Why this matters

Google Shopping and Merchant Center feeds rely on clean product data. Missing images, invalid prices, thin titles/descriptions, missing identifiers, and weak categorization can hurt approvals, feed quality, ad relevance, and catalog performance.

The Actor does not modify your Shopify store. It reads the public Shopify product catalog endpoint and produces a CSV/API-friendly readiness report.
