uploading a csv file of products, im not getting a confirmation that the upload is complete it just makes me keep redoing it. no errors no email no nothing i have no idea if it is even uploading or if there is something wrong.
Topic summary
CSV product uploads are not showing completion confirmation; no errors or emails, leading to repeated attempts and uncertainty about success.
Recent update: Uploads only succeed when splitting into batches of 10 products and placing them in a new spreadsheet.
Suggested checks and actions:
- Verify the CSV is encoded in UTF-8 (a standard text encoding) and uses LF linefeeds (Unix-style line endings).
- Use Shopify’s free sample product CSV template to ensure correct structure.
- Confirm all required fields are present per Shopify’s product CSV considerations.
- If the file is large, break it into smaller files to avoid long processing times or potential stalls.
Key resources: Links to the sample CSV template and product CSV considerations were provided.
Status: No resolution yet. More details are requested to diagnose the issue; confirmation behavior remains unclear and unanswered.

Hi @aemmert ,
I can see how that would be frustrating! I suppose the first thing I want to be sure of is that you’re using the correct CSV format so that Shopify’s system recognizes it.
Is your CSV file in UTF-8 format using LF-style linefeeds? Or better yet, are you using our own free sample CSV file? Does your CSV file include all the relevant and necessary data?
Sometimes it helps to break your CSV up into smaller files if it is exceptionally large. As with importing any data to any portal, large files can either take a long time or get stuck somewhere along the way, so smaller files just make it a smoother process.
