To export Etsy shop data as CSV, go to Shop Manager, then Settings, then Options, then the Download Data tab. From there you can download your currently active listings as one CSV, and your orders, order items, or Etsy Payments records as separate CSVs by month or year. What that tab will not give you is draft listings, expired or sold-out listings, buyer messages, or your reviews. For anything past that, Etsy has a separate full-data request under your privacy settings, which arrives as a ZIP file rather than a single spreadsheet.

Where to Find the Download Data Tab
Everything native to Etsy lives in one place. Sign into Etsy.com, open Shop Manager, click Settings, click Options, then click the Download Data tab. This is a seller-side setting, so a plain buyer account will not show it, and the layout has stayed in the same spot for several years even as Etsy has moved other settings around. According to Etsy’s own help article on downloading listing information, read at the time of writing (September 2026), the tab is split into two sections: one for your for-sale listings, one for orders and payment history.
Reading through what each section actually produces matters more than the click path, because the two CSVs are built for different jobs and neither one is a full shop backup on its own.
One detail worth knowing before you go looking for it: the mobile app does not offer this feature at all, even though it handles most other seller tasks.
To export anything as a CSV, you need the desktop site, or a mobile browser pointed at the desktop version of Etsy.com while signed in as the shop owner. If you have only ever managed your shop from your phone, this is the one job that still needs a real browser.
How to Export Your Etsy Shop Data as CSV: Listings
Under “Currently for Sale Listings,” clicking Download CSV produces a file immediately, with no email wait. It contains title, description, price, currency code, quantity, tags, materials, image URLs, and SKU if you use them.
That is enough to rebuild a product catalog somewhere else in a spreadsheet, and it is the file most sellers reach for first. If you are rebuilding those same listings as standalone product pages rather than marketplace entries, the description field in this CSV is a starting draft, not a finished page, since rewriting marketplace listings as product pages usually means restructuring the copy around search intent instead of just pasting it over.
The listings CSV only covers what is active for sale at the moment you click Download. Etsy does not offer a native export of draft listings, and it does not let you download expired or previously sold-out listings either.
Sellers who ask about this in Etsy’s own community forum have been told plainly that only active listings download, and that expired listings have no built-in export path. If you have hundreds of past listings you would like a record of, the practical option is capturing them before they expire, since there is no native way to pull them back out later.
How to Export Etsy Order and Payment Data as CSV
The second section, under “What type of CSV would you like to download,” gives you four report types: Order Item (one row per item within an order, useful for seeing which products actually sell), Order (one row per order, including totals and payment status), Etsy Payments Sales (all payments processed through Etsy Payments), and Etsy Payments Deposits (what actually lands in your bank account, after fees).
You pick a report type plus a month and year; leaving the month blank pulls the full year in one file. There is no way to select a custom date range that spans years in a single download, so multi-year analysis means downloading several files and combining them yourself in a spreadsheet.
This is also the file to reach for if you are trying to work out what selling on Etsy has actually cost you. The Order report includes payment processing fees and deposit amounts, which is the raw material for comparing what you keep against what selling on Shopify would actually cost instead, and for running your own numbers on where your break-even point would sit if you moved. Etsy’s own help page on downloading a spreadsheet of sold transactions, read the same day as the listings page above, confirms the same month-or-year limit and the same four report types, so this is not a feature that has quietly expanded with more flexible ranges.
What Etsy Will Not Let You Export as a CSV
A few things stay outside the Download Data tab entirely, at the time of writing (September 2026):
- Draft listings. Only listings currently for sale export. A saved-but-unpublished draft does not appear in any CSV.
- Expired or sold-out listings. Once a listing drops out of active status, its data is not retrievable through this tool.
- Buyer and seller messages. Conversation history does not appear in any of the CSV options.
- Reviews. Star ratings and review text are not part of the listings or orders CSVs. Etsy’s data-download settings do offer a separate download for your reviews, but it is its own request, not a column in either main CSV.
- Shop settings and policies. Your shop announcement, policies, and section structure are downloadable separately from the same settings area, again as their own file rather than inside the listings or orders CSV.
None of this is hidden information. It is simply split across several downloads instead of one, which is easy to miss if you only ever click the first Download CSV button you see. Reviews and shop settings are at least available elsewhere in the same interface. Message history has no self-serve export at all right now, so if you need a record of a specific buyer conversation, saving or screenshotting it yourself is currently the only option.
The Full Data Request: Beyond a Single CSV
If you want everything Etsy holds on your account, including data that never surfaces in the two main CSVs, there is a separate request under Account Settings, then Privacy, then Download Your Data. You submit the request, wait for a confirmation email, then return to the same privacy settings to complete the download with your password.
Etsy’s overview of downloading your Etsy data, read at the time of writing (September 2026), describes this arriving as a ZIP file containing both CSV and JSON formats rather than a single spreadsheet, and notes that the download link expires after two weeks, after which you would need to submit the request again.
This route is closer to a full account archive than a working spreadsheet, and the JSON files inside it are not something most spreadsheet software opens cleanly without extra formatting work.
Shops with a long history sometimes find this request takes noticeably longer to prepare than the instant listings CSV, since Etsy is compiling years of orders, messages, and account activity into one package rather than generating a file on the spot. That is normal, and worth planning around if you are gathering records ahead of a deadline rather than out of curiosity.
There is also no scheduled or automatic export available to ordinary sellers, and no way to pull live data through an API without third-party developer access. If you want a fresh CSV, you go and click the button again. That is a manual habit worth building on its own, separate from any decision about where your shop lives long term.
Why This Export Matters Before You Decide Anything
Pulling these CSVs is not just a backup exercise. It is also the first honest look at what your shop actually contains, separate from how it feels to run day to day. A listings CSV shows you exactly how many active products you have and what their current descriptions say.
An orders CSV shows what you actually sold, at what price, after what fees, month by month rather than from memory. Both are useful whether you are staying on Etsy indefinitely or just weighing the option, and both are the kind of concrete numbers that belong in a migration readiness checklist rather than a gut feeling about whether now is the right time.
None of this means the export is a migration tool by itself. It is closer to an inventory count: you learn what you have, what it earns, and what would need to be rebuilt somewhere else, including the parts Etsy does not export at all, like reviews and message history. That gap between what downloads and what does not is exactly the kind of thing that catches sellers off guard partway through a move, rather than before they start, so it is worth looking at while you still have plenty of time to decide.
FAQ
Does Etsy’s CSV export include my draft listings?
No. The Download Data tab only exports listings that are currently active and for sale. Draft listings, whether saved once or repeatedly edited, do not appear in the listings CSV.
Can I download more than one year of order data in a single Etsy CSV?
No. Each order-related download covers one month or one full year at a time. Covering several years means downloading multiple files and combining them yourself.
Are my Etsy reviews included in the shop data CSV export?
No, not in the listings or orders CSVs. Reviews are downloaded separately through the same Download Data settings area, as their own file.
What format does Etsy’s full data request come in?
It arrives as a ZIP file containing both CSV and JSON formats, not a single spreadsheet, and the download link expires two weeks after your request.
Can I set up an automatic or scheduled Etsy data export?
No. Etsy does not offer scheduled or automatic CSV exports for ordinary sellers, and there is no live data feed. Each export is a manual click.
