  3. Set Up Your Etsy Target Store

    Choose "Etsy" as your Target Cart. As Etsy is a marketplace, direct API import for all entities might not be available. Cart2Cart will process your Volusion data and prepare it in a format suitable for Etsy's import mechanisms. You will then be guided on how to manually import these files into your Etsy shop.
