Why Validate Before Converting?

Catch Issues Early

Bad data causes conversion failures and import errors. Missing columns, wrong date formats, or invalid values can waste hours troubleshooting QuickBooks import rejections. Validating first identifies exactly which rows have problems before you process.

What This Tool Checks

We validate your Shopify export against the expected schema: - Required columns present (Name, Created at, Total, Billing Name, etc.) - Date formats parseable - Currency values valid - No empty required fields You get a detailed error report with row numbers to fix issues at the source.

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
