ShopGaps

What it is

ShopGaps Catalog Audit is a WordPress plugin for WooCommerce stores that identifies incomplete or problematic products in your catalog. It scans for missing featured images, blank SKUs, zero or missing prices, duplicate SKUs, empty image alt text, uncategorized products, and missing GTIN, brand, or MPN data.

The free version includes core checks like missing featured image, SKU, and price detection. The paid Pro version unlocks additional features including CSV export, ignore lists, bulk alt text filling, and checks for missing weight, dimensions, and short descriptions.

All scanning runs locally on your WordPress site—no catalog data is sent to external servers. The plugin also offers related tools for checking Google Merchant Center feeds, Amazon listings, and other ecommerce platforms through browser-based file analysis.

Questions from the bench

Does ShopGaps send my catalog data to external servers?

No. The plugin scans your catalog on your WordPress site and ShopGaps does not receive your products. Data stays locally on your store.

Will bulk alt text filling overwrite existing alt text on images?

No. The bulk alt fill feature only fills empty alt text fields and never overwrites alt text that already exists.

What happens after I purchase the Pro version?

After payment is processed by Freemius, you can activate the Pro version by opening WooCommerce and navigating to Catalog Audit on your store.

Does ShopGaps offer a paid catalog audit service?

Yes. A written Store Audit for USD $149 ranks SKUs that cannot sell or cannot advertise based on your catalog data.

Can I use ShopGaps to check Google Merchant Center feeds or other platforms?

Yes. You can drop TSV, CSV, or XML feed files directly in the browser to check for missing data, duplicate IDs, and blank fields. Files are not uploaded and stay on your device.
