Fix Shopify CSV inventory tracker invalid values
Inventory tracker fields can fail when tracker labels are unsupported or inconsistent across variants.
Why Shopify throws this error
Tracker columns map inventory behavior. Invalid labels can fail parsing or produce unintended stock handling.
Common causes
- - Unsupported tracker labels imported from another platform.
- - Mixed tracker states inside one product variant set.
- - Legacy 'shopify' values copied into incompatible templates.
- - Whitespace and casing noise in tracker values.
