Can I Transfer Shopify Listings to a Different Etsy Store?

Yes. You can transfer Shopify products to any Etsy shop you have connected to Shuttle. Each Shopify product is linked to only one Etsy shop at a time, so you need to move a product that is already linked to one shop before you can transfer it to another.

Connect another Etsy shop

Before you can transfer to a second Etsy shop, you need to connect it to Shuttle.

  1. In Shuttle, go to Settings > Account > Connected Shops.

  2. Click Add Etsy shop and connect the shop.

The free plan and the free trial include one connected Etsy shop. To connect more Etsy shops, subscribe to a paid plan.

Transfer Shopify products to a different Etsy shop

Manual transfers go to your active Etsy shop, so make the shop you want your active shop before you transfer.

  1. Go to Settings > Account > Connected Shops and click Activate next to the shop you want to transfer to.

  2. Go to Products and open the Shopify → Etsy tab.

  3. Click Transfer to Etsy on the product's row.

Move a Shopify product that is linked to another Etsy shop

A Shopify product that is linked to another of your Etsy shops is hidden from the product list. A transfer to the active shop skips the product with The product is assigned to a different Etsy shop, so move the product first and then transfer it.

Move a product from the shop you want to send it to

  1. Make that shop your active shop, then go to Products and open the Shopify → Etsy tab.

  2. Turn on All Etsy shops. Products linked to another shop are marked Linked to and the shop's name.

  3. Click Move to Etsy shop on the product's row.

  4. Under Move to, check the shop is the right one. Tick Add to queue if you want the product queued for transfer. The queue holds up to 100 products.

  5. Click Move to followed by the shop's name, check the summary, then click Confirm move.

  6. Click Transfer to Etsy on the product's row, or run your queue.

Move a product from the shop it is linked to now

  1. Go to Products, open the product's More actions menu and click Change Etsy shop.

  2. Pick the new shop and confirm.

  3. Make the new shop your active shop, then transfer the product.

Move many products between Etsy shops at once

To move many products in one go, turn on All Etsy shops on the Products page and choose one of these:

  • Select the products and click Move to Etsy shop….

  • Click Move products between shops… to move all products linked to a shop, or only those in a Shopify collection.

What changes when you move a product to another Etsy shop

Moving a Shopify product clears its link to the old Etsy shop, but the old listing on Etsy stays as it is. A move only changes Shuttle's links: it does not create, edit or delete any Etsy listing, and nothing is created in the new shop.

  • The product's link to the old shop is cleared, including its matched variations, custom matches and kit membership.

  • The listing on the old Etsy shop is not changed. If you no longer sell the product there, deactivate the listing in Etsy.

  • The old listing stays on the old shop's Etsy → Shopify tab as an unmatched listing. It keeps that shop's reviews, and you can match it again there.

  • In the new shop, the product has no listing until it is matched or transferred.

When the new Etsy shop already has the Shopify product

If the new Etsy shop already has the same Shopify product, matched or not, nothing is moved. This stops one Shopify product from syncing twice.

  • The summary after the move still counts the product as moved.

  • The new shop's copy of the product stays as it is.

  • The old shop's copy is unlinked from the Shopify product. If it has an Etsy listing, the listing stays on the old shop's Etsy → Shopify tab as an unmatched listing, with its reviews.

  • If the old shop's copy has no Etsy listing, it is removed.

  • The product is not added to the queue, and Shuttle does not try to match it again.

Match a moved product to a listing the new shop already has

If the new Etsy shop already has a listing for the moved product, match the two before you transfer anything.

  1. Make the new shop your active shop, then go to Products and open the Shopify → Etsy tab.

  2. Open the product's More actions menu and click Match to Etsy. Shuttle looks for an Etsy listing that shares the product's SKUs.

  3. If no matching product is found, click Manually Match Product. Search for the listing, pick it, then click Match to product.

A transfer of a product with no linked listing always creates a new draft listing on Etsy. So if you transfer first, or tick Add to queue and run the queue, you end up with a duplicate listing in the new shop.

Let Shuttle match moved products automatically

If Match products by title or Match products and variations by SKU is turned on for the new Etsy shop, Shuttle tries to match moved products with that shop's listings in the background. The message after the move then says "Shuttle is now trying to match it with" (or "them with") the shop's name and "listings".

Automatic matching after a move covers only products that actually arrived in the new shop. The message does not appear when the new shop already had every product you moved.

Both settings are off by default. You find them under Smart Matcher in Settings > Products > General.

The usual matching rules apply to moved products. A match is made only when exactly one unmatched listing in the new shop has the same title, or exactly one product shares the moved product's SKUs.

Matching by title or SKU only pairs a listing with Shopify products that belong to the same Etsy shop or to no Etsy shop yet. A Shopify product linked to another of your Etsy shops is never matched this way.

Add a moved product to the queue

Add to queue is off by default when you move products. If the queue is full, the product is still moved but is not added to the queue. A product the new Etsy shop already had is never added to the queue.
