Connecting your Etsy shop

Once SKUvio is installed in your Shopify admin, the next step is to connect the Etsy shop you want to sync. You do this from the Channels page, and it takes about a minute.

Connect from the Channels page

  1. Open the Channels page in SKUvio.
  2. Click Connect Etsy.
  3. You’re sent to Etsy’s own sign-in page. Log in and approve the access SKUvio requests.
  4. Etsy sends you straight back to SKUvio, and your shop shows as connected.

This is a standard, secure one-click login (OAuth). You sign in on Etsy’s site, not inside SKUvio, so there are no API keys or secret codes to copy and paste. SKUvio only receives permission to read your listings and orders and to keep inventory in sync — nothing more.

Your connection is stored securely

When you approve access, Etsy issues SKUvio a private access token on your behalf. That token is encrypted at rest, and SKUvio refreshes it for you automatically in the background, so you stay connected without ever logging in again for day-to-day syncing.

If you ever want to disconnect, you can do so from the Channels page.

Connecting more than one Etsy shop

SKUvio can sync several Etsy shops from a single Shopify catalogue. To add another, come back to the Channels page and connect the next shop the same way — each one gets its own secure login.

How many Etsy shops you can connect depends on your plan. See Multiple Etsy shops for the details and how listings map across shops.

Next step

With your Etsy shop connected, you’re ready to run your first sync — importing your Shopify products and pushing them out to Etsy.
