CSV FILES messing up my prices . " , " problem in the price

Topic summary

Issue: Importing a Shopify product CSV via Excel (Data → From Text/CSV) caused prices to be multiplied by 100 because Excel “ate” the comma used as a decimal separator.

Guidance: Shopify expects a period as the decimal separator (e.g., 9.95 EUR), not a comma. Using periods in the CSV should prevent the 100× price inflation.

Clarification: Even with rounded prices (no decimals), Excel’s parsing still led to misinterpretation when importing the CSV.

Actions: The helper requested a sample of the CSV for review. The poster shared attachments/screenshots showing Excel import settings.

Resolution: The poster changed an Excel import option (as shown in the screenshot), after which prices imported correctly. No Shopify-side setting was required.

Status: Resolved. Key takeaway—ensure the CSV uses periods for decimals or adjust Excel’s import settings so commas aren’t misinterpreted. Images were used to illustrate the Excel setting change.

Hello @Dangren ,

Are your prices using a comma as the decimal separator? For example: 9,95 EUR

I think Shopify needs the decimal separator to be a period instead. So replacing 9,95 with 9.95 should fix the problem.

Best,
