How to upload products on Etsy?

Once you have configured all the Etsy parameters, you must start uploading the products you want to sell. To do this, go to the “Add listings” section and follow the steps below, filling in the necessary information.

What information needs to be included on products?

To create ads you must add the name of the product, images or videos, a description of the product, the category to which it belongs, its attributes, labels, price, main features and finally configure the delivery.

Product title

You should give a clear and concise title that describes the product of the advertisement, e.g. “Green and white checkered jumper”.

Photos and Videos

Select the “Add photos or videos” button and add the corresponding product images. You can change the order of the images on a case-by-case basis. Optionally you can upload photos of the variants or even a video of your product. In order for the images to be uploaded correctly, they must follow the following parameters:

Images must be in .jpg, .png, or .gif format.
The recommended size for images is 2000px on the shortest side and a resolution of 72 PPI.
The images must contain the name of the product and must not be repeated between them.
Each image must include a short description of the product.

Product description

Once you have the product name and images ready, make a product description to let your future customers know more about the products and your shop.

Product price and inventory

Set the product price and quantity based on the inventory you have available.

Variants and attributes

If the products have different variants such as colours, sizes, etc., this should be specified in this section. We should also add labels based on the product following the relevant keyword.
