# Check Shopify price-only CSV updates before import

**Use case:** 

Preview a synthetic Shopify bulk price change: SKU 002 changes from 22.00 to 21.00; other cells stay unchanged. Run the example, then compare your untouched native export with your edited CSV and declare exact price headers. The sample returns PASS; PASS does not guarantee live import safety. Review the report before import. Apify platform usage charges apply.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/bgmowl/shopify-price-update-csv-guard.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
