A local-first Python tool that audits your Shopify catalog exports before publishing new products or syndicating to Google Shopping. It identifies duplicate SKUs, missing UPC/EAN barcodes, empty shipping weights, and discount pricing errors, quarantining flawed listings into an exception file with exact line numbers.
Shopify standard product export CSV (exported from Shopify Admin).
Local Python script audits every variant against 12 catalog integrity checks offline.
clean_shopify_catalog.csv, catalog_exceptions.csv, and audit_scorecard.json.
Setup scope covers installation on customer-controlled infrastructure, configuration of authorised integrations, functional testing and handover.
Hosting, third-party charges and ongoing support are excluded unless separately agreed. Free workflows must never run on Sanocea-hosted infrastructure.
Catalog exports from Shopify often hide duplicate SKUs, inverted compare-at discounts (where sale price > regular price), and missing barcodes that get rejected by Google Merchant Center.
Google Shopping suspends merchant feeds with invalid GTINs or missing weights, while inverted discounts confuse buyers and violate advertising compliance standards.
Scans your Shopify CSV export, runs 12 catalogue validation rules offline, and separates clean products from defective listings.
You fix catalog errors before ad campaigns launch, ensuring 100% Google Merchant Center approval and error-free fulfillment.

For technical teams or developers assisting your business, below is the visual execution architecture and automated verification breakdown:
The script parses standard Shopify product export CSVs, detects duplicate SKUs, missing identifiers, zero prices on active items, inverted compare-at pricing, missing weights on shippable variants, and malformed barcodes. Zero external network calls are made.
Detects duplicate SKUs across variants and validates SKU regex naming standards
Flags accidental ₹0 listings on active products and compare-at prices lower than selling price
Validates GTIN/UPC barcode presence and numeric length (UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF-14)

No. The engine operates 100% offline on standard Shopify product export CSV files. Your sensitive store credentials and customer data remain private on your computer with zero external data transmission.
Yes. Pass the --sku-pattern flag (e.g., --sku-pattern "^[A-Z]{3,4}-[A-Z0-9]+-[0-9]{3,}
quot;) to audit adherence to your internal brand or warehouse SKU naming standards.It validates that every product variant includes a numeric GTIN / UPC barcode of standard length (8, 12, 13, or 14 digits) and flags missing or malformed barcodes that would cause Google Merchant Center disapprovals.
Yes. Pass the --fail-on-critical flag to exit with status code 2 whenever critical errors (such as ₹0 prices, duplicate SKUs, or compare-at anomalies) are detected, preventing flawed catalogs from being deployed.
How corrupted CSV exports introduce duplicate product identifiers, why inverted compare-at pricing confuses buyers, and how pre-syndication audits protect Google Shopping feeds.
