As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Etsy provides a tool called “Etsy CSV Import” that allows sellers to upload multiple products in bulk using a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. Here’s a general guide on how to upload bulk products to Etsy using the Etsy CSV Import tool:
Sign In to Your Etsy Seller Account: Log in to your Etsy seller account. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to create one first.
Access the “Etsy CSV Import” Tool: In your Etsy seller dashboard, navigate to the “Shop Manager” and look for the “Etsy CSV Import” or similar option. This is where you’ll find the tools for uploading products in bulk.
Download the CSV Template: Etsy provides a CSV template that you can use to list your products. Download this template from the Etsy CSV Import section.
Prepare Your Product Data: Gather all the necessary product data such as titles, descriptions, prices, images, and any other relevant information for the products you want to list. Make sure to format the data according to Etsy’s template.
Fill Out the Template: Open the downloaded CSV template in a spreadsheet editor (such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets) and fill in the product information for each item. Be sure to follow Etsy’s formatting guidelines and required fields.
Add Product Images: You’ll need to provide URLs to the images of your products. You can upload the images to a web server or use image hosting services.
Save the CSV File: Save your completed CSV file.
Upload the CSV File: In the Etsy CSV Import tool, there should be an option to upload your CSV file. Follow the prompts to select and upload your file.
Review and Confirm Listings: Etsy will process your CSV file and create the product listings based on the data you provided. Review the listings to ensure accuracy.
Submit and Publish: Confirm and submit the product listings. Etsy will review and publish the listings once they are approved.
Check Listing Status: After submission, you can monitor the status of your bulk upload in your Etsy seller dashboard.
Manage Listings: Use your Etsy seller dashboard to manage and monitor your bulk-uploaded listings, including inventory, pricing, and order processing.
Please note that the specific steps and features for bulk uploading products may have evolved since my last update. Always refer to Etsy’s official seller resources and support for the most up-to-date and detailed instructions on bulk product uploading using the Etsy CSV Import tool.
