Why Validate Before Converting?

What This Tool Checks
Common Target Import Errors
Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them
Missing Order Name Column
The 'Name' column (order number like #1001) is required but not found
File exported without 'Name' column
Re-export with all columns selected
Ensure you export orders with the 'Name' column included
Go to Shopify Admin → Orders → Export and select all columns
Invalid Order Date
The 'Created at' column contains unparseable date values
01/15/25 (ambiguous format)
2025-01-15T10:30:00-05:00 (ISO format)
Shopify exports dates in ISO 8601 format; don't modify them in Excel
Re-export from Shopify without opening in Excel first
Empty Total Value
Required 'Total' column has empty or missing values
(blank cell in Total column)
45.99
Each order row should have a Total value from Shopify
Check if the row is a continuation line item (normal) or data corruption
Invalid Currency Value
Currency columns (Total, Subtotal, Shipping) contain non-numeric values
N/A or #REF!
25.00
Currency values must be numeric with optional decimal
Check for Excel formula errors or manually corrupted cells
Multi-Row Order Format
Same order number appears multiple times (this is often normal)
#1001 appears in 3 rows
Each row = one line item in the order
Shopify exports one row per line item, not per order
This is expected behavior for orders with multiple products
