WORKED EXAMPLE / PUBLIC SAMPLE DATA
Convert a simple product spreadsheet into a Shopify CSV
This two-product catalog uses product_name, sku, price and brand columns. The converter maps them into the supported Shopify product fields and creates draft products.
These are fictional sample records. Both files below are free; processing your own file includes a free diagnostic and limited preview, followed by a $5.99 one-time payment for the complete output.

Why create drafts?
The output keeps products unpublished so you can review them in Shopify. It supports one row per simple product. It does not convert variant catalogs, inventory updates or store-specific metafields.
Will this update my existing products?
This launch workflow is intended for new simple products. Shopify uses matching handles when applying its overwrite option, so inspect handles and import settings before changing an existing catalog.
See Shopify’s product import instructions for the current import and overwrite behavior. Archon Foundry is an independent tool and is not endorsed by Shopify.
