What this checker catches
| Issue | Why it matters | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Missing SKUs | Variants without SKUs are harder to track across fulfillment, reports, and CSV cleanup. | Add stable SKU values before product data leaves Shopify. |
| Duplicate SKUs | Two variants sharing one SKU can confuse bulk edits and inventory matching. | Resolve repeated SKU values before assigning cleanup work. |
| Barcode gaps | Some channels and retail workflows expect barcode or GTIN identifiers. | Add barcode data where feeds, marketplaces, or retail workflows require it. |
Best moments to run it
- Before exporting products for a feed or marketplace launch.
- Before a warehouse, agency, or VA asks for a product cleanup spreadsheet.
- Before a recurring QA pass on a catalog that changes every week.
When the app is worth installing
- The free checker finds repeated SKU, barcode, price, image, or description issues.
- You want to scan the live Shopify catalog instead of exporting and pasting CSV rows.
- You need CSV cleanup handoff, audit history, monitoring, or higher audit volume for recurring work.
