Workflow Guide

Delayed Import + Browser Extension

The powerful combination that gives you complete order data, enables Judge.me integration, and streamlines your entire shipping workflow.

Get Started About the Extension

Complete Order Data from Day One

Stop using placeholder data that breaks your workflow

Real Customer Information

Not Placeholders

  • Orders wait for actual customer emails instead of generic placeholders like "customer@etsy.com"
  • Full shipping addresses captured directly from Etsy orders
  • Complete contact information for post-purchase communication

Judge.me Integration

That Actually Works

  • Real customer emails enable proper review verification
  • Automated review requests reach actual buyers
  • Build social proof without manual intervention
  • No failed verifications from placeholder emails

Shipping Workflow Optimization

Everything you need to fulfill orders efficiently

Everything for Fulfillment

  • Complete shipping addresses sync to Shopify immediately
  • Ready to print labels through PirateShip or your preferred shipping app
  • No toggling between platforms to copy/paste addresses
  • All order management happens in Shopify's superior ecosystem

Tracking Number Management

  • Update tracking on both platforms with one click
  • Browser extension handles Etsy's tracking upload (since their API doesn't allow it)
  • Customers get notifications on both platforms
  • Maintain seller metrics on Etsy while managing from Shopify

Compliance & Reliability

Working within platform rules while solving real problems

Works Within Platform Rules

  • Extension "assists" rather than "automates" to respect Etsy's terms
  • Maintains compliance while solving real workflow problems
  • No risk to your Etsy or Shopify accounts

Handles API Limitations Gracefully

  • Etsy doesn't provide shipping addresses via API → Extension captures them
  • Etsy doesn't allow tracking updates via API → Extension handles uploads
  • Etsy doesn't share customer emails → Extension preserves real data

Time Savings & Accuracy

Eliminate manual work and reduce errors

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

  • No copying addresses between platforms
  • No manual tracking number uploads to Etsy
  • No manual email collection for review requests
  • Orders flow automatically once extension captures data

Reduce Errors

  • No typos from manual address entry
  • No missed tracking updates
  • No lost review opportunities
  • Consistent data across both platforms
