FAQ

Questions before you join

Is this different from the WooCommerce image checker?

Yes. This version is tailored to Shopify CSV image columns, handles, image positions, and variant image mapping.

Will it upload or host images?

No. It would inspect URLs and output a cleanup report before import.

What image problems would it catch?

Broken formats, non-public links, duplicate images, missing primary images, missing alt text, and suspicious cross-product reuse.

What should I put in the use case box?

Mention if your pain is supplier image links, Dropbox links, variant image mapping, CDN migration, or missing product photos.
