What if the import goes wrong?

It tells you first. Your file is read in your own browser and checked before a single byte is uploaded, and then a practice run resolves every row against your real data and reports what would happen without saving anything. You only press the real button once you have seen the numbers.

Can I bring it in twice?

Yes. Records are matched on their natural key (SKU for products, email for customers, order number for orders) so running the same file again updates rather than duplicates. Fix something in the spreadsheet and re-drop it.

For most businesses there is nothing to do. It is a file and a button. If your data is genuinely awkward, email migrate@sparx.works and we will do the move with you.

Own the customer, not just the listing

Listings with their variations, sold orders, and a real buyer list rebuilt from your orders file: the customer list Etsy never gives you.

This is a Etsy listings export

We can tell from the columns and the file name.

Listings

128 of 129 ready

128 listings ready: 1 row will be skipped.

Must fix

Row 84: this record has no name.

Nothing has been saved yet.

You built the shop. They kept the relationship.

The fees are a percentage of everything, forever

Listing, transaction, payment processing, and advertising you did not always ask for. On a good month the platform is your largest single cost, and it grows precisely as fast as you do.

You cannot email the people who bought from you

They are Etsy's customers who happened to buy your work. There is no list, no way to tell them about a new collection, and no way to bring them back except paying to be seen again.

Your shop sits next to twelve near-copies of it

Search puts you beside people undercutting you, and the only lever is to spend more on ads inside the platform that is already taking a cut.

What comes across

Everything in this list is something an importer we maintain actually reads out of your Etsy export. It is generated from that importer, so it cannot promise you something we do not do.

Keep selling there. Stop only selling there.

This is not usually a switch. It is adding a shop you own beside the one you rent. The difference is that on your own site the buyer is yours: you can email them, they can find you directly, and a repeat order costs you nothing in commission.

What that changes

A real customer list, rebuilt from your sold-orders file: the thing Etsy has never given you.
Email built in, so a new collection is an email rather than an ad spend.
Every repeat order is worth roughly a tenth more, because nobody takes a cut of it.

What does not come across

Every migration leaves something behind. Here is ours, so it is not a surprise halfway through.

Etsy reports stock per LISTING, not per variation, so quantities need a once-over after the move. Everything else lands as-is.
Reviews stay on Etsy. They are theirs.
Digital download files are re-uploaded once.

Before you start

Still curious? Read the platform docs, browse the API spec, or book a 20-min architecture call. We don't do high-pressure demos.

No. Everything happens on a copy. You export a file, and your Etsy account carries on exactly as it is. Plenty of people run both for a few weeks before switching their domain over.

Bring it over

Export the file Etsy already makes for you, drop it in, and look at what would happen before anything is saved. Two files from Shop Manager → Download Data. Under an hour for most shops, including the buyer list.
