The risks of manual CSV price edits
These are the errors we see most often in hand-edited price CSVs:
Common Scenarios:
- Sale price ends up higher than compare-at price after a percentage discount.
- A formula is copied into the wrong column and overwrites titles or SKUs.
- Currency symbols or thousand separators reappear and import as 0.00.
- The file is saved in the wrong encoding and breaks non-English characters.
