Shopify’s format, handled
Handle, title, option names and values, SKU and price are written in the columns Shopify expects, one row per variant.
Shopify CSV export
Shopify product CSV export, right the first time.
Shopify’s product CSV has dozens of columns and strict rules. VariantFlow fills them in correctly and checks every row before you download.
Validated before download
Export stays locked until duplicate SKUs, missing prices and empty options are fixed, so your import does not fail halfway.
You stay in control
VariantFlow never touches your store. You import the file in your Shopify admin when you are ready.
How it works
From idea to import in three steps
- 1
Build your variants
Add options, a SKU pattern and prices.
- 2
Fix what validation finds
Each issue is listed in plain language, with the row highlighted.
- 3
Import in Shopify
In your Shopify admin, open Products, choose Import and upload the file.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will the file work with Shopify’s importer?
Yes. The export follows Shopify’s product CSV format, with one row per variant grouped under the same handle.
Does importing overwrite my existing products?
Only if you choose to. During import, Shopify lets you decide whether to overwrite products that have the same handle.
Is there a limit?
The Free plan exports up to 50 variants per file. Pro and Scale remove the limit.

- Variant generator List your options once — sizes, colors, materials. VariantFlow builds every combination as a clean table you can review, edit and export. No formulas, no copy-paste.
- SKU generator Write a pattern once. VariantFlow fills in each variant’s own values and gives you clean, unique SKUs — and tells you if two ever collide.
- WooCommerce CSV Variable products in WooCommerce need a parent row and a row per variation, linked correctly. VariantFlow writes that structure for you.
- Pricing rules Stop typing the same price a hundred times. Set a base price, add a few adjustments, and every variant is priced correctly.
- Catalog validation A failed import costs an afternoon. VariantFlow checks your catalog as you build it and will not export a file that is not ready.
- Supplier import Supplier files are never in the format you need. Upload one and VariantFlow works out which column is which, tidies the values and builds your variants.
Your next catalog is five minutes away.
