Quick answer: In Etsy, open Shop Manager → Settings → Options → Download Data, then choose Download CSV. Use the listing-data file—not a sold-orders or payment-history export.
Export your Etsy listing data
- Sign in to Etsy.com
Use the account that owns the shop whose products you want to move.
- Open Shop Manager
Select your account menu, then Shop Manager.
- Go to Settings → Options
Open the Download Data tab within Options.
- Select Download CSV
Save the active-listings CSV to your device. Leave the original file unchanged so you always have a clean source copy.
Open Etsy’s Download Data page if you are already signed in. Etsy may ask you to sign in first; use your own shop account. This link opens Etsy, not a CraftPorter upload form.
These steps and the included fields are documented in Etsy’s official listing-download guide.
What Etsy includes in the listing CSV
Etsy says its listing-data export covers your active listings and includes the following information:
CraftPorter maps those reliable fields to WooCommerce product columns. It also reads the image URL columns present in Etsy exports and creates one comma-separated WooCommerce Images field.
What the CSV cannot fully recreate
A product migration needs more than names and prices. The Etsy listing export does not provide a complete, dependable record for every WooCommerce setting.
The export does not reliably provide every variation combination’s option values, SKU, price, and inventory. CraftPorter does not invent that data. Listings that appear to use variations are flagged for manual setup in WooCommerce.
You should also expect to configure these separately in WooCommerce:
- Shipping zones, rates, profiles, weights, and package dimensions
- Tax settings and tax classes
- WooCommerce categories and category hierarchy
- Digital download files and download permissions
- Personalization fields and production-partner information
- Listing videos, reviews, favorites, order history, and marketplace ranking
How to confirm you downloaded the right CSV
Open the file in a spreadsheet app and look at the first row. A supported Etsy listing export normally contains recognizable headers such as TITLE, DESCRIPTION, PRICE, CURRENCY_CODE, and QUANTITY. Image columns commonly begin with IMAGE.
If the rows describe transactions, buyers, payment fees, or order dates, you probably downloaded an order or payment export. CraftPorter will reject unrelated CSVs instead of guessing.
You can inspect the export, but avoid resaving it before conversion. Spreadsheet software can alter encodings, long SKUs, quotes, and multiline descriptions.
Common Etsy CSV export questions
Why are some of my listings missing?
Etsy documents this as an active-listings export, not a full shop backup. Compare the file with your active catalog; do not assume it includes inactive, expired, or sold-out listings. Do not reactivate listings just to make them appear in a migration file.
Is the sold order history CSV the same file?
No. Etsy offers separate CSV downloads for listing data, sold orders, and monthly statements. For product conversion, choose the listing-data download. Do not send an order file containing buyer information to troubleshoot a listing export.
Does the CSV download include my photos?
It includes image URLs, not image files. WooCommerce must be able to fetch those URLs when you import. If photos are missing afterward, use the image-import troubleshooting guide.
Can I import the Etsy CSV into WooCommerce unchanged?
It needs preparation and column mapping. For example, WooCommerce expects multiple image URLs in one Images column, whereas Etsy exports separate image columns. CraftPorter handles that cleanup; variation inventory still needs manual reconstruction. See WooCommerce’s Etsy import guidance and our variation setup guide.
Next: convert the export for WooCommerce
Once you have the active-listings file, CraftPorter converts it locally in your browser. You will see a preview and warnings before downloading anything. Products are emitted as WooCommerce drafts so you can review them before publishing.
