Fix Shopify CSV invalid fulfillment service values
Imports fail or behave unexpectedly when fulfillment service values do not match valid services in your store.
Why Shopify throws this error
Fulfillment service fields are validated against known service options. Unknown values or deprecated labels can fail mapping.
Common causes
- - Old service names persisted after app uninstall.
- - Manual typos in fulfillment service cells.
- - Cross-store CSV copied with services that do not exist in target store.
- - Mixed service naming conventions in one file.
