A small pause in your workflow

Three steps. A clearer next move.

Review the report, then make your own import decision.

  1. Export a current baseline.

    Start with a recent Shopify native product CSV from the same store as your proposed changes.

  2. Compare the proposed file.

    Match your overwrite setting. Review supported changes, blank values, and variant identity risks.

  3. Investigate, then decide.

    Keep a report for your review. Products present only in the baseline are not predicted deletions.
