Scan CSV

Variant rows can fail when Option1 Name and Option1 Value are incomplete or inconsistent. CommerceFix previews variant risks for free and generates repair files after payment.

What this means

Shopify variants depend on consistent option columns. Empty option names or values can break expected product variants.

Example broken CSV

Handle,Title,Option1 Name,Option1 Value
linen-shirt,Linen Shirt,Size,
linen-shirt,Linen Shirt,,M

Why it matters before upload

Bad option pairs can create missing variants, wrong default titles, or manual product cleanup.
