E-COMMERCE INTEGRATION · ETSY

Etsy sends the orders.And fourteen kinds of fees.

Etsy takes its cut in half a dozen different fees, and they rarely show up in one place. CashFish connects to your shop through Etsy's secure sign-in and tracks each fee separately, so the margin on every listing is a number rather than a guess.

01Before the connection

The deposit is $412.86.
Nobody can tell you why.

Etsy pays you in bundles. Inside each one are seventeen orders and forty-one fee lines, and the shop dashboard was never built to take them apart.

The fees arrive under six different names

Listing, transaction, processing, offsite ads, shipping labels, subscription. Each one is small. Together they decide whether the item was worth making.

6 fee types · 1 deposit line

Material cost lives in your head

You know the linen tote costs about fifteen dollars to make. The word doing all the work in that sentence is 'about'.

October arrives and you are guessing at stock

The holiday climb is real and it repeats, but only if last year's numbers were kept in a shape you can actually read.

04What becomes visible

What that changes
listing by listing.

Margin per listing, after every fee

Add your material costs once, and each sale reports what it actually earned — not just its sticker price.

Deposits that explain themselves

An Etsy Payments deposit is a bundle of orders minus a pile of fees. CashFish matches the pieces so you just confirm.

Seasonality you can plan around

Once fees are separated out, the real shape of your year emerges — and you can stock, price and schedule for it.

Forecasting in CashFish is built from this history — real orders, real fees, real receivables and recurring patterns. It produces estimates, not certainties, and it never claims to know what next quarter will do.

05How to begin

Sign in, price your materials, import.

Approve the connection

Sign in with Etsy and grant CashFish read-only access to your shop data. Works for any seller account, with no minimum shop size.

Add your production costs

Enter material, labour and packaging costs per listing so gross margin calculates automatically on every sale.

Import your history

Past sales, fees and payouts come in first; from then on new shop activity syncs on its own.

08Straight answers

Five things sellers ask
before they connect.
