SHOPIFY CSV FIELD GUIDE
Two rows with the same option identity need attention.
Duplicate option combinations within a product make matching ambiguous. Rowpatch does not use a different SKU to guess which duplicate row you intended.
Two hat rows both use Size = Small
What to do next
Compare full exports, inspect each option combination and resolve unintended duplicates in a separate edited copy. Keep legitimate image-only rows distinct from variant rows.
- Keep an untouched current Shopify export.
- Choose that export and your edited copy in Rowpatch.
- Review flagged values and unresolved comparisons, then inspect Shopify’s own import preview.

What this check tells you
A duplicate SKU on two distinct option combinations is not automatically an ambiguous option match. Do not delete rows solely to remove a warning.
