Product CSV guide

Choose the right files

Use a UTF-8, comma-separated Shopify product export. For comparison tools, use the latest export as your baseline and your planned import as the proposed file.

Read the report

Results identify the original CSV record, the field involved and the observed value. Variant comparisons match product handles and option values. Review missing columns and ambiguous variant keys before relying on a comparison.

Review before importing

SThom reads files locally and reports changes. Shopify applies the actual import rules when you import a file in its admin.
