How come my Etsy products are not successfully exporting in CustomCat?

Etsy has some fun title restrictions to keep in mind which can cause exporting failures. We're working to improve our error reporting so it's more obvious why an export is failing for Etsy users.

Etsy's restrictions:
- The maximum length for a title is 140 characters.
- The following characters may only be used once in a title: % : &
- The following characters may not be used: $ ^ `
- Titles may not contain more than three words in all capital letters. Please use both upper and lower case letters in your titles.

Are there limitations for Etsy tags? The answer is yes as well, please see these below.

1. The character limit for a tag is 20 characters.
2. The max tag count you can add when pushing a product is 13 tags.
3. Tags must be unique. Don't use the same tag twice for one product.
4. Don't use special characters. We can't precisely define all special characters. Sticking with Latin alphabet should ensure there are no problems!

If a tag doesn't follow these rules, it'll be skipped, and the others will be used instead. Adding or changing new tags can only be done by reading the product.
