Etsy V3 API Upgrade: What You Need to Know

Etsy V3 API Upgrade FAQs
Q: What is the deadline to upgrade to the Etsy V3 API?
A: Etsy plans to officially retire the V2 API on March 31, 2023. It's highly recommended to upgrade before this date to prevent any disruption to your store's connection with Gelato.
Q: What happens if I choose not to upgrade to the V3 API?
A: Failure to upgrade to the V3 API by the deadline will result in the connection between your Gelato account and Etsy store ceasing to function. This is because, after the deadline, Etsy will no longer support the V2 API.
Q: Will the upgrade to Etsy V3 API affect my existing connected products?
A: Rest assured, the upgrade is designed to be seamless and will not impact your existing product connections.
