Stop guessing what's wrong with your CSV.
Uploading products shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle.
The Small Shop SOS CSV Checker scans your CSV file, identifies potential issues and explains everything in plain English, helping you fix problems before you import your products.
No confusing error messages. No technical jargon. Just clear explanations and practical guidance.
What Does It Do?
The CSV Checker reviews your file and looks for common issues that can cause upload errors or poor-quality product listings.
It checks for missing information, formatting problems, invalid values and other common mistakes that are easy to miss when working with large catalogues.
Instead of simply telling you something is wrong, it explains:
- What the problem is
- Why it matters
- How to fix it
Everything is written in plain English.
Supported Platforms
The CSV Checker is designed to work with a range of ecommerce platforms, including:
- Shopify
- Etsy
- Amazon
- WooCommerce
- General CSV files
More platforms will be added over time.
