Etsy, explained for sellers who list a lot

Two ways to edit many Etsy listings at once: Etsy’s own Shop Manager tools, and a bulk editor for the changes Etsy cannot do, like find and replace, photos and templates.

The rules for Etsy tags (13 tags, 20 characters each), how Etsy search uses them, and a simple method for filling all 13 with phrases buyers actually type.

Etsy titles are capped at 140 characters and only the first few words show in search. How to structure a title, what Etsy rejects, and how to fix titles across a whole shop.

Etsy has no bulk upload or CSV import. Here are the ways sellers add many listings at once: copying, the Etsy API, and tools that create listings from photos or spreadsheets.

How many photos an Etsy listing can have, the size Etsy recommends, video limits, and how to add or reorder photos across many listings at once.

What a draft listing is on Etsy, what it costs (nothing until activated), how to publish drafts in bulk, and why publishing to drafts first is the safe way to add many listings.

Edit hundreds of Etsy listings at once: find and replace in titles and descriptions, add or remove tags, change prices by a percent, add photos, set sections and shipping profiles, then publish back to Etsy.

Upload a product photo and get all 13 Etsy tags, each under 20 characters, written as the phrases buyers search. Edit them, apply them across listings, and publish to your shop.

Write Etsy listing titles that fit in 140 characters and lead with what buyers search. SpeedList generates the title from your photo together with 13 tags and a description, and publishes to Etsy.

Import a spreadsheet of products, map the columns to Etsy fields, review the listings, then publish them to your Etsy shop as drafts or live through the official API.

Capture a listing’s setup (category, attributes, shipping, variations, pricing, tags, photos) as a template and apply it to any number of listings at once, then publish to Etsy.
