BigCommerce Products Validation Questions

What fields are required?

Required: product_id, product_name, price. Recommended: sku (for matching), stock_level (for inventory), product_type (for categorization). The validator flags missing required fields.

Why can't I have $ in prices?

Most import systems expect numeric values only. Currency symbols like $ or £ cause import failures. Use numeric values: 49.99 not $49.99.

Can this fix my file?

No, this only validates. It shows you what's wrong. You fix the data in BigCommerce admin or edit the CSV, then re-export and re-validate.
