    Seller Etsy Connector: Multivendor Marketplace for Shopify

    Updated 13 October 2023

    With Multivendor Marketplace App, You can convert your store into a marketplace where multiple sellers can register and sell their products all over the globe.

    You might know about Etsy, a well-known online global marketplace that focuses on selling handmade goods and vintage items. So, if Your sellers have their stores on Etsy too and they want to sell their Etsy store’s products on the admin’s marketplace then use the Seller Etsy Connector App.

    To connect the Etsy store with the admin’s marketplace, Seller needs to “Create An App” on his/her Etsy Store and get the API & Secret Key to establish the connection.

    Admin can enable this feature app by approving the additional charge of $25 USD/month. Thus, allows sellers to import their Etsy store’s products to the admin’s Multivendor Marketplace. Accordingly, manage the inventory at both ends.

    Let’s Explore the Features in detail.

    Etsy Configuration

    Import Products

    Once the Seller authenticates the Etsy Connector app, the system adds an “Import Products” button to the same page.

    Further, by clicking on the “Import Product” button, the Seller will get two methods to import his Etsy store’s product to Shopify.

    Method 1: Using single or comma-separated Listing ID(s)

    By using this method, the Seller should enter the Listing ID(s) of the products they wish to import and then click the “Import” button. This action will import the specified products from Etsy to the Multivendor Marketplace app.

    Method 2: By CSV

    By using this method the sellers can add their products in bulk via CSV

    They can download the example product listing CSV to add their products

    Admin End

    Once the products get imported into the Multivendor app, they will be in an approval pending state at both ends (admin and seller end). It is up to the admin if he/she approves or rejects the products to be sold on the admin’s marketplace. If the admin denies the imported product, he/she needs to add a reason for the rejection.

    Let’s See how it Works:

    Suppose a product is added on Etsy and Seller has imported this product from Etsy to Multivendor App.

    s33
    s22

    This is how the imported product appears on the Multivendor App.

    s11

    Admin can enable, deny or delete any imported products from his end.

    Once the admin approves any product, the same will reflect in the Seller panel of the Multivendor App.

    Price Rule

    Let the sellers create price rules to manage the product price of their PrestaShop store to the merchant’s store.

    Price rule

    Sellers will have a new menu named Connector Price Rule in the configuration menu of the app. From here, the seller can create price rules based on which the seller’s product price will be calculated on the merchant’s store. 

    Clicking the Connector Price Rule, the seller needs to enable “Price Rule” status and select the options as increase/decrease price, the price will be changed by a fixed amount or a percentage amount, enter the amount that needs to be changed.

    price rule

    Further, enable the checkbox to update the already synced product’s price at the merchant’s store as per the price rule created.

    This way, sellers can create price rules from their respective seller panels based on which product price of the seller’s store will be calculated at the merchant’s store.

    That’s all about the Shopify-Etsy Connector Feature App using which the admin can allow his/her sellers to connect their Etsy Store with the admin’s Shopify store with ease.
