Etsy fulfillment for shops that have outgrown the kitchen table.

Send your stock to our Austin, Texas warehouse. We pick, pack and ship each Etsy order, and the tracking number syncs back to the Etsy order. Pricing starts at $7/order.

Etsy integrationUSPSUPS

Yes, Simpl ships Etsy orders.

Simpl Fulfillment is a 3PL, and Etsy is one of the marketplaces we integrate with. You send your finished products to our warehouse in Austin, Texas. Your Etsy orders come to us, we ship them with UPS, USPS, or FedEx, and the tracking number syncs back to the Etsy order. You keep running the shop while we handle the packing.

How it works

How Etsy fulfillment with Simpl works

STEP 01

Get a quote and connect your shop

Tell us what you sell and roughly how many orders you ship, and we'll send a quote. Onboarding takes 5–7 days with no onboarding fee, and Simpl integrates with Etsy, so your shop's orders come straight to us.

STEP 02

Send us your inventory

Ship your ready-to-sell stock to our Austin warehouse. Receiving takes 1–3 days, and after that you can see your stock levels in real time.

STEP 03

Etsy orders ship from Austin

New Etsy orders come to us through the integration. Orders received before 12pm CT ship the same day with UPS, USPS, or FedEx, and every shipment gets a tracking number.

STEP 04

Tracking syncs back to Etsy

The tracking number syncs back to the Etsy order. Simpl doesn't email your buyers; any shipping notice they get comes from Etsy.

The decision sellers face

What a warehouse can and can't do for your Star Seller badge

Etsy reviews Star Seller on the 1st of each month, using your last three months of shop data. To be eligible, your shop has to be at least 90 days past its first sale, meet Etsy's customer service standards, and have at least 5 orders and $300 in sales over those three months. Then it needs all three numbers below. We can help directly with shipping, a little with reviews, and not at all with messages. Etsy says the badge doesn't directly affect your search ranking; it makes your shop easier for buyers to pick out.

95% of ordersOn-time shipping & tracking

This is the number a warehouse can move. Etsy wants 95% of orders shipped on time with valid tracking, or with an Etsy shipping label where one is required. Orders that reach us before 12pm CT ship the same day, every shipment gets a UPS, USPS, or FedEx tracking number, and that number syncs back to the Etsy order. You still set your processing time in Etsy.

4.8 or higherAverage review rating

Reviews mostly come down to your product, so we can't promise the rating. What we can control is getting the right item to the buyer: our order accuracy is 99.99%, and when we make a mistake we fix it at our cost, including return shipping and re-fulfillment.

95% within 24 hoursMessage response rate

This one stays with you. Buyer messages come to you in Etsy, and Etsy measures how quickly you answer the first message in each thread. Handing off packing and shipping frees up the time to answer them.

What Etsy fulfillment costs with Simpl

Pricing starts at $7/order. The per-order rate covers picking, packing, packaging, and postage, and heavier orders cost more than light ones. Storage is billed by small bin, large bin, shelf, or pallet. There's a $750 monthly minimum, billed pay-the-difference: if a month bills under $750, you pay only the gap. That's about 100 shipments at the lightest weight (0.5 lb or under). There's no onboarding fee.

FAQ

Etsy fulfillment FAQ

What does Etsy fulfillment with Simpl cost?
Pricing starts at $7/order. The per-order rate covers picking, packing, packaging, and postage, and heavier orders cost more than light ones. Storage is billed by small bin, large bin, shelf, or pallet. Our pricing page has the full breakdown.
Is there a monthly minimum?
Yes. The minimum is $750 a month, billed pay-the-difference: if your orders bill under $750 in a month, you pay only the gap. At the lightest weight (0.5 lb or under) that's about 100 shipments, and heavier shipments reach it with fewer orders. If your shop ships well under that most months, do the math before you switch.
I pack Etsy orders myself right now. How do I switch?
Start with a quote. Onboarding takes 5–7 days and there's no onboarding fee. During onboarding you connect your Etsy shop and send your inventory to our Austin warehouse, where receiving takes 1–3 days. After that, new Etsy orders come to us and we ship them. You keep running the shop: listings, prices, photos, buyer messages, and reviews.
Do my buyers get emails from Simpl?
No. Simpl doesn't email your buyers. When an order ships, the tracking number syncs back to the Etsy order, and any shipping notice your buyer gets comes from Etsy.
Will using a 3PL affect my Star Seller badge?
It can help with one of the three numbers Etsy checks. To be eligible for Star Seller, your shop has to be at least 90 days past its first sale, meet Etsy's customer service standards, and have at least 5 orders and $300 in sales over the last three months. Then Etsy looks at three numbers: reply to 95% of first messages within 24 hours, ship 95% of orders on time with valid tracking (or an Etsy shipping label, when one is required), and keep an average review rating of 4.8 or higher. Shipping is the part we handle. Orders in before 12pm CT ship the same day, and the tracking number syncs back to the Etsy order. Messages and reviews stay with you.
Why does tracking matter so much on Etsy?
Star Seller only counts an order as on time if it ships with valid tracking, or with an Etsy shipping label when one is required. Tracking also matters for Etsy's Purchase Protection for Sellers, which can cover up to $250 of a refund on a qualifying order. An order qualifies only if it shipped within your processing time with valid tracking or an Etsy label, the listing shows an estimated delivery date, the item matches your listing, your shop is in good standing and meets Etsy's customer service standards, and you answered the buyer's help request within 48 hours. Damage is covered once per calendar year, orders shipping into the US need duties included up front, and if the package has carrier or other insurance, Etsy asks you to claim there first. Every Simpl shipment gets a UPS, USPS, or FedEx tracking number, and it syncs back to the Etsy order.
Do I have to list Simpl as a production partner on Etsy?
No. Etsy defines a production partner as a company that physically produces items from your own designs, such as a printing service, an apparel producer, or an engraver. A warehouse that stores and ships your finished products doesn't make them, so it isn't a production partner. Any production partner you already use to make your items stays on your listings as before.
What if I make or personalize items after they're ordered?
Simpl ships from the inventory you send to our Austin warehouse. If some of your pieces are made or personalized after each order, mention that when you ask for a quote, and we'll talk through which of your listings fit.
Do you work with Shopify and other marketplaces too?
Yes. Simpl integrates with Shopify as well as Etsy, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and TikTok Shop. If you sell in more than one place, list them when you ask for a quote.
How do returns work?
Every Simpl client gets a branded returns portal, included in the service. Returns management is one of our core services, alongside order fulfillment.
