Overview

Connect2Cart integrates directly with Etsy using Etsy’s secure authorization process. Once connected, Connect2Cart will automatically begin importing new orders from your Etsy shop and will keep shipment tracking and fulfillment status synchronized.

The setup process only takes a few minutes and only needs to be completed once.
