Understanding Etsy product properties
A product’s Etsy Properties page lets you add all of the attributes and inventory for its listing on Etsy, or update the existing ones.
To access this page, go to Product Summary page > Toolbox > Etsy.
Take a look at a sample product showing default Etsy Properties for a newly added product with no specific properties configured yet:
The table below defines all of a product’s Etsy properties:

Population of this field only occurs as follows:
|
