Invalid URL provided

I'd like to import 1000 simple products from my Excel spreadsheet up to my new website. I figure I can import the pictures later and just match them up.

So far, I manually uploaded 2 products to Shopify and then exported a nice CSV template.

Then I opened the CSV file on my desktop, copy and pasted a few items that basically say the exact same info but I can't seem to get Shopify to accept the import.

I keep getting errors like this ------Line 10-11: Validation failed: Invalid URL provided.

I also tried leaving any cells that can't be dulplicate info blank and it still didn't work....Any ideas?

CSV attached with top two items working fine....bottom 4 won't upload.

Thanks Cindy

Hi,

If you have exported as plain CSV, I'd be cautious when making manual edits - the CSV is extremely fidgety about everything right down to what specific quote characters you use etc. Try and export for Excel et al and see how that pans out - haven't had too many issues the few times I used it.

If you already have used the export for Excel and the import isn't working now after your edits - it really is a matter of experimentation then. I'd export 1 specific item. Then I would copy that and make the bare minimum of changes and do each change incrementally until you hit a problem. Then figure out how to work around the problem.

Sorry I can't be of more specific help!

This can happen when you have wrong symbols in imported csv.

Best first check csv with any validator that is online, just type in google "validate csv"

In my case was missing images (wrong url to cached version) and symbols like this formated from office " ' "
