Loftvex Catalog Risk Audit is designed as a read-only catalog QA step.

The app scans Shopify product and variant data, shows prioritized findings, and exports cleanup CSVs. It does not write product changes back to Shopify.

Evaluating a newer app before trusting it? Start with the public demo, sample CSV, and browser-only tools before installing. When you are ready, the first Shopify run is a free read-only audit using product access for catalog checks.

No product writes: Loftvex does not edit products, variants, inventory, collections, orders, customers, or payments.
No surprise paid start: paid plans use Shopify-managed approval screens, and the free plan is available for the first cleanup pass.
Clear first value: run the audit, review high-severity findings, and export a CSV cleanup handoff if the output is useful.

Why Shopify shows product access

The app needs read-only product access to inspect product titles, handles, descriptions, images, variants, SKUs, prices, barcodes, and inventory policy settings. Those fields are what power missing-SKU, duplicate-SKU, missing-image, invalid-price, missing-barcode, short-description, and oversell-risk findings.

Why Shopify shows store-owner metadata

Shopify may show store-owner or contributor metadata as part of app installation, billing, support, and embedded Admin context. Loftvex uses this only for app operation, billing context, support, and compliance handling. The catalog audit itself does not need customer, order, or payment data.

What the app does not do

It does not edit products, variants, inventory, collections, orders, customers, or payments.
It does not request write scopes for catalog cleanup.
It does not submit feeds or change Google Merchant Center, marketplace, or sales-channel settings.
It does not sell merchant catalog data.

What gets stored

The app stores installation records, merchant-selected audit settings, audit summaries, issue history, monitoring preferences, and billing events needed to provide the app. CSV exports are generated for the merchant's cleanup workflow.

Lowest-friction way to evaluate it

Use the browser-only free SKU checker or feed readiness checker if you are not ready to grant Shopify access.
Install the app when you want the same checks against the live Shopify catalog.
Run the free audit and export the CSV only if the findings are useful.

Ready to check your catalog? Run the free scan from Shopify Admin, then upgrade only when CSV handoff, history, monitoring, or higher audit volume becomes recurring work.
