Introduction

In this article, we will guide you through the process of integrating your Ownprint account with Etsy and automatically pushing Ownprint products to your Etsy shop. We will cover the necessary steps to ensure a smooth integration and syncing of listings and orders between the two platforms. By the end of this article, you will be able to connect your Ownprint account with your Etsy shop, create product templates, optimize listings, and manage pricing, inventory, and delivery options effectively.

Disabling Gift Message on Your Store

Before you begin the integration process, it is important to disable the gift message option on your store. This step prevents buyers from adding gift messages and expecting them to be printed on the packing slip. Disabling the gift message option is crucial as printing gift messages on the packing slip is not possible. Follow the instructions in the settings section of your store to disable the gift message option and save the settings.

Connecting Your Ownprint Account with Etsy

To connect your Ownprint account with your Etsy shop, you need to access the Ownprint app on app.ownprint.co. Once there, navigate to the store section and click on "Connect Stores". Select the Etsy integration option and click "Connect". Grant access to the Ownprint app when prompted to ensure seamless data sharing between the platforms. Once the connection is established, you will be able to see your store's name in the app, indicating a successful connection.

Creating a Product Template

After connecting your Ownprint account with your Etsy shop, the next step is to create a product template and push it to your Etsy shop. In the product template section of the Ownprint app, click on "Create product template". Choose a product you want to list on Etsy and ensure that the title of the product does not have more than two capital letters. Editing the title may be necessary to avoid errors during integration. Once the product template is created, save it and click on "Add to store" to select your Etsy shop. Ensure that the title has a maximum of two capital letters before proceeding.

Optimizing the Listing on Etsy

After pushing the product template to your Etsy shop, it is essential to optimize the listing to attract potential buyers. Start by arranging the images in the desired order to enhance visual appeal. Edit the title to include relevant keywords targeting your audience. Based on your product research, find keywords actively used by potential buyers and incorporate them into the title. Scroll down to the description section and refine it by removing any unnecessary characters or spaces. Make sure to use keywords in the description to improve visibility and searchability. Edit the instructions for buyers, especially for personalization, according to the specific requirements of the product. Clearly state the details buyers need to provide for customization purposes.

Editing the Pricing and Inventory

In the pricing and inventory section, you have the freedom to adjust the pricing and quantity of the product variants. However, it is crucial not to edit or delete the SKU and variations related to engraving details and colors. Editing or deleting these details can disrupt the fulfillment flow and lead to delays in order processing. Make necessary changes to the pricing of the variants, but keep the SKU and variations intact. Set the desired quantity for the product, but ensure not to exceed the recommended limits.

Adding Tags to Improve Visibility

Tags play a significant role in improving the visibility of your listing on Etsy. Edit the existing tags and add relevant keywords specific to your product and target audience. Consider the occasion, purpose, or audience your product caters to and incorporate appropriate tags. Make use of all the 13 available tags to enhance the discoverability of your listing. Keywords and tags play a crucial role in boosting SEO and attracting potential buyers to your Etsy shop.

Setting Up Delivery Options

To provide accurate delivery options to your customers, you need to set up the appropriate locations and shipping details. In the delivery option section, add the locations where you ship from and where you ship to. Specify the delivery time for each location, ensuring you provide realistic estimates. Choose whether to charge for shipping or offer free delivery based on your business model and strategy. Factor in the shipping costs and adjust the pricing accordingly to cover the expenses or make the shipping cost an additional payment for the customers.

Checking the Renewal Option

By default, the renewal option for your listings is set to manual, meaning they will expire after a certain period. To prevent any issues with deactivated listings, you can set up the automatic renewal option. Etsy also recommends enabling this option to ensure continuous visibility and availability of your products. Simply check the renewal option and save the changes. This will automatically renew your listings to avoid any disruptions.

Finalizing Your Listing on Etsy

Once you have made all the necessary edits and modifications to your listing, it's time to finalize and publish it on Etsy. Check the preview of your listing to ensure everything looks as desired. If everything appears satisfactory, click on "Publish with changes" and then publish again to make your listing active. Your product will now be visible to potential buyers on Etsy, and any orders placed will automatically sync back to your Ownprint dashboard. Confirm and pay for the orders to initiate the production process, and your team will take care of the fulfillment and shipping. Keep track of your orders in the order section of your Ownprint account to ensure a smooth workflow.

By following these steps, you can successfully integrate your Ownprint account with Etsy and streamline the process of syncing listings and orders between the platforms. Take advantage of the various customization options available to optimize your products and attract more customers to your Etsy shop.
