Rewrite mode

Improve an existing Shopify catalog.
Preserve handles, SKUs, and lifecycle fields.

Upload a Shopify product CSV, choose rewrite scope, review before/after diffs, keep originals where needed, and import a controlled update file back into Shopify.

Workflow

Source data in. Reviewable Shopify output out.

  1. 01

    Upload Shopify CSV

    The parser validates a real Shopify export, rejects unsafe cell content, and groups variants and image rows into products.

  2. 02

    Choose rewrite scope

    Rewrite titles, bodies, SEO fields, or images independently so the run cost and blast radius match the goal.

  3. 03

    Review before import

    Before/after diffs show every changed field. Keep original overrides are saved per field before the final CSV is generated.

What changes

More than a field transfer.

Handles stay untouched

Rewrite mode preserves Shopify handles by default so URLs, TikTok mappings, ads, and redirects do not shift accidentally.

SKUs and inventory stay stable

Variant SKU, inventory policy, publish state, and lifecycle fields pass through unless the selected scope says otherwise.

Voice transfer is available

Paste a short sample of existing product copy to steer the rewrite toward your brand’s current language.

Image cleanup is opt-in

Image URLs can pass through verbatim or route through the cleanup pipeline when the catalog needs visual repair.

Best fit: controlled batches.

Rewrite mode is safest when run category by category or collection by collection. That makes SEO and conversion changes easier to measure than rewriting the entire catalog in one release.
