We are making great progress on the Etsy module for Magento. As of today, the Etsy module now creates a category in Magento named Etsy and assigns all products to that category with a Magento SKU that matches the Etsy listing_id. We are looking to release toward the end of the week. The next steps for us are:

• Mimic the Etsy category tree in Magento
• Assign images to the Magento product
• Create a workflow that will allow user to select which product to sync and also allow inventory updates

If anyone has any suggestions, please send them our way.

After eating all the turkey and stuffing we figured might as well do some more work on the Etsy plugin for Magento.

Right now when you install, it creates a table called etsy with 8 fields:

etsy_id

title

image_url

listing_id

price

quantity

created_time

update time

At the moment, the following is functional:

Creates an Etsy section in the admin->config to store username in the database

Creates an Etsy section in the admin with a grid to show currently downloaded products

Stores all downloaded products in the database

Here is a screen shot inside of magento.

When it comes to eCommerce, Etsy fits a certain niche. Hand crafted items will always be in demand and Etsy has helped crafty people fill that demand since 2005. What if you want to take that next step though? You like Etsy, but you want to run your own online store in addition to it. Round3Media is working on a solution for you. Right now, Magento is the most powerful and feature rich of open-source if not all eCommerce package available. Magento can handle difficult configurations of items, promotions, and marketing. By using Magento, your search engine results will also have the possibility to increase your search engine rankings.

Still in early development, our Etsy to Magento integration will allow you to:

• Select which products to import  from Etsy to Magento
• Pull down your Etsy images, descriptions, inventory levels, and prices into Magento
• When an item sells in Magento, report that reduction in inventory to Etsy
• Monitor your Etsy items to refresh inventory levels in Magento

This will be our first contribution to the Magento community, and there will be more to come.
