Etsy Featured Listings: How to Curate Your Shop Homepage
Etsy featured listings help spotlight bestsellers on your Shop Home; pick 4 (or sections), order them for cohesive photos, and rotate a queued set for seasons.
I run an Etsy shop and I’m trying to track true profit by product, not just revenue. I want something mobile-friendly where I can quickly log an order and have it calculate profit after Etsy fees, shipping costs, materials, and any other per-order expenses.
I’ve tried spreadsheets and a couple bookkeeping/spreadsheet tools, but I keep falling behind on updates and I’m looking for an actual app experience. Is there a good app that can show profit per order and per listing automatically (or with minimal input), and help identify which products aren’t profitable?
Hi! Yes—there are a couple of solid Etsy-friendly apps that can get you to true profit per order/listing, but the key thing to know is that no app can fully “auto-profit” without you setting up your product costs (materials/labor/packaging) at least once. After that setup, the good ones can import Etsy orders + fees and do most of the work for you.
If you want the closest thing to “profit per product, automatically,” look at Craftybase. It’s built for handmade sellers, can import your Etsy orders/transactions, and then calculates profit/margins once you’ve entered your material costs (often as a “recipe”/BOM per product). It’s usually the best fit when you care about per listing profitability and what’s actually making you money.
If you’re doing Printify/POD, ClearBase is worth a look because it’s designed to match Etsy orders to Printify production costs and then factor in Etsy fees/shipping so you can see per-order profit with less manual entry (assuming it supports your exact setup).
If you want “accounting-first” (less maker-specific) and don’t mind a bit of setup, you can also do QuickBooks Online + Etsy integration. It’s great for bookkeeping and fee/tax reporting, but profit per product is only as good as your item mapping and COGS tracking—so it can feel less “tap-tap done” than a maker-focused app.
A quick reality-check on “minimal input” so you don’t get disappointed:
If you tell me whether you’re handmade vs POD, and whether you buy shipping labels through Etsy or elsewhere, I can point you to the best option for your workflow and the least painful setup.
