The Danger of Broken Image Links in Your Spreadsheets
Even a single broken image link can trigger errors or cause products to display empty placeholders. Regional storage networks often image URLs containing unencoded spaces, non-ASCII characters, or trailing spaces. Shopify's parser will fail to load these links, leaving your listings looking unprofessional.
Common Scenarios:
- Image URLs containing raw spaces (e.g., 'image 1.jpg' instead of 'image%201.jpg') that fail to load on Shopify.
- Mismatched image file extensions (e.g., '.JPEG' instead of '.jpg') triggering system errors.
- Links missing standard protocols (http:// or https://) that are ignored during the catalog import.
