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

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

Generate a Shop Uploader template to use category instead of taxonomy_id. It's easier and less error-prone. See the Templates Page (must be logged in).

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

The taxonomy_id is a special number assigned by Etsy to each product category. To retrieve the taxonomy_id for your category, view the Templates Page (must be logged in).

taxonomy_id values must be:

  • A whole number
  • A positive number
  • Only uses the characters 0-9

See the Template Docs: taxonomy_id for more details.
