Shopify import error: "Validation failed: price can't be blank"

What it means: A variant row has an empty Price cell. Every variant needs its own price, including the extra rows for each size or color, not only the first row of the product.

How to fix it

  1. Fill in Price on every variant row the checker lists.
  2. Image-only rows (a URL handle and an image link, nothing else) do not need a price; make sure those rows really have no option values.

What the checker says about it

  • Line 3: the variant has no price. Shopify reports "Validation failed: price can't be blank".

Once the listed rows are fixed, check the file again; the checker also looks for every other problem Shopify documents, so you do not trade one error for the next.
