csv import - variant already exists error

[CJackson770]

Hi, 

We are trying to import product via a csv file, the preview looks good, but not all products are loading. 

In the confirmation email reviewed it notes that "9 products couldn't be changed due to invalid information" and then lists several lines that failed becuase "The variant 'Default Title" already exists".

I've read through the discussion boards, implemented a few fixes that I found there, scrubbed my csv file, cleared my cache, and am still getting the same error mee

Hi @CJackson770,

Usually that error appears if there’s more than one product title and/or handle and the option values aren’t all unique. 

Hope this helps!

Best,
Sophie

I found a user video on YouTube that showed a sample csv file with fields filled in properly, looking at that I was able to determine how to proceed.

Thanks!

I'm having a similar issue. I keep getting 

• Validation failed: The variant 'Default Title / Black' already exists. Please change at least one option value.

I'm trying to merge 4 products into 1 listing. They are all the same product but different colors. They all have a black handle and I can't seem to figure out what to change. 

Here is an image from my csv file:

If it's too small let me know. I really need to get this fixed quickly.
