Know what your CSV will change.
Start with the import checklist, then work through the specific issues in your supplier file. These guides cover our new, simple-product workflow.
Before you import: the checklist
Review mapping, excluded columns, identifiers and draft status before testing a small import.
Keep leading zeros in CSV SKUs and barcodes
Understand why spreadsheet apps remove leading zeros, preserve identifiers as text and check your supplier CSV before importing new products.
Fix ambiguous prices in a supplier CSV
Review decimal commas, currency symbols and thousands separators before preparing a Shopify CSV. Choose intended prices without guessing.
Understand repeated handles in a Shopify CSV
Distinguish legitimate product grouping from accidental duplicate handles before preparing new simple products for Shopify.
A small sample to practice with
The sample contains two fictional supplier records. It is an input for the workspace, not a full Shopify import template. Replace the example products before using real data.
