Bulk registration allows up to 10,000 products per upload
Mercari Shops documents a maximum of 10,000 products in one bulk-registration CSV. This checker counts data rows excluding the header and reports 10,001 or more as an error.
At 10,000 or below, the file passes this specific file-size rule.
Your account can still have a lower product-registration limit
Mercari Shops notes that some shops, including during an initial period, can be limited to a maximum of 200 registered products. That is account state, not something the CSV file can reveal.
A file under 10,000 rows can therefore still exceed what the shop is currently allowed to register.
Smaller batches can make large imports easier to debug
Even when 10,000 rows are technically allowed, one bad row in a huge file can make diagnosis slower. For a new template or workflow, a smaller test batch is often easier to validate first.
Use the CSV splitter when you need to divide a large file.
Row count is only one failure mode
Mercari Shops can stop an import when CSV content contains errors.
After the count check, run the product CSV preflight checker for required fields and value rules.
