Troubleshooting

This section contains information about some common issues you might encounter with editing your job templates. If you can't find an answer to your question here, get in touch with us using the chat in your Shippit account, or reach out to Shippit support.

My upload keeps failing

Uploaded CSVs are validated immediately when you upload them. Check that you have selected the correct outcome if you are intending to use the Create and update existing or Create, update and archive missing options as these might show a warning due to conflicts with existing data.

Otherwise, if the file can't be successfully validated, the upload fails. You can determine what the problem is by downloading an annotated version of your file from the link given in the error message. The annotated file includes information on the problematic line. Fix the errors, and then upload your file again.
