Shopify Product Catalog Quality Audit | PAL

Audit a public Shopify storefront product feed or a product export you already have. Get specific fixes, not a vague health score. For ecommerce agencies and merchants reviewing product-data quality before campaigns.

What's checked

Missing or duplicate product handles; short or missing titles; thin product descriptions; missing product images and alt text; missing variants, missing/duplicate SKUs, invalid/zero/negative prices, compare-at prices below selling prices, and duplicate variant option combinations. All findings include severity, evidence, identifying public product fields and an actionable correction. Each run produces an issue table and an overall summary, exportable as JSON or CSV.

First run

The initial example uses two explicitly fictional product rows. Press Start to preview a real audit result without visiting a website. Replace these rows with your own Shopify product JSON export, or clear the products array and enter a public Shopify URL in the publicStore field. The Actor reads the store's publicly accessible products.json feed up to maxPages pages with up to pageSize records per page.

It does not request login credentials, Shopify Admin API tokens or private inventory.

Product value

Agencies can quickly check an existing or competitor storefront's public catalog for feed-health issues; merchants can prioritize corrections and rerun after changes. Results are ordered by severity, with exact SKU/variant identifiers and recommended action. The AUDIT_SUMMARY record includes counts by issue type and severity, plus a partial-catalog warning.

Limitations, compliance and security

The public feed path uses only HTTPS, validates publicly routable DNS and pins the validated IP, disallows redirects and checks robots.txt. Public data can be absent or blocked; this causes a non-billable failure. It never circumvents access controls, signs in, scrapes private data or promises an entire-catalog audit. The sampleIsPartial flag denotes bounded feeds or supplied exports. A zero-priced product can legitimately be free, and decorative images can legitimately have blank alt text; findings should be reviewed, not automatically changed.

Pricing

One pay-per-event event named store-audit-completed is charged only after the dataset and summary are successfully stored. See the live Pricing tab for the price. A failed input or unavailable feed is not intentionally charged. No paid proxies or other external APIs are needed. No user data is sold.

What this is not

This is not a full SEO crawl, payment/checkout audit, stock quantity verification, website owner authentication, or guaranteed revenue increase. It is a transparent quality analysis of public or user-supplied product metadata.

Accuracy note

The public Shopify product feed may omit image alt text metadata. A missing alt field is not proof of missing alt text on the live storefront. This audit reports blank alt text only when the source explicitly includes an empty alt field. A zero compare-at price is treated as unset, not as a false discount.
