Pre-import review · Original demonstration · 7 October 2026
Fictional product data. This demonstrates a report format; it is not a customer order, an import-ready file, or a full Shopify schema validation.
Checks agreed for this example: unique SKU, plain decimal prices, and changes to vendor against the prior export. Repeated product handles may be valid variant rows.
| row | sku | handle | title | price | vendor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | MUG-001 | stone-mug | Stoneware mug | 12.00 | Demo Studio |
| 3 | MUG-001 | stone-mug | Stoneware mug | 12.00 | Demo Studio |
| 4 | BOWL-002 | blue-bowl | Blue bowl | twelve | |
| 5 | PLATE-003 | small-plate | Small plate | 8.50 | Demo Studio |
| Row | Severity | Field | Evidence | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | review | sku | SKU also occurs on row 2; determine duplicate versus intentional reuse. | Confirm intended variant identity; do not delete automatically. |
| 4 | error | price | Not a plain non-negative decimal price: 'twelve' | Obtain the correct price from the source; do not infer it. |
| 4 | review | vendor | Previously populated vendor is now blank. | Confirm intent; included blank fields can overwrite saved values during an update. |
Resolve the duplicate SKU, confirm the actual bowl price and decide whether its vendor should be cleared. The previous bowl vendor was Demo Studio. Preserve an untouched export and inspect the import preview. No rows were deleted, missing values invented, or live store data modified.
Shopify official import guidance explains how included blank fields can overwrite stored data.
