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.
Before You Begin
Before connecting Etsy, make sure:
- You have an active Etsy seller account.
- You have administrator access to your Etsy shop.
- Your Connect2Cart account has already been created.
- You can log in to Etsy from the same web browser you are using for Connect2Cart.
Step 1: Add an Etsy Channel
In Connect2Cart:
- Navigate to Settings → Incoming Channels.
- Click Add Channel.
- Select Etsy.
Step 2: Configure the Channel
Enter the following information:
Display Name
This name is for your reference only.
Examples:
- Etsy
- My Etsy Store
- Handmade Shop
The Name of Etsy Store field can be left blank unless otherwise instructed.
Click Next.
Step 3: Authorize Connect2Cart
- Click Authorize Connect2Cart.
- You’ll be redirected to Etsy.
- Sign in to your Etsy account if prompted.
- Review the requested permissions.
- Click Allow Access.
Etsy will display a security code or automatically redirect you back to Connect2Cart, depending on your browser and Etsy account.
If a security code is displayed:
- Copy the code.
- Return to Connect2Cart.
- Paste the code into the authorization field.

Once the authorization is complete, Connect2Cart will establish the connection with your Etsy shop.
What Happens Next?
Once the connection is successful:
- New Etsy orders will begin importing automatically within a few moments.
- Shipment tracking numbers and fulfillment status will automatically be sent back to Etsy whenever orders are shipped through Connect2Cart.
- No additional configuration is required for order imports or shipment updates.
Troubleshooting
Authorization Failed
Verify that:

- Your browser is not blocking pop-ups or redirects.
If necessary, repeat the authorization process.
Orders Are Not Importing
If the connection was recently created, allow a few minutes for the initial synchronization to begin.
If orders still do not appear:
- Verify the Etsy channel shows Connected.
- Disconnect and reconnect the Etsy integration if authorization was interrupted.
Authorization Expired
If Etsy authorization is revoked or expires:
- Open Settings → Incoming Channels.
- Edit the Etsy channel.
- Click Authorize Connect2Cart again.
