Shopify Product Image & Marketplace Photo Audit

Find Shopify products with missing images, weak image coverage, missing alt text, duplicate media, broken image URLs, and variants without photos before they hurt marketplace listings or sales.

This Actor is for Shopify sellers, collectibles shops, apparel stores, marketplace sellers, agencies, and ecommerce teams that need cleaner product media for Shopify, Google Shopping, eBay, Meta catalogs, CedCommerce, and other channels.

What it checks

• products with zero images
• products with too few images
• variants missing assigned images
• images missing alt text
• duplicate image URLs
• optionally broken image URLs
• marketplace photo readiness score per product
• top fix recommendation per product

Input

{
  "storeUrl": "https://example.com",
  "maxProducts": 100,
  "minImagesPerProduct": 2,
  "requireVariantImages": true,
  "checkAltText": true,
  "checkDuplicateImages": true,
  "probeImageUrls": false,
  "includePassingProducts": false
}

Fields

• storeUrl — public Shopify storefront URL.
• maxProducts — maximum products to scan.
• minImagesPerProduct — minimum expected image count per product.
• requireVariantImages — flag variants without assigned images.
• checkAltText — flag product images missing alt text.
• checkDuplicateImages — flag repeated image URLs.
• probeImageUrls — make HTTP requests to detect broken images. Slower, but more complete.

Example product row:

{

  "title": "Pokemon Booster Pack",
  "url": "https://store.com/products/pokemon-booster-pack",
  "imageCount": 1,

}

Why this matters

Weak product photos can hurt:

• Shopify conversion rate
• Google Shopping listings
• eBay and marketplace sync quality
• Meta catalog quality
• customer confidence
• variant selection clarity
• returns and support burden

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