Issue: A product CSV import failed with the error “invalid CSV Header: Missing headers: Title.” The user was unsure how to correct the file and is a beginner with Excel.
Diagnosis: A respondent noted the CSV is missing the header row and the first product’s Title field (each product’s first line should include Title). They suspected some lines were accidentally deleted.
Recommended fix: Re‑export products to obtain the correct CSV template, make necessary edits, and reimport to Shopify. Keep the header row unchanged and ensure every product has a Title.
Clarification: A CSV header is the first row listing column names (e.g., Title), which Shopify requires to map fields correctly.
Outcome: The user resolved the issue by switching to a different platform/import tool and can now import without problems. No further action requested; effectively resolved.
Hello community!
My name is Freddie,
I have been trying to import this file which; I’m going to upload along the bottom of at the open terminal.
I have uploaded bunch of other files like this one and they all went through I just don’t know what’s going on with this file. It gives me this error: invalid CSV Header: Missing headers: Title. I mean I see what the error tells me but, I don’t know how to fix it. I don’t know the language of Excel I am a beginner with the platform
Hi @FreddieZarrin ,
You file is missing headers, also seems like first product doesn’t have it’s title (which should be defined on the first line of each product). So I assume you accidently deleted few lines of this file.
If this is export of your actual products I suggest you to export products again, make required changes and push it back to shopify. Make sure you keep header line untouched.

Hello @simon-skrod ,
Thanks for your time looking over my concern. I have got the issue solved. I had to use a different Platform to import my listing and now, I easily import with no problem, but yeah, I knew obviously what the error was saying which was letting me know title and header were missing but, I just did not know how to go about fixing it. Again, Thanks a lot for your time 
Talk soon
