How Do I Import Etsy listings?

If you’re a registered aftcra artist with your listings already downloaded from aftcra:

1. Follow this path: Login > Manage Products.

2. On the “Manage Products” page you can choose to either upload products individually (Add a Product) or import several (Import Products from Etsy).

3. Click “Import Products from Etsy”. Select the appropriate excel file from Etsy*. Press “Import”.

Please Note: Your products are NOT published until you add each product’s shipping information and select each product’s appropriate category. This information is not available from Etsy for importing.

4. Make sure that your file is a .csv file. If you open your Etsy Import file, Microsoft Office may prompt you to “Save As” or “Open With”, with MS Excel as the default. If you open it with excel and then save it as an .xls, it will be an invalid file. You can re-save your file to a .csv.

 

How Do I Download Products from Etsy?

If you do not have your “Etsy Listing” file, we have included a link to an Etsy article on how to download your listings on the file selection page of the process: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/338.

Once you’ve downloaded your listings, just follow the process above to upload your products.

 

Re-list Your Products!

Don’t forget that re-listing your products places them prominently on the top of all listings on the product category page. Re-listing your products is easy – and it’s free!

To re-list your products: Log-in to your account and go to “Manage Products”. Under each product listed there is a blue “relist” link. Click that link.
