Getting Started with ImportCheck
ImportCheck validates your product catalog files before you import them into your ERP system. This guide walks you through your first validation in under 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- A product catalog file in CSV or Excel format (.csv, .xlsx, .xls)
- An ImportCheck account — free 14-day trial, no credit card required
- A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)
Your first validation
Create your account
Go to import-check.com/register and create a free account. No credit card is required for the 14-day trial. You will receive a confirmation email shortly after sign-up.
Open the Dashboard
After logging in, you land on the Dashboard. Click the "Upload a file" button in the top-right corner to open the upload panel.
Upload your catalog file
Drag and drop your CSV or Excel file onto the upload zone, or click to browse. ImportCheck accepts files up to 20 MB (10,000 rows on Starter, 100,000 rows on Pro).
Review the validation results
The analysis runs automatically. Within seconds you see a results panel showing the total number of errors, warnings and the affected rows. Each issue includes the row number, column name, error code and a fix suggestion.
Download the error report
Click "Download report" to export a structured Excel file with all issues. Share it with your supplier, data team or use it to fix the catalog before importing into your ERP.
