THE BRIDGE, NOT ANOTHER STOREFRONT

Etsy can stay Etsy. Shopify can stay Shopify.

Channels sits between the two. Etsy remains where the marketplace sale happens. Shopify remains the operational home you already use. Channels handles the handoff with a review layer in the middle.

That means less copy-and-paste work without giving up control over product matching, customer records, duplicate decisions, pricing, or fulfillment.

HOW IT WORKS

Orders first. Catalog second.

You do not have to rebuild your business around the integration. Channels adapts to custom, stocked, and hybrid sellers.

01

Etsy order arrives

Paid Etsy orders flow into Channels and land in the Dashboard Review Queue instead of being pushed blindly into Shopify.

02

Review and resolve

Confirm the Shopify variant, use a remembered mapping, search Shopify, or bring the item over as a custom line when no permanent product match makes sense.

03

Check before import

Channels looks for prior links and duplicate signals before creating another Shopify order, and surfaces possible matches for human review when it cannot prove they are the same order.

04

Approve and fulfill

Create or reuse the Shopify customer, import the order only when you are ready, and keep fulfillment and tracking moving according to the sync mode you choose.

DUPLICATE-AWARE BY DESIGN

Catch-up should not mean creating orders twice.

Orders created by Channels carry the Etsy receipt identity into Shopify so Channels can reconcile them on retries. For older orders that may have been created manually, Channels can surface likely duplicates for you to review before approving another import.

CONTROL WHERE IT MATTERS

Flexible underneath. Simple in daily use.

Review before Shopify

Every order can stop at a human review step first. Nothing has to become a Shopify order until the product path is resolved and you approve it.

Remembered product mappings

Once you confirm an Etsy listing or variation against a Shopify variant, Channels can recognize the same relationship next time.

Custom lines when a SKU is not the answer

Made-to-order work does not have to be forced into a permanent Shopify catalog item. Use matched variants, custom lines, or both.

Duplicate protection

Channels tags and reconciles orders it creates using the Etsy receipt ID and also warns on likely Shopify duplicates so retries and catch-up work are safer.

Shopify customer creation and reuse

Reuse an existing Shopify customer when possible or create one from the Etsy order while keeping that order's shipping address specific to the order.

Fulfillment your way

Choose Etsy-primary, Shopify-primary, two-way fulfillment sync, or leave automatic fulfillment sync off.

BUILT FOR REAL SELLERS

Custom. Stocked. Hybrid. Channels does not force one model.

01

Custom / made to order

Use custom Shopify lines when the Etsy item is unique, personalized, or simply does not belong in permanent Shopify inventory.

02

Stocked

Match Etsy items to existing Shopify variants when inventory and catalog identity matter.

03

Hybrid

Use both approaches across the same business without forcing every order through the same product model.

AFTER THE IMPORT

A cleaner operational record.

The Dashboard is for work that needs attention. History and audit tools stay available when you need to look back.

REVIEW QUEUE

What needs attention stays in front of you.

Orders that still need a decision live on the Dashboard Review Queue. Once reviewed, they fall off the queue. Your selected sort order is remembered when you come back.

CATCH-UP

Bring older Etsy orders in without cluttering the future.

Scan prior paid Etsy orders when you need to catch up. Unimported catch-up orders stay temporary, can be cleared, and can be rediscovered later. Only catch-up orders actually imported into Shopify become permanent order history.

ORDER HISTORY

Keep the permanent record focused on real Channels work.

Normal orders are tracked from your Channels activation forward, while older catch-up orders join history only after import. View the last 7, 14, or 30 days, 3, 6, or 12 months, all history, or a custom date range.

AUDIT LOG

See what happened without reading database language.

The Audit Log explains actions in plain language first, with technical details available only when you actually need them for troubleshooting.
