Validation failed: The variant 'Default Title' already exists

Shopify Discussion

Hello,

I am trying import my prıduct list. When I add one by one there is no problem but when I add more than one I receive an error called “Validation failed: The variant ‘Default Title’ already exists”. I checked previous subjects on this community but I havent find a solution. I want to import 120 different products but I always receive same error and It is kind of annoying.

Also I would like to know what is the limit of import products. I received once “Validation failed: Number of allowed variations exceeded” error.

Hi @dedeeren88 .

it seems to work as soon as you provide a handle. Just set it like Bakur-Karbonat for Bakur Karbonat. Shopify normally does that automatically but maybe they have problems with non-English letters.

Dear @tewe ,

Like I said when I try this for single product without handle column it is ok but i will try to fill up handle column and will try again. Do you know the limit by the way? How many product can I add at one step?

Thanks,

Eren

Hi @dedeeren88 ,

I am only aware of the limits in regard to the API, see https://shopify.dev/concepts/about-apis/rate-limits#resource-based-rate-limits. Each product is at least one variant. I do not know how if this transfers to the CSV import but I guess so.

I have just copied the title column to handle column without touching non-english letters and I have successfully import the list.

Thanks,
