See every featureCSVwise cleans messy product CSVs before you import them into Shopify. Upload a file and it flags the problems that break imports: malformed prices, invalid weights, duplicate handles, inconsistent tags, and formatting errors, then fixes them automatically. Cleaning runs in your browser. Only your column names and up to 5 sample rows are sent to an AI provider for the column-mapping step.
CSV files from suppliers rarely match your store's expected format, forcing merchants to reformat spreadsheets manually before importing. ImportIQ reads your file and uses AI to detect column meanings, then maps them to standard product fields, including title, SKU, vendor, and inventory. Review and adjust the mapping before confirming. Imports run in the background so you can continue working.
