Etsy Syndicate PLEASE HELP!

[labellechanson]

Hi All,

Can anyone help me out with SYNDICATION on Etsy?

I don't think I have it because
I've realised that my products do not show when I "search" for them on Google Shopping, or FindIt.

1. Etsy doesn't seem to help much in their "help section".
I can't find a link under "Promotion" in my account, that lets me turn on SYNDICATION unlike what their image shows.

See their image here:

2. I have a "Google Analytics" account. It should be connected to Etsy, as I've added the WebID onto my Etsy Account.

Does anybody have some advice please?

Thanks!

S.

if it says pending. . . .what does that mean?

Thanks. I'm not sure what pending means. I have it too.

I read the thread...Is it safe to assume etsy sellers have no control over when etsy will allow their shop to be syndicated?

So google search is different than google shopping search?

It sounds like you have to wait for google shopping to choose you. One person said they have been on since 2009 and haven't been chosen yet.

Forgive my ignorance here, but what does it mean to be syndicated or for google shopping to choose you. I have never heard either of these terms. How do you find out if you are syndicated?

If it says "pending" then you're not part of the so called "BETA" testing. Which means I guess you're not syndicated.

so sad...

BUT Sadly the case.

How can you tell if your shop is syndicated or not?

[Former_Member]

more frustrating than that... I have been looking into this and found shops that started in 2009 that show up on the first page of google- and are no longer alive!
