Scan CSV

CSV variant updates can be risky when handles and option fields do not match the intended product grouping. CommerceFix flags variant risks before upload.

What this means

Duplicate handles are normal for variants, but unsafe when option fields are missing, inconsistent, or copied from a supplier file.

Example broken CSV

Handle,Title,Option1 Name,Option1 Value
water-bottle,Water Bottle,Color,Black
water-bottle,Water Bottle,,White

Why it matters before upload

Unsafe variant rows can create missing options, wrong grouping, or manual cleanup in the Shopify admin after import.
