ABAR Catalog Guard
Read-only by design

Find catalog problems before your customers do.

ABAR Catalog Guard scans your entire Shopify catalog with 16 checks — duplicate SKUs, missing images and alt texts, empty SEO fields, price errors, oversell risks — and summarises everything in one Catalog Health Score. It never changes your data. It finds issues and prepares fixes.

Why catalogs need auditing

Every catalog decays.

Products get duplicated, imports skip barcodes, images lose alt texts, drafts pile up, a compare-at price ends up below the selling price. Each issue is small; together they cost conversions, break feeds like Google Shopping, and can even create legal risk (EU Omnibus pricing rules). Finding them by hand across hundreds of products is nobody's job — so nobody does it.

How it works

Scan. Understand. Fix on your terms.

  1. 01
    Scan

    One click reads your entire catalog (products and variants). Strictly read-only: the app only has the read_products permission, so it physically cannot change anything.

  2. 02
    Understand

    Results grouped by category — identifiers, pricing, images, SEO, product data, inventory — and ranked by severity: critical, warning, suggestion. One Health Score (0–100) tracks your progress scan over scan.

  3. 03
    Fix on your terms

    Every affected product links straight into your Shopify admin. Fixable issues open pre-filled in ABAR Bulk Edit — always with a before/after preview and Smart Undo. Checks that don't apply to your store can be muted with one click.

Catalog Health Score

One number for your whole catalog.

The Health Score is weighted by severity and catalog size. Every scan is compared to the previous one, so you always see new issues, fixed issues and the score delta. Muted checks don't count. Watch it climb as you clean up.

  • Critical issues weigh more than suggestions
  • Larger catalogs are graded on a curve — a duplicate SKU on 10 products doesn't tank a 3,000-product store
  • Delta vs. previous scan is shown next to the score
  • Muted checks are excluded from the calculation

Better together

Catalog Guard finds it. ABAR Bulk Edit fixes it.

Seven of the 16 checks come with a "Fix with ABAR Bulk Edit" button that opens the editor pre-filled — preview first, apply, undo anytime. Both apps are standalone; installed together they turn a scan into a two-click cleanup.
