Unleashed + Etsy Integration

Etsy is a global online marketplace focused on handmade, vintage, and unique products. It's used by independent makers, artisans, designers, and small product businesses who want to reach a large audience of buyers looking for distinctive, non-mass-produced goods. Etsy has over 90 million active buyers globally, making it one of the most significant marketplaces for independent product businesses. 

Etsy's built-in inventory management is designed for basic listing management, tracking stock quantities and preventing overselling within Etsy. It doesn't support purchase orders, supplier management, multi-warehouse stock, production/bill of materials tracking, landed cost calculations, or multi-channel inventory management across different platforms. As an Etsy business grows, these limitations become operational bottlenecks. 

Etsy is excellent at connecting you with buyers and processing orders. Unleashed handles the operational complexity behind the scenes: where your materials came from, what they cost, how much finished stock you have, and when you need to make or order more. For makers and product businesses, Unleashed's bill of materials and production features are particularly valuable, tracking raw material consumption and finished goods inventory in a way that Etsy's tools simply don't support. 

When a customer purchases from your Etsy shop, the order flows into Unleashed for fulfilment. Unleashed deducts the sold items from your inventory and updates stock levels. When you produce new stock or receive materials, Unleashed updates your available inventory, which is reflected in your Etsy listings. The integration keeps both systems in sync automatically. 

Yes. Unleashed is a multi-channel inventory platform. You can manage your Etsy shop alongside your own website, wholesale orders, other marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, etc.), and physical retail, all from one central inventory system. Stock is tracked from a single pool, so every sale on any channel is reflected everywhere immediately. 

Many Etsy sellers underestimate their true cost of goods because they don't fully account for materials, production time, packaging, and shipping costs. Unleashed calculates weighted average landed costs for every product, including raw materials and production costs for items you make yourself, so when you look at your Etsy sales margin, you're seeing the real number. This is essential for making good decisions about pricing, product range, and which lines to grow. 

Yes. Unleashed integrates natively with Xero and QuickBooks Online. Your Etsy sales, inventory movements, and purchasing data all flow through to your accounts automatically, giving you an accurate financial picture without manually reconciling your Etsy shop with your books. 

Yes. Unleashed is designed for small and medium-sized product businesses. The integration is particularly valuable as your Etsy order volume grows and manual stock management becomes a bottleneck, but it's also worth setting up early to establish accurate cost tracking from the start, especially if you're making your own products.
