Fix a broken Shopify products export — free.

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.
