Error: Invalid [shipping_profile_id] should be a int value. Template has this: '...'

How to fix "Error: Invalid [shipping_profile_id] should be a int value. Template has this: '...'"

This error occurs when you enter a non-number value into the shipping_profile_id column.

The shipping_profile_id is a special number assigned by Etsy. You cannot choose your own shipping_profile_id, it will be assigned when you create a shipping profile.

To retrieve your shipping_profile_id:

  • Select your shipping profiles when generating a template
  • Find your shipping_profile_id on the Shop Page (must be logged in)
  • Export your listings from Etsy

shipping_profile_id values must be:

  • A profile string such as MyShippingProfile (2201237)
  • A whole number
  • A positive number
  • Only uses the characters 0-9

See the Template Docs: shipping_profile_id for more details.
