Importing Files from Etsy
Maintaining an organized shop and ensuring your customers have access to the latest versions of your patterns is essential to your success as a designer, and gosadi is taking pattern management on Etsy to the next level! In this article we'll walk through the process of adding and syncing PDFs through gosadi for a seamless and efficient Etsy experience.
Understanding How Etsy Files are Managed on gosadi
You may notice that when viewing your pattern PDF in gosadi, it shows “File located on Etsy”, rather than the PDF itself. This is due to how Etsy manages files upon import.
When you import your patterns to gosadi from Etsy, the original PDF file remains in Etsy. Therefore, any updates or changes you make to the pattern within gosadi are independent of the original Etsy file. Your Etsy shop will continue to reference the original PDF until you sync a new file through gosadi. You can add any updates you want to the pattern and new pdfs through gosadi and the original file will remain on Etsy until you sync a new file through gosadi.
Updating and Adding New PDFs
A benefit of gosadi is that it allows you to add updates and upload new PDFs to your patterns directly within the platform. You don't need to worry about manually managing files on Etsy. To manage your Etsy PDFs on gosadi:
Navigate to the Product Library and select the pattern you want to update
Click on the Files tab and upload or remove files
Be sure to Click Save & Continue
Etsy Selling Channel Tab
When you add a PDF to an Etsy pattern in gosadi, you'll notice an option on the Etsy Selling Channel tab that allows you to decide whether or not to include that pattern in your Etsy Sync.
Here's what you need to know:
Any pattern included in the Etsy Selling Channel tab will be automatically included in your sync.
Only the files associated with the patterns on the Etsy Selling Channel tab will be synced with your Etsy shop.
Final Thoughts
Understanding how files are managed upon import and how to add, update, and sync PDFs from gosadi to Etsy will help you maintain an organized shop, while also streamlining your file management process.
