Fix Shopify CSV invalid weight errors
Weight fields can fail when values contain units, text, or mismatched weight-unit combinations.
Why Shopify throws this error
Weight columns are parsed as numeric values with separate unit fields. Mixed-format input can break import normalization.
Common causes
- - Weight value includes text like '2 kg' in numeric column.
- - Weight unit not aligned to expected unit codes.
- - Decimal formatting uses locale-specific commas.
- - Negative or blank weights on shippable products.
