At Slant POD, we strive to make your print-on-demand experience as seamless as possible. One of the key features of our Etsy app is the ability to match your products with specific SKUs, allowing you to efficiently manage variants and fulfill orders automatically. In this instructional blog post, we will walk you through the process of setting up SKUs on the Etsy dashboard, matching them with files in our plugin, and ensuring a smooth order fulfillment experience.

Step 1: Setting Up SKUs on the Etsy Dashboard

The first step in offering product variants through our Etsy app is to set up your SKUs. A SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique identifier for each variant of your product, which helps you keep track of inventory and orders. Here’s the Step-by-Step Guide to Matching Your Products in Our Etsy App:

  1. Log in to Your Etsy Dashboard: Access your Etsy account and navigate to the shop manager.

  2. Select Your Product: Go to the “Listings” section and select the product you want to add variants to.

  3. Add Variants: If your product has multiple options (such as size, color, etc.), click on the “Add Variations” button.

  4. Set Up SKUs: For each variant you create, you must assign a unique SKU. Ensure that each variant has its own distinct SKU to avoid confusion. This is crucial for matching later on.

  5. Save Changes: After adding all necessary SKUs, don’t forget to save your changes.

Step 2: Matching SKUs in the Slant POD Plugin

Once you’ve set up your SKUs on Etsy, the next step is to match them with the corresponding files in our plugin. This process ensures that when a customer orders a product, Slant3D can fulfill it correctly. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Upload Your Files: Access the Slant POD plugin and upload the files for the products you want to offer. Ensure that each file corresponds to the appropriate product variant.

  2. Match Files to SKUs: After uploading, select a specific SKU from the dropdown menu next to each uploaded file. This step is essential for linking your product design with the correct variant.

  3. Select Material and Filament Color: Along with matching the SKU, you’ll need to select the material and filament color for that specific variant. Our app provides options for various materials and colors to suit your design needs.

  4. Create the Match: Once you have selected the SKU, material, and filament color, click on the “Create Match” button. This action will finalize the pairing of your product file with the specific SKU.

Step 3: Order Fulfillment

With the SKU matched to the product file in the Slant POD plugin, you are now set up for efficient order fulfillment:

  • Automatic Fulfillment: When a customer places an order for a product with a specific SKU on Etsy, Slant POD will automatically fulfill the order using the matched file, material, and color settings you selected.

  • Streamlined Process: This setup not only simplifies order management but also ensures that your customers receive exactly what they ordered, enhancing their satisfaction and your reputation.

Conclusion

Matching your products in our Etsy app is a straightforward process that significantly enhances your ability to offer variants and manage orders efficiently. By setting up unique SKUs for each product variant on the Etsy dashboard, matching them with the corresponding files in our plugin, and selecting the appropriate materials and colors, you can ensure a smooth order fulfillment experience.
