Article: How to Fix Variation Issues When Pushing Listings from Printful to Etsy

Introduction

If you're a seller on Etsy using Printful to fulfill your orders, you may have encountered an issue where unisex sizes show up as men's sizes on the variations. This can confuse your customers and affect their buying decisions. In this article, we will discuss an easy fix for this issue and how to prevent it in future listings. We will also provide a solution for fixing existing listings that have already been pushed to your Etsy store.

Understanding the Issue

When pushing a listing from Printful to Etsy, the first option is to choose unisex sizing. However, if you push it as unisex, it will show up as men's sizes on Etsy. For example, a small unisex size will be displayed as "S" for men's sizes. To avoid this confusion, it's recommended to push all unisex sizes as men's sizes.

Preventing the Issue in Future Listings

To prevent the variation issue in future listings, follow these steps:

1. On the Printful dashboard, select unisex sizing when pushing a listing to Etsy.
2. Push the listing to Etsy as men's sizes, even if it's a unisex size.
3. This way, the variations will show up as the letter sizes (S, M, L, XL, 2XL) and will have no gender association.

Pushing your products as men's sizes for unisex items ensures clarity and simplicity for your customers when they are making a purchase on your Etsy store.
