Scenario
A product spreadsheet can contain good product data but still use the wrong template for Shopify. Supplier files, marketplace exports, ERP reports, and manual Excel sheets often use column names that Shopify does not recognize. Product names, colors, sizes, prices, inventory, and image links may all be present, but they need to be mapped into Shopify’s product CSV format before import.
This page focuses on template-level repair. It helps users understand whether the problem is not the products themselves, but the structure of the file: column headers, missing fields, product grouping, variant option columns, price fields, and image URL placement. That distinction matters because a file can fail even when the underlying product data is useful.
Use this entry when the spreadsheet looks close to a product catalog but not close enough to Shopify’s expected CSV. The output should be easier to validate, review, and import, while keeping the original supplier data available for comparison.
