Move your Etsy listings to Shopify

Download your listings from Etsy, convert them here, and import the result into Shopify. The conversion runs in your browser, so your file never leaves your computer.

What the conversion looks like

A small Etsy export and the Shopify file the converter makes from it. This is the converter's real output.

What doesn't carry over

Before importing, run the file through the Shopify CSV fixer to catch anything Shopify would reject.

Questions

Will my Etsy images come across?

Yes. Etsy's IMAGE1 to IMAGE10 links become Shopify product images in the same order. Shopify downloads them during the import, so the links must still work at that point.

What happens to my Etsy variations?

Etsy's export lists variation values but not a price or stock level for each option, so each listing is converted as a single Shopify product. You can add variants in Shopify after the import.

Do I need a Shopify plan to test the import?

Shopify's free trial includes product imports, so you can import, check the result and delete it before you commit.
