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

Frequently Asked Questions

Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere. There's no account to hack, no database storing your files, and no API connections to your bank or accounting software. You upload, convert, download, and we forget it immediately.

No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.

You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.

Required columns include: Name (order number), Created at (order date), Total, Subtotal, Billing Name, Lineitem name, Lineitem quantity, and Lineitem price.

Shopify exports one row per line item. An order with 3 products will have 3 rows. This is normal and the validator understands this format.

The validator accepts ISO 8601 dates (2025-01-15T10:30:00-05:00) which is Shopify's default export format.

First transactions are free to preview. Full conversions use credits based on transaction count.

Your file is processed entirely in your browser. No data is uploaded to our servers.

Your file isn't using UTF-8 encoding. Open it in a text editor and save with UTF-8 encoding, or open in Excel and select UTF-8 from the Text Import Wizard.

No, individual CSV files must be under 15 MB. Split large files into smaller chunks and upload them separately.

Use Excel's 'Remove Duplicates' feature on your order ID column, or use online data cleaning tools to eliminate redundant entries.

Shopify requires ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm (e.g., 2024-01-28T16:15:47-05:00).

Check that headers match Shopify's template exactly, file uses UTF-8 encoding, and quotation marks are straight (not curly).
