Error while importing Product || Deleted products not visible
M
Maneesh Singh Bisht
- What is the shop or customer experiencing?
Missing Products & Inventory: The Shop imported a product CSV file, but all listing inventory values showed zero inventory.
Invisible Listings: After deleting the products to start fresh, no products appear in either the active Products view or the Deleted Products view (even though system logs indicate ~203 products were deleted).
Import Failure: Re-importing the CSV file fails continuously with duplicate SKU errors, preventing them from uploading their inventory ahead of a time-critical Facebook Live event.
- What is the expected behavior?
CSV product imports should populate product listings along with their correct inventory counts.
Deleted products should display in the Deleted Products tab. Also, re-importing the same SKUs (especially when selecting SKU prefix options) should successfully recreates the product listings.
- What error messages are there?
During the CSV re-import, the process fails with an error indicating that the SKUs are already in use, when the shop selects the "overwrite" option for duplicate SKUs.
- Did you replicate?
Checked the dashboard and confirmed that 0 products are visible under the main Products tab as well as the Deleted products tab, despite shop logs showing 203 deleted products.
Replication of the CSV re-import issue was attempted via the shop’s end, where the import consistently failed with the same duplicate SKU error.
- What settings were checked?
Overwrite Duplicate SKUs: Tested, but the system still flagged SKUs as already in use.
SKU Prefix Option: Tried during the CSV import process, but resulted in the exact same import error.
Products & Deleted Products Dashboard Views: Checked by both the shop and support agent to confirm whether any products were active or soft-deleted.
- Provide examples, sku, order #, customer names, and screenshots where possible.NA
