Features

Both ends of the workflow

From the moment a buyer hits Buy on Etsy to the moment the package leaves the warehouse — BullStart covers your catalog and your fulfillment floor.

Catalog

Sync, edit, and push back

Your existing Etsy listings appear in BullStart. Edit inventory, price, title, description, and images in bulk. When you click Save, the change is written back to Etsy through the official API.

Listing sync Bulk inventory edits Variation manager Image gallery sync
Fulfillment

From open order to shipped

Filter open orders, generate a print-ready packing slip with one click, mark orders shipped inside BullStart — and we post the tracking number back to Etsy. The buyer gets Etsy's standard shipped email, exactly as if you'd marked it shipped on Etsy.

Unified order list One-click packing slips Tracking write-back Shipped status sync
Control

Seller-initiated, always reversible

BullStart never edits your listings autonomously. Every write — to a listing or an order — happens only after a human in your team clicks Save. Revoke our access from Etsy settings any time; we honor the revocation immediately and stop polling.

How it works

OAuth from end to end

No screen scraping. No shared credentials. Just the official Etsy Open API v3 with the seller's consent.

1

Connect your shop

Click "Connect Etsy shop" in BullStart and you're sent to Etsy's OAuth 2.0 authorization page.

2

Approve scopes

Review the five scopes BullStart needs (listings_r, listings_w, transactions_r, transactions_w, shops_r) and approve them on Etsy.

3

Sync your catalog

BullStart performs a one-time pull of your listings and open orders into your private workspace.

4

Edit listings

Update inventory, price, title, description, and images inside BullStart. Click Save to push the change back to Etsy.

5

Print & ship

Generate a packing slip, ship the order, and mark it shipped in BullStart. The shipped status flows back to Etsy through the API.

6

Tracking write-back

BullStart posts the tracking number to Etsy via the API. The buyer receives Etsy's standard shipped notification.

OAuth 2.0 scopes we request

The minimum scopes needed — nothing more.

Scope Purpose
listings_rRead the seller's existing listings into the BullStart catalog.
listings_wSave listing edits (inventory, price, title, description, images) back to Etsy when the seller clicks Save.
transactions_rFetch open orders for fulfillment.
transactions_wPost tracking numbers and shipped status when a package leaves the warehouse.
shops_rRead shop metadata (name, country, timezone) to render the dashboard correctly.
Security & Privacy

Your shop's data, handled carefully

We follow Etsy's API Terms of Use and only access the data the seller has explicitly authorized.

👁

What we read

Listings (title, price, inventory, description, images, variations), open orders, line items, shipping addresses, and shop metadata. We do not read messages, reviews, or buyer profile data.

✏️

What we write

Listing edits and tracking numbers — only when a human in your team clicks Save or marks an order fulfilled. We never write to a listing or an order autonomously.

🔐

How we store it

Order and listing data lives in our private database for the lifetime of your account. Access tokens are stored server-side and never exposed to the browser.

🗑

How you delete it

Email us and we remove your data within seven business days, revoke our token with Etsy, and confirm the deletion in writing.

How we cache

Listing, shop, and user data is cached only as long as the Etsy API caching policy allows. We re-fetch instead of relying on stale data.

🚫

What we never do

We never sell, lease, or share seller or buyer data with third parties. We do not screen-scrape Etsy. We do not run a buyer-facing storefront.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is BullStart endorsed by Etsy?
No. BullStart is an independent seller tool that uses the public Etsy Open API v3. The term "Etsy" is a trademark of Etsy, Inc. This application uses the Etsy API but is not endorsed or certified by Etsy, Inc.
Do you take a cut of my sales?
No. BullStart does not touch the buyer payment flow — buyers continue to check out on Etsy. BullStart is also free during early access, with no per-order fee. Future paid tiers will be subscription-style; we will never take a percentage of your sales.
Why is it free during early access?
BullStart was built by Team Bullstart's own print shop. We use the platform to run our own fulfillment line, so the infrastructure cost is already covered. Keeping early access free for every Etsy seller lets us collect feedback and improve faster. Paid tiers will be introduced after general availability; we'll email every active seller at least 30 days before any change.
Can buyers see BullStart?
No. There is no buyer-facing surface. BullStart only renders inside the seller's workspace. Buyers continue to browse, check out, and receive notifications on Etsy as usual.
Will BullStart change my listings without asking?
Never. Every write happens after a human in your team clicks Save inside BullStart. There are no scheduled or autonomous edits.
How do I revoke access?
Open your Etsy account settings → Apps & Permissions → BullStart → Revoke. We stop polling and writing the moment Etsy returns an invalid-token response.
Where can I delete my data?
Email us at the address below. We remove your records and confirm the deletion within seven business days.
Do you support more than 5 shops?
Yes — that is exactly why we are requesting Commercial Access from Etsy. Personal Access caps at 5 shops; Commercial Access unlocks BullStart for the general public, which is who we want to serve.

Want to bring your shop on?

BullStart is free during early access and rolling out to the general public. Drop us a note and we'll send your onboarding link within one business day.
