Now you don’t have to worry about products with missing UPC codes, descriptions, image ALT tags and more thanks to the Missing Data Finder tool for BigCommerce.  Simply run the tool on all your products, a specific category, or group of SKUs to have them scanned and checked for any fields that do not contain values.

The Missing Data Finder is perfect for making sure UPC and GTIN information is included on all your store’s items so they are included in product data feeds and also for making sure all your product’s images have ALT tags to help with accessibility compliance.

Choose which fields you want to check for missing data, or fields not set as default values.  Available fields are:

  • SKU - will check to see if the SKU field is empty.
  • Name - will check to see if the product name field is empty.
  • Description - will check to see if the product description field is empty.
  • Categories - will check to see if the product is not assigned to any category/categories.
  • Brand - will check to see if the product is assigned to a brand (does not apply to custom brand pages, only the default BigCommerce generated brand pages).
  • Images - will check to see that at least one image is assigned to the product.
  • Image ALT tags - will check to see that each image assigned to the product has ALT tags.
  • Weight - will check to see that the weight field contains a numerical value.
  • Width - will check to see that the width field contains a numerical value.
  • Height - will check to see that the height field contains a numerical value.
  • Depth - will check to see that the depth field contains a numerical value.
  • Sale Price > Price - will check to see that the sale price on the item does not exceed the regular selling price of the item.
  • UPC - will check to see that the UPC code field contains a numerical value.
  • GTIN - will check to see that the GTIN code field contains a numerical value.
