Verdict
14 issues found · 3 block orders · 6 cost money · 5 hurt trust
Your storefront reads clean on the surface, but the operational layer has gaps that will bite. Twelve products can't legally ship to the US as they stand. No HS code means a customs hold. Fourteen variants weigh zero, so carriers are pricing on defaults you'll cover at pickup. Fix the order-blockers first; the trust items can wait a week.
Fix these first
Add HS codes to 12 products. US-bound parcels can be held at customs without them.
Add country of origin to 9 products (do not guess from brand aesthetics; confirm with each supplier).
Set weights on 14 variants currently at 0 g. Carrier rates are being calculated wrong.
Add shipping rates for the EU market. You have 23 EU sessions this month and no way to check out.

Operational audit
These checks read product, variant and market data through a read-only Shopify connection. They can't be run from a public URL.
HS codes, country of origin, and weights on every variant.
“harmonized_system_code: null”
Why it matters
Without an HS code, US Customs can hold parcels or apply a punitive default rate. Since the de minimis exemption ended, every US-bound shipment is affected.
Suggested fix
Assign a 6- or 10-digit HS code to each product. Ask each Collective supplier for their classification if you don't have one on hand.
“country_of_origin: ''”
Why it matters
Country of origin is required for customs declarations. Do not guess from brand aesthetics; customs officers verify against supplier documents.
Suggested fix
Ask each supplier for the manufacturing country in writing, then populate the field per variant.
Every market you sell to has real, deliverable rates.
“eu_rates: [] · sessions_last_30d: 23”
Why it matters
23 sessions from EU visitors in the last 30 days had no way to check out because no rate is defined for the zone.
Suggested fix
Add at least one EU rate (flat or carrier-calculated) in Shopify Shipping settings and assign every product to a profile that covers it.
“weight: 0 · weight_unit: 'g'”
Why it matters
Carrier-calculated rates use variant weight. A zero weight either falls through to a default (usually too low) or triggers a manual reprice at pickup, so you eat the difference.
Suggested fix
Weigh each variant packed and set the actual weight and unit. Batch-edit via the product admin CSV export.
Duties and VAT collection configured for the markets that need it.
“collect_duties_at_checkout: false”
Why it matters
US buyers now receive a customs invoice on delivery. A large share refuse the parcel, which comes back to you at your cost, plus a chargeback risk.
Suggested fix
Enable duties collection at checkout for the US market so the buyer sees and pays the true landed cost.
“vat_registration: null”
Why it matters
You have active sales but no VAT registration on file, so tax is not being collected. The liability sits with you until it is.
Suggested fix
Register for VAT (or IOSS if under €150 orders) and add the registration in Shopify Taxes.
SKUs, barcodes, vendor and maker. Clean supplier metadata.
“sku: '' · barcode: ''”
Why it matters
3PLs, marketplaces and reorder workflows all depend on stable identifiers. Missing values cause split shipments, wrong picks, and duplicate SKUs downstream.
Suggested fix
Populate SKU on every variant and GTIN/barcode wherever the manufacturer provides one.
“vendor: '' · type: 'Collective'”
Why it matters
Vendor is how you reconcile supplier reports and route returns. Empty vendors on Collective products make royalty and returns handling manual.
Suggested fix
Backfill the vendor field from the Collective supplier list. Add a metafield for maker if you want it customer-facing.

Storefront consistency
These issues are visible to every shopper right now. First three shown free.
“This deck is intended for experienced readers only and assumes fluency with reversed meanings.”
Why it matters
The Shadow Oracle appears in the Beginner Reads collection but its description warns beginners away. Shoppers browsing the beginner category will land on a product that explicitly excludes them.
Suggested fix
Move the product to Intermediate Reads, or soften the description to include a beginner-friendly primer.
“Atlas Bifold Wallet, 100% Vegan · Materials: full-grain leather, cotton lining.”
Why it matters
The product title claims 100% vegan; the materials list specifies full-grain leather. One of these is wrong and both are visible on the PDP. A refund and chargeback risk.
Suggested fix
Confirm the actual material with your supplier and correct either the title or the materials list. Also audit meta description and OG tags.
“Enjoy free shipping on orders over $50. (Homepage banner: $50 · Footer: $60 · Checkout: $75)”
Why it matters
Three different free-shipping thresholds are live at the same time. Shoppers who add $55 expecting free shipping hit $75 at checkout. A common cart-abandonment cause.
Suggested fix
Pick a single threshold, update the banner, footer, shipping page, and Shopify Shipping settings, then re-scan.
“A hand-poured candle, made in small batches, that fills any room.”
Why it matters
Six product descriptions use punctuation you asked us to flag. Full list available in the export.
Suggested fix
Rewrite the flagged sentences to match your house style.
“SUMMER SALE: ends August 31. Take 20% off everything with code SUMMER20.”
Why it matters
The homepage banner references an August 31 deadline; today is well past that date.
Suggested fix
Remove the banner section or schedule expiry via the theme customizer.
