MerchGrid scans your Shopify catalog and shows you the product data, pricing, and merchandising problems that may be costing you sales. Every finding explains what's wrong, why it matters, and links straight to the product in your Shopify admin so you can review and fix it yourself. Export the full report as CSV anytime.
- Scan your full catalog for 8 different product quality gaps in one pass.
- Export every flagged product as a CSV and fix at your convenience.
- Read-only by design — CatalogCheck never edits or changes your products.
