Etsy Product Upload Tool

Last Updated: Jun 11, 2019

The InfiPlex Order Management System (OMS) now offers an Etsy Store Product and Variant Upload Tool. This tool allows Etsy Store owners the ability to mass upload their products instead of using the manual forms available in the Etsy Store's admin portal. This tool will allow you to upload hundreds of products and variants and save you significant time in the process.

Etsy Store Product Upload Tool

The product upload tool allows you to upload a .csv file with product and variant information. If you don't already have an Etsy Store account, you will need to sign-up for your Etsy Store. You also need to make sure that you have set-up your Etsy connection within the OMS Settings area.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure your products adhere to the listing guidelines for Etsy. Please note that the current version of the Product Upload Tool only inserts new products and variations. You will need to edit products from your Etsy Store admin area.

You can download the example .csv file and review the instructions below to prepare your file. InfiPlex can also prepare your file for you and manage the upload. Contact us if you would like a quote to build the file for you.

You should always test several individual product uploads before uploading a group of products. It is recommended that your review what is allowed on Etsy before you upload your products.
