Introduction

In this article, you will learn how the Alpidi.com platform works for Etsy shop owners. From product listing and selecting production partners to pricing strategies and managing shipping, we will walk through every step in detail. The information is based on a long-format training video created by Alpidi’s founder.

1. Define What You Will Sell and Your Target Audience

Choosing the right products is key to aligning with your target audience. Decide which age group, interest area, or theme you want to focus on—this decision forms the foundation of your business journey.

2. Open Your Etsy Shop

Once you’ve defined your products and audience, open your Etsy store to begin your e-commerce journey. Make sure to carefully set up your store name, logo, and descriptions.

3. Register on Alpidi

Visit alpidi.com and create a “Shop Owner” account.

Fill out the registration form and confirm your email.
You can log in using your Google account.
If you have a referral code, enter it. If not, you can leave it blank.

4. Connect Your Etsy Store to Alpidi

After logging in, click “Connect Now” to link your Etsy shop to Alpidi.
If you are already logged into Etsy in the same browser, the system will automatically request authorization.
Once approved, all listings from your shop will sync to Alpidi.

5. Choose and Manage Production Partners

Alpidi currently offers access to over 15 production partners.
Partners are categorized as either “established” or “new.”
You can review each partner’s portfolio, production methods (e.g., DTF, heat press), location, and shipping speed.
Select your preferred partners to streamline order fulfillment.

6. Prepare Your Product Listings

Through Alpidi, you can access detailed product data provided by production partners:

Color and size options (charts available)
Production cost
Handling fee (often $0)
Product model and brand (e.g., Gildan 64000 t-shirt)

With this information, you can create detailed and accurate product listings for Etsy.

7. Shipping Costs and Dynamic Pricing

Alpidi uses dynamic shipping rates based on the buyer’s location.
Domestic U.S. shipping typically averages around $4.50.
For production partners based in Turkey (e.g., in Samsun), integration with ShipEntegra enables affordable 5–9 day delivery to the U.S.

8. Profitability Example

Here’s a simple cost-profit breakdown:

Production: $15
Handling: $1
Shipping: $5
Total Cost: $21
Etsy Sale Price: $41
Etsy Fee (~20%): $8.20
Net Profit: $11.80

With this margin, selling just 10 products a day can earn you $3,540/month in net income.

9. Refunds and Support Mechanism

If there are issues with a product after production, you can request a refund or a reprint.
Upload customer complaint images through the Alpidi system to process refunds.
All support requests can be made through the Alpidi support panel.

Conclusion

Alpidi.com offers a powerful backend for Etsy sellers—connecting you with reliable manufacturers, automating listings, managing dynamic shipping, and supporting refund workflows. The more you explore the platform, the more value you’ll gain.
