Common Target Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them

Missing Transaction Type

The 'Type' column identifying transaction type is missing

File without 'Type' column
Column with: charge, refund, adjustment, payout

Export from Shopify Payments → Payouts → Transactions

Ensure you're exporting the payout transactions view

Unknown Transaction Type

2025-01-15

Payout date links transactions to bank deposits

Re-export ensuring all columns are included

Why Validate Payout Data?

Bank Reconciliation Accuracy

Payout data is critical for bank reconciliation. Missing Transaction Date or Amount columns means you can't match deposits to your bank statement accurately.

What This Tool Checks

We validate your Shopify Payments export for accuracy: - Required columns present (Transaction Date, Type, Amount) - Date formats are parseable - Currency amounts valid for Fee and Net calculations

How People Use Shopify Payouts

Shopify's payout export occasionally drops the 'Type' column value for manual adjustments, which breaks our downstream accounting pipeline. The validator catches these blanks instantly — we fix them in the CSV before the data ever reaches QuickBooks.

We had a payout file where the Fee column showed zero for an entire batch of transactions, but the Net column was already reduced. The validator flagged the fee-to-net mismatch on 47 rows so we could correct the fees before bank reconciliation went sideways.

E-commerce Bookkeeper · reconciles $180K monthly across 2 stores

Our biggest headache was the Available On date column using inconsistent date formats — some rows had MM/DD/YYYY while others used YYYY-MM-DD within the same file. The validator caught every format inconsistency so we could standardize before importing into our reconciliation system.
