Background
Managing your existing Etsy listings has never been easier with Shopify Marketplace Connect. This feature allows you to effortlessly link your Etsy products to your Shopify catalog, ensuring seamless integration and streamlined operations. This article will guide you through the process of linking your Etsy listings, preserving their sales history and relevance, and keeping them up-to-date with any changes made to your Shopify store.
Before We Begin:
Please note that Shopify Marketplace Connect does not automatically create products in your Shopify store for items listed exclusively on Etsy. For such cases, you can explore importer apps available in the Shopify app store to add these products to your catalog.
How to Link Etsy Listings
To get started, head to the Settings View and switch to the Etsy channel. You will find the 'Link Listings' option on the page.
Matching Your Etsy Listings - Marketplace Connect will attempt to match your existing Etsy listings to products on your website in three ways:
Ready to List - This is the highest confidence match. If you are satisfied with the matches found, you can quickly link them in bulk after verifying.
Close Match - Marketplace looks for close title matches where other criteria such as price matches perfectly.
No Match - If no match is found, you can search for a match manually based on the title or leave the listings unlinked (e.g., if you have additional listings on Etsy without corresponding products on your Shopify store).
Shipping Rules and Return Policies:
Shipping Rules and Return Policies are not synchronized with your Shopify catalog. You can easily use existing Etsy listings settings or Marketplace Connect settings for these elements, and they can be changed via dropdown options in Marketplace Connect anytime.
Link Listings:
Once you've reviewed and finalized the matches and listing rules, click the "Link Listings" button in the bottom right to establish the connections between your Etsy listings and your products from Shopify.
Changing Sync Settings for Price, Title, or Description:
If you initially linked your Etsy listings using "Etsy settings" for Price, Title, or Description and wish to sync them from your Shopify catalog at a later time, follow these steps:
Etsy Price:
To have the Etsy price driven from your website, bulk edit the Etsy price using the "web price" operator.
Etsy Title:
To sync your product names from your Shopify store to your Etsy titles, bulk edit the title field to: {name}. You can see the result by clicking "customize grid" and adding the Etsy title result column.
Etsy Description:
If you originally chose "Etsy settings" when linking the listing, the full Etsy description of the listing will load into the Description field. To have your description field from your Shopify store synced to your Etsy description, bulk edit the description field to {description}.
By following these simple steps, you can efficiently link your existing Etsy listings to your products on Shopify using Marketplace Connect. This integration ensures that any modifications made to the linked products will automatically update the corresponding Etsy listings, streamlining your operations and maximizing your sales potential.
