Getting started
What happens if my run fails?
Failed runs preserve the error reason and, where possible, allow retry after the underlying issue is fixed.
Quick answer
Failed runs preserve the error reason and, where possible, allow retry after the underlying issue is fixed.
What this means
Use this when you are one of the new sellers setting up a first Storeshift preview or Shopify CSV import. The goal is simple: understand what Storeshift changes, what Shopify will import, and what you should review before a real catalog update.
Plain-English rule: do the smallest safe action first, inspect the result, then scale up. That means preview before full run, sample import before full import, and review before publishing.
Before you change a live Shopify catalog, check product titles, body copy, image order, variant options, prices, handles, SKUs, SEO fields, and any warnings shown on the run page.
Simple checklist
- 01Start with the free preview before paying for a full catalog run.
- 02Compare the source product, generated title, images, variants, and SEO fields.
- 03Import a small Shopify CSV sample before updating a large catalog.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Paying for a full run before checking whether the preview matches your catalog.
- Importing the full CSV without looking at images, variants, and product handles.
- Treating warnings as noise instead of using them as a pre-import checklist.
