Easily validate a product CSV and split it into multiple parts if too large.

Go Shopify CSV Helper

Shopify is a great platform, but it's sometimes suprising that their CSV importer is limited to only 15 MB.

For users with a lot of products, this forces them to use an API or awkwardly split up a CSV...I'm sure there's a wealth of tools out there to split a Shopify CSV and avoid that 15 MB limit, but I decided to write a utility for this, myself.

How to Use

This is a go app, so you'll need to install go. This was done as a coding project, so it expects that you can look into the code yourself.

• Update the main() endpoint to change the CSV file location.
• In the fixCSvSize module, adjust the MAX_ROWS_PER_FILE const to create larger or smaller files.
• By default, resized files will be prefxied like "resizedCsv_1.csv", "resizedCsv_2.csv", etc.
• Simply drag and drop the mess of files into Shopify. Fun.

Note that this only outputs new files if the input file is > 15 MB. Also, it checks the input file to ensure that each column matches the Shopify definition.
