLs in a browser before uploading.

FAQ

What does the report include?

The report lists header, handle, SKU, price, inventory quantity, status and image URL issues by row.

What should I fix first?

Start with missing headers, blank handles, duplicate SKUs and invalid prices, then review image URL and status warnings.
