Fix Shopify CSV invalid status field values
Imports fail or publish incorrectly when status values do not match accepted Shopify states.
Why Shopify throws this error
Status fields are enumerated values. Unsupported labels or inconsistent mapping can fail validation or produce wrong publish outcomes.
Common causes
- - Using legacy status labels not accepted in current import format.
- - Status values translated from another platform.
- - Mixed casing and typo variants.
- - Conflicting published/status columns in merged files.
