Hey, @tdelayne.

Thank you for reaching out and posting this question!

I understand that you're looking for a way to upload your products to Etsy. Just to confirm, are you using an integration for uploading products to Etsy at the moment?

I've taken a look at the Etsy Community articles, such as Is it possible to import from CSV?, and it looks like Etsy does not support bulk importing or exporting products via CSV files. However, according to this third-party blog, Does Shopify Integrate with Etsy? Yes, and Here's How to Do It, it appears you can integrate with Etsy through the following options: 

• Coding the APIs - this refers to coding/building your own app, which is possible on Shopify through custom apps. However, if you're not comfortable with coding, then you can consider hiring a developer to help you with this. If you need help with finding a developer, then you can check out our directory of certified developers on Shopify Experts. 
• Third-party agencies - there are companies or developers that provide freelance services, such as Shopify Experts or Fiverr, which can help with uploading products onto Shopify or other various platforms. 
• Native marketplace integrations - you can find third-party apps, such as the Etsy Marketplace Integration, which are readily available on our platform through the Shopfiy app store.  
• Third-party integrations - there are third-party integrations, such as LitCommerce's Shopify Etsy Integration, which are likely external apps that can be installed onto Shopify.

Based on the suggested options, I think the easiest way will be through the use of a third-party app that's integrated on Shopify. This way, you wouldn't need to hire a developer or work with custom coding. Many of the apps also offer a free trial and, if you need further assistance, the app developer is always available to assist you - you can reach out to them directly through the contact information found in the Support section of their app's page. Aside from the Etsy Marketplace Integration, feel free to check out Etsy Integration & Sync and Etsy Inventory Integration as well.

Did you get a chance to check out any of these apps in our app store previously? I'd love to know whether something like Etsy Marketplace Integration can help you resolve this task. Let me know!

I can’t Skype with you until I leave work at 5 and make it home to a
computer. Is that ok?

Hey, @tdelayne.

I am glad to answer your question.

So I can understand why you are unable to upload products to Etsy. On Etsy uploading products in bulk is quite a task as you have to convert your listings into CSV files and then upload, which in bulk is not possible.

Here third party apps play a major role in getting your store started.

I have come across many apps, but the one I settled on was the Etsy Marketplace Integration App.

This app helps sellers to integrate their Shopify store to Etsy in just minutes.

Let us look at its benefits in brief so that you can optimize your store more efficiently :

1) Orders are updated with a click, which takes care of your main concern about order updates.

2) Effective synchronization of orders from your Shopify store to your Etsy store in real-time.

3) Changes in inventory or product? It's no problem either. With one click, you can delete them.

4) Selling globally is no longer a challenge! Multi-currency and multi-language support solves this problem as well.

5) Their 24/7 customer support is another major advantage.

There are many advantages to this application, so discover them all by getting on board.

Hope this answer suffices your query well.

Have a great time selling on Etsy.

Thank you.

You say "with a click" but I have been clicking everywhere I nothing happens?  What exactly needs to be clicked?

Hey, @SandWB.

Thank you for joining the thread!

Just to confirm, are you referring to the third-party app, Etsy Marketplace Integration, suggested by @saritay?

If so, then I was able to find some guides from the app developer to assist you. After installing Etsy Marketplace Integration, simply follow the onboarding steps to connect your store with Etsy, import products, and set up your profile. You can also check out their other guides, such as the Etsy Marketplace Integration dashboard and orders to learn more about using their app. If you need any help with a third-party app, the developer is always available to assist you - you can reach out to them directly through the contact information found in the Support section of their app's page. 

I'd love to hear more about your business! What kinds of products are you selling? Have you prepared a marketing plan for your businesses on Shopify and Etsy?
