Loftvex Catalog Risk Audit Data Access Explained

Last updated: June 2, 2026

Loftvex Catalog Risk Audit starts as a read-only catalog QA step.

The app scans Shopify product and variant data, shows prioritized findings, exports cleanup CSVs, and can apply supported fixes only after a merchant reviews a preview and confirms the change.

Evaluating a newer app before trusting it? Start with the public demo, sample CSV, and browser-only tools before installing. When you are ready, the first Shopify run is a free read-only audit using product access for catalog checks.

No silent product writes: supported catalog fixes are applied only after the merchant explicitly confirms the displayed change.
No surprise paid start: paid plans use Shopify-managed approval screens, and the free plan is available for the first cleanup pass.
Clear first value: run the audit, review high-severity findings, and export a CSV cleanup handoff if the output is useful.

Why Shopify shows product access

The app requests read_products to inspect product titles, handles, descriptions, images, variants, SKUs, prices, barcodes, and inventory policy settings. It requests write_products only for the narrow, previewed fix workflow described below. Those fields power missing-SKU, duplicate-SKU, missing-image, invalid-price, missing-barcode, short-description, and oversell-risk findings.

Why Shopify shows store-owner metadata

Shopify may show store-owner or contributor metadata as part of app installation, billing, support, and embedded Admin context. Loftvex uses this only for app operation, billing context, support, and compliance handling. The catalog audit itself does not need customer, order, or payment data.

How catalog edits work

Audits are read-only. A product or variant changes only after the merchant reviews the current value, sees the proposed value, and clicks to apply it.
The app requests read_products and write_products for the audit-and-fix workflow.
It does not submit feeds or change Google Merchant Center, marketplace, or sales-channel settings.
It does not sell merchant catalog data.

What gets stored

The app stores installation records, merchant-selected audit settings, audit summaries, issue history, monitoring preferences, and billing events needed to provide the app. CSV exports are generated for the merchant's cleanup workflow.

Lowest-friction way to evaluate it

Use the browser-only free SKU checker or feed readiness checker if you are not ready to grant Shopify access.
Install the app when you want the same checks against the live Shopify catalog.
Run the free audit and export the CSV only if the findings are useful.

You can start OAuth with a your-store.myshopify.com domain, a store handle, or an admin.shopify.com/store/... URL.
