Why buy instead of building it yourself
This took several iterations to get right — specifically the diff logic that only updates changed fields without triggering Shopify’s rate limits. The error handling covers the edge cases you will hit in production (variant mismatches, image URL changes, metafield conflicts). Buy once, skip the debugging.
