Scan CSV

Blank Image Alt Text cells create a predictable metadata repair batch in Shopify CSV imports. CommerceFix previews missing alt text rows and can generate paid repair files.

What this means

Shopify product CSV files can include image alt text in the Image Alt Text column. Large supplier files often leave this column empty.

Why it matters before upload

Image alt text gaps are easy to miss before import and slow to clean product by product later. A preflight scan turns them into a visible repair batch.
