Standard Exports

We have made a selection of pre-built standard exports for the most common Etsy tasks:

Updating inventory
Updating prices
Updating titles, descriptions, tags
Updating images
Updating videos

These will export all the necessary data to make the update you selected. Your export will also be ready to update the data, then upload back to Shop Uploader, to make changes quick and easy.

You can also mix and match these exports in-case you want to update a few different things at the same time. For instance, you can update prices and add videos with the same sheet.

Notes on Standard Exports:

Exports will include listing_id and title
Exports into a Shop Uploader template

Example: Updating Prices

Choose “Export for price update”
Start Export
Wait until it’s completed
Download the Export
Update your prices
Upload to Shop Uploader
✅ All done!

Custom Exports

Custom exports are more flexible and can be made faster.

Choosing Columns

Custom exports will only include the columns you choose. This helps minimize unnecessary data and makes your export faster.

There are two methods to select columns:

Choose sets of columns
Choose columns individually

Column sets are groups of columns, such as tags. There’s no need to select all 13 tag headers, you can just select the tags column set.

If you want more control over your columns, you can select each column individually.

Adding Filters

You can filter your export by:

Shop section
listing_state
listing_id
sku

This will restrict the final data to only include listings that satisfy your filters.

Filtering by shop section, listing_state, and listing_id will make your export faster and reduce the total number of requests sent to Etsy.

You can enter your listing_ids and skus as text, which allows you to easily copy from your spreadsheet.

Settings

Export into Shop Uploader template

Data will be exported into a Shop Uploader template by default. By disabling this, only the columns that you have selected will be included in the CSV file.

Include extra data

Etsy will always export more than just the columns you selected. Do you want to exclude this or include this extra data?
