The Data Consistency module scans all store products and groups them by issue type. Each group shows a counter and offers specific actions to fix it without exporting any file.
First step:
Click the "Analyse Products" button to start the scan. Results appear in the issue cards once the analysis is complete.
1) Summary panel
After the analysis, eight issue cards appear. Each one shows the number of affected products and a "View & Manage" button that expands the detailed table.
| Card | What it detects |
|---|
| No image | Products without a main image |
| Duplicate SKUs | Groups of products sharing the same SKU |
| No title or description | Products with empty title or description |
| No stock | Products with total inventory equal to 0 |
| No product type | Empty product_type field |
| No Shopify category | No Shopify taxonomy/product category assigned |
| Inactive | Products in draft or archived status (not active) |
| Unpublished | Active products with empty published_at |
No image
Products with no image assigned in Shopify.
Available actions
- Select all or a subset
- Export a CSV list to add images externally
- Re-import the corrected file via the Import module
- Delete selected products
Tip: products without images hurt conversion rates and are usually rejected by Google Shopping.
Duplicate SKUs
Shows groups of products sharing the same SKU. Each group displays the shared SKU and the involved products.
Available actions
- "Keep" selector: choose whether to keep the oldest (First) or the most recent (Last) product in each group.
- "Delete duplicates" button: automatically deletes the non-kept products across all groups.
Recommendation:
Duplicate SKUs cause conflicts in future imports and in external inventory management systems.
No title or description
Products with an empty Title or Description field.
Available actions
- Inline editing: modify title and description directly in the table and save with the "Save" button.
- Export to CSV for bulk editing externally, then re-import.
- Delete selected products.
Tip: completing title and description improves SEO and the customer experience.
No stock
Products with total inventory equal to 0 across all warehouses and variants.
Available actions
- Inline editing: adjust the stock value directly in the table and save with the "Save" button.
- Export to CSV for external bulk update.
- Delete selected products.
No product type
Products with an empty product_type field.
Available actions
- Select all or a subset
- Export to CSV for bulk type assignment, then re-import
- Delete selected products
The product type enables Maintenance filters, automations, and catalog organisation.
No Shopify category
Products without the official Shopify taxonomy category (different from the product type field).
Available actions
- Select all or a subset
- Export to CSV and re-import with the category assigned
- Delete selected products
Important:
The Shopify category is required for Google Shopping and affects smart collection navigation.
Inactive
Products in draft or archived status – they are not active and not visible in the store.
Available actions
- Select all or a subset
- "Activate" button: changes all selected products to Active status in bulk.
- Export to CSV
- Delete selected products
Unpublished
Active products whose published_at field is empty, meaning they are not available on any sales channel.
Available actions
- Select all or a subset
- "Publish" button: sets the publication date on all channels configured in the store.
- Export to CSV
- Delete selected products
Typical workflow
- Open "Data Consistency" from the Dashboard
- Click "Analyse Products" and wait for the scan to finish
- Review cards with issue count > 0
- Click "View & Manage" on the block you want to fix
- Select affected products (individually or all)
- Apply the action: Activate / Publish, Save changes, Export, or Delete
- Watch the global progress bar until the operation completes
- Return to the summary panel and repeat for the next block
Remember:
Deletions are permanent. Always export the list before deleting if you need to recover data.
