Questions about switching
Can I bring my Etsy listings?
Yes. In Shop Manager, open Settings, then Options, then Download Data, and download the CSV of your listings. Import it under Your Shop in Calisto Templates. Each listing waits as a draft with its title, description, tags, price and photos.
Do I connect my Etsy account?
No. You download the file and import it. Nothing signs in to Etsy, and nothing flows back to it.
Does my price change?
No. A price comes over in the currency the file states, and is never converted.
Do I need the design files too?
Yes. A listing describes a template, so import the design it sells, match the draft to that template, check it and sell it. Templates suggests the template with the same name.
