Why am I seeing the "Product is not available on Etsy, first upload the product on Etsy for active/inactive" error?

This error occurs when you try to update a product on Etsy that hasn’t been published yet.


How to resolve this:


To update a product on Etsy, you need to first publish the listing. Once it’s published, you can make updates directly from the app.


Steps to publish listings on Etsy:


  1. Go to the “All Products” section under ‘Products’.
  2. Select the products you want to upload to Etsy by checking the boxes next to each product.
  3. Click 'Publish on Etsyfrom the top-right toolbar.
  4. Click Confirm to publish the selected listings.
  5. Once the products are published, you can make updates as needed.
