The free preview
Check every row before you import.
The preview shows what every row will do and what it will cost. Your store stays exactly as it is until you press start.
Conflict mode
Choose how existing records are handled.
Decide what happens when a row already exists in your store. Change the setting and the results and cost update right away.
- SkipLeave what's there alone. The default.
- UpdateOverwrite it with your file's values.
- FailFlag it so you can decide.
What it catches
Catch errors before they're imported.
Typos, duplicates and links to things that don't exist yet. Each is listed with its row number and, wherever it can, a suggested fix.
- Misspelled field types, with the right spelling
- The same row entered twice in your file
- Products or variants it can't find
Why it's free
Confidence shouldn't cost extra.
Previews never use credits. You only pay for rows that are imported.
Rerun it as often as you like.
Fix your file and run it again. Previews never use credits.
See the cost first.
It totals exactly what your import will use. Rows that skip or fail cost nothing.
Limits for large files.
The preview covers files up to 50,000 rows. Bigger ones still import, and every row still gets its own result.
Good questions
Common questions.
Does the preview change my store?
It only reads. Nothing is created or updated until you press start.
What's the difference between a conflict and an error?
An error means the row itself needs fixing, like a blank required field. A conflict means it clashes with something already in your store, or you chose Fail.
Does every import type get a preview?
Fields, values, content types and entries get the full row-by-row check. Blog posts show how your first row maps, and each post is still checked as it's written.
Can I undo an import?
Undo isn't possible, which is exactly why the preview exists. ImportKit only creates and updates, so read the verdicts first and try a test store if you're unsure.
Run the preview on your own file.
Install free, upload a spreadsheet and review the results. Buy credits when you're ready to import.
