An Etsy shop runs on small numbers checked often. How many orders shipped. What the week brought in. Which listing gets looked at and never bought.
Shop Manager shows you some of this, one screen at a time. Connect Etsy to ChatGPT through CorpusIQ and the same checks become questions. You ask, and the answer comes back with the orders and listings behind it.
The problem with the current workflow
Revenue, orders and stats live in different views, each with its own date picker. Comparing this week to last means two trips. Checking refund rate for the quarter means exporting and dividing in a sheet.
Sellers who also run a Shopify store do it twice. Two dashboards, two sets of numbers, one spreadsheet to reconcile them.
How CorpusIQ solves it
CorpusIQ exposes Etsy to ChatGPT through the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets an AI assistant call external tools. ChatGPT can read your listings, orders, reviews, messages and transaction history.
Read-only. ChatGPT cannot edit listings, refund orders or reply to buyers.
Current. Each question reads Etsy when you ask it.
Revocable. Disconnect in CorpusIQ or remove access from your Etsy account.
What to ask
Paste these into ChatGPT once Etsy is connected.
- "How many Etsy orders shipped last week and what was the revenue?"
- "Which listings are getting the most views but the fewest sales?"
- "Pull every five-star review from the last 30 days."
- "What is my Etsy refund rate this quarter?"
- "Compare Etsy revenue to Shopify revenue for last month."
- "Show me listings with declining favorites in the past 60 days."
- "Which payouts landed this month?"
- "Which recent message threads mention a shipping problem?"
Follow-ups work. Ask for last week's revenue, pick the top listing, then ask how many of its orders were refunded.
Example report: last week's orders and revenue
This is the shape of answer you get for the first question. The numbers are illustrative.
How many Etsy orders shipped last week and what was the revenue?
- 126orders shippedlast 7 days
- $4,860revenuefrom those orders
- 3listings above $800of five shown
What to act on: Three listings bring in most of the week. Check their stock levels first, then their refund rate.

Pair it with a CorpusIQ skill
The connector answers questions. Skills turn answers into a routine. There is no Etsy-specific skill yet, so for a recurring Etsy review, ask the same set of questions on the same day each week. If you also sell on Shopify, the Ecommerce Command Center covers refunds, product profitability and ad performance across Shopify, Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, GA4 and QuickBooks.

Where this earns its keep
A Monday pull of orders shipped, revenue and refund rate takes a minute instead of a spreadsheet session. The listing question pays off fastest. A listing with heavy views and few sales points at a photo, price or title worth fixing. A listing with falling favorites is an early warning.
Reviews work the same way. Pulling the last 30 days of five-star reviews gives you quotes for your listings without scrolling.
What to watch out for
Views and favorites are the signals the Etsy API exposes, so they will not match every stat you see in Shop Manager. Revenue from orders and money from payouts are different figures, so say which one you want. And a refund rate over a short window on a small shop swings with a single order. Use the quarter, not the week.
Read-only also means ChatGPT will not reply to a buyer. That stays with you.
