Fix a broken Shopify products export — free.
Already have a Shopify-shaped products file that won’t import cleanly? Upload it and get
back a repaired products import CSV. We fix the mechanical breakage — a stray byte-order mark or
Windows line endings, headers that drifted from Shopify’s names, prices written as $19.99,
and duplicate handles — and flag anything that needs your judgment, with a plain-language list of
exactly what we changed. Your original file is never changed.
What it does
This is for a file that’s already in Shopify’s products shape but won’t import — a real export that picked up damage along the way. It repairs the mechanical problems deterministically: it strips a stray byte-order mark, normalizes line endings, maps drifted headers back to Shopify’s canonical names (Handle, Title, Variant SKU, Variant Price, and the rest), cleans price formatting, and surfaces duplicate handles. There’s no AI guessing here — the same broken file always produces the same repaired file.
Fixed vs. flagged — nothing changes silently
Every defect shows up one of two ways. Anything we can safely repair appears under
fixed, with the before → after so you can see exactly what changed. Anything that
needs a human decision — like two rows sharing one handle but disagreeing on the title — appears
under needs you, with the reason. Formula-style values (a cell starting with
=) are kept as-is and flagged, never altered.
Repaired file, not an automatic write
This hands you a repaired import file to check and upload yourself — it never writes to your store directly. Row count in equals row count out; we repair fields, we don’t add or drop products. Your uploaded file is read in memory and never stored.
