Safely inject your Asaf Audit Labs alt-text descriptions into your official Shopify Admin product export CSV. Strict filename matching ensures reordered product photos never receive mismatched descriptions, short meaningful existing alt-text is never overwritten, and 0 price, inventory, variant, barcode, or metafield cells are touched.
Try the merge flow in-browser using a sample 5-product catalog immediately.
Important Inventory Safety Rule: Always export your Shopify product CSV immediately before merging and importing so active inventory quantities stay up to date. Keep your untouched original export CSV as a full restore backup (re-import your untouched original export CSV if needed).
Note for stores with Shopify-hosted MP4 product videos or 3D models: Standard Shopify CSV exports only include image URLs. If your products use hosted video media, either apply shopify_matrixify_alt_patch.csv (Image Command: MERGE) or test a single product handle first.

How to Import Back into Shopify Safely
Keep a safe copy of your untouched original Products → Export → All products CSV as a full restore backup (re-import your untouched original export CSV if needed).
In Shopify Admin, go to Products → Import, upload shopify_patched_import_ready.csv, check Overwrite products with matching handles, and run the import.
Verify 2–3 product pages on your storefront to confirm alt-text updates while prices and inventory remain untouched.
