How to Debug Shopify Import Errors
If Shopify import fails, use this sequence to isolate the issue quickly.
Debug flow
- Check required fields first (especially Title and key variant fields).
- Normalize handles and remove duplicates.
- Convert price fields to strict numeric decimals.
- Standardize booleans (TRUE/FALSE) and inventory quantities.
- Retry with a small sample import and inspect error rows.
When to stop auto-fixing
Some business-specific fields should be reviewed manually. If a value is ambiguous, keep it visible as a warning and confirm with your catalog owner before bulk import.
