How to export a csv file from Etsy 

Running a successful business online has become a challenge for small enterprises, especially because of fierce competition from the more established and bigger companies with deep pockets. It takes grit and a lot of focus and strategic business decisions to increase your business revenue streams. 

One good way to expand business reach is to open online stores in famous e-commerce platforms such as eBay, Amazon, Shopify, and Etsy official website

An e-commerce platform that connects sellers and buyers of artistic items, vintage finds, handmade goods, and other crafts, Etsy has made it easier for users to download their data. The app also makes it possible for sellers to download their listings or check their sales by downloading a spreadsheet of their transactions. 

If you’re a novice at using e-commerce platforms and want guidance on how to download your Etsy data, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll show you a step-by-step guide on how to export a .CSV file from Etsy for easier access.

How to Download Your Personal Data from Etsy in .CSV format

  1. Open the site Etsy.com and click the “Your Account” icon.
  2. Choose Account settings.
  3. Click Privacy tab.
  4. Search for the “Download Data” tab then click “Request your data for download”. 
  5. You’ll receive a confirmation email once the data you requested is ready for download. Make sure the email address in your profile is still working and accessible to you.  
  6. Log in to the email linked to your Etsy account.   
  7. When you see the confirmation email from Etsy, click the button in the email to validate your request.
  8. Click “Go” to your account's Privacy Settings.
  9. Under Download Data, click Download your data.
  10. Enter your account password, then your data will download to your computer.

Doing the following steps allows Etsy users to download a .ZIP (compressed) file, both in CSV and JSON formats, which can be accessed for two weeks. 

In downloading personal files, an Etsy user is asked to choose between a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or .CVS (Comma Separate Value) format. The JSON format is deemed as more appropriate for web-based applications and a better alternative to XML files. 

These file formats are supported by programming languages such as Java, PHP, Python, and Ruby. On the other hand, CSV file formats are less complicated, more compact, and compatible with other spreadsheets such as Google Sheets and MS Excel. Between the two, we recommend Etsy users to download their files via CSV format.

Etsy sellers will receive their shop information in the ZIP file, as well.

How to Download .CSV files from Your Etsy Shop

If you’re a seller on Etsy and want to have access to your shop information only, here’s what you can do:

  1. Log in on Etsy.com and input your username and password. 
  2. Click the Your Account icon, then click Shop Manager.
  3. Look for the Settings tab and click it.
  4. Choose Options under the Settings tab.
  5. Select the Download Data tab.
  6. Choose the type of data you want to download and click Download CSV to save the files to your computer.

The following Etsy listings information can be accessed via the .CSV file you’ve just downloaded: 

  • Title 
  • Description 
  • Price 
  • Currency code 
  • Quantity 
  • Tags 
  • Materials 
  • Image URLs
  • SKU numbers (if applicable)

Moving data from one platform to another  cuts the seller time and ensures that attention is fixed on other things that require more effort, such as thinking of ways to grow the client base.
