One bad field can follow export after export.

A stale price, product code, or stock value can keep reappearing when each new file inherits the same source problem. Catalog Scanner checks a representative CSV, JSON, XML, or text sample and flags the records carrying missing, invalid, conflicting, or inferred product facts into your storefront, marketplaces, existing sales channels, AI search tools, or shopping-agent experiences.

Representative sample

The check is read-only. Every inferred value stays clearly labelled, and broader readiness depends on evidence outside the submitted file.

Catalog Scanner

Upload a product file sample. See what needs attention.

Missing, invalid, duplicate, or inferred records can send unreliable product facts into every channel that reuses the file, making products harder for shopping systems to identify and compare. Catalog Scanner reads the file, cleans product details into one consistent format, checks for missing, invalid, duplicate, or inferred facts, and flags submitted descriptions, categories, attributes, grouping, and mapping inputs that need review. It clearly labels any value inferred rather than supplied directly. It recognizes Shopify product CSV, Google Merchant Center RSS/XML, Stripe product data, and general catalog files. It does not change your original file, connect to platform accounts, write unsupported product claims, promise acceptance, or assess the store pages.
