CSV Parsing Error

Required Columns Missing

What you need: These three columns are required:

How to fix:

  2. Column names are case-sensitive
  3. Don’t use variations like “Order Number” or “Ship Date”

Shopify Sync Issues

No Orders Found

What you’ll see: “No orders found in time range”

Common causes:

  • Selected date range has no orders
  • Store is new with no orders yet
  • Orders are draft or archived status

How to fix:

  1. Try “All Time” sync option
  2. Check you have completed orders in Shopify
  3. Make sure orders aren’t just drafts

Sync Taking Too Long

Normal times:

  • Under 1,000 orders: 1-2 minutes
  • 1,000-10,000 orders: 2-5 minutes
  • Over 10,000 orders: 5-15 minutes

If it’s taking longer: The sync continues in background - you can leave the page and come back.

Export Failed

What you’ll see: “Failed to export data. Please try again.”

How to fix:

  1. Wait a moment and try again
  2. Try a smaller date range
  3. Check your internet connection

Data Matching Issues

Orders Not Matching

Your CSV orders aren’t linking to Shopify orders.

How to fix:

  1. Check order number format matches
  2. We handle formats like: #1001, 1001, SHOP-1001
  3. Make sure you synced Shopify orders first
  4. Verify the orders exist in your Shopify admin

Dates Not Recognized

Accepted formats:

  • 2025-09-13 (recommended)
  • 09/13/2025
  • Sep 13, 2025

How to fix: Format your date columns as YYYY-MM-DD in Excel before saving as CSV.
