# Importing from Etsy

Move your Etsy listings to Freewebstore. Download your listings from Etsy and upload the file — Smart Import handles the rest.

Etsy's listing download works with Smart Import as-is.

### Step 1: Download your listings from Etsy

1. Log into your **Etsy Shop Manager**.
2. Go to **Settings** > **Options**.
3. Select the **Download Data** tab.
4. In the **Currently for Sale Listings** panel, click **Download CSV**.

### Step 2: Upload it to Freewebstore

1. Log into your Freewebstore Control Panel.
2. Go to **Manage** > **Products** > **Import**.
3. Drop the Etsy download into the upload box.
4. Check the preview, then click **Confirm Import**.

### A note on Etsy categories

Etsy's export doesn't include the category structure we use to organise your store, so Smart Import builds categories from your listing tags and titles where it can.

Anything it can't place confidently is flagged in the preview, and you can assign a category to those products before confirming. This used to be a mandatory step for every single Etsy product — now it only applies to the ones we genuinely can't work out.

**Etsy variations.** Etsy exports variations in a single combined column. Smart Import splits these into proper options and choices on your store. Complex variation setups are worth a spot-check in the preview.

### What about my Etsy photos?

Etsy's listings download doesn't include your photos. Download them from your Etsy account, then either put them in a ZIP alongside your listings file before uploading, or add them afterwards using the **Upload product images (zip)** link on the import screen.
