Feed Prep Workbench
Use Feed Prep Workbench before uploading product data to a store, marketplace, feed, or teammate. It checks generic product CSV and image-handoff readiness without claiming Shopify, marketplace, feed, merchant-center, or destination acceptance.

Feed readiness signals
Use these checks before export or upload. Ready means the product data is easier to review against the destination rules, not that any platform will accept it.
Needs review
Needs header cleanup
Missing required fields, inconsistent headers, empty title/handle cells, or malformed CSV rows should be fixed before export.
Needs review
Needs variant review
Duplicate handles, duplicate SKUs, option columns, and grouped variants need human review against the destination import rules.
Needs review

Validate product structure
Check handles, titles, SKUs, prices, image fields, status values, variant grouping, and generic feed-readiness signals before import.
Clean CSV shape
Normalize headers, remove empty columns, dedupe rows, split or merge files, and prepare a cleaner import handoff.
Export review workbooks
Turn cleaned CSV or JSON into spreadsheet-ready XLSX outputs and inspect schema-like field expectations before handoff.

Check product images, exported files, ZIP packages, manifests, and checksums before handing product data to another system or teammate.
