Etsy Updates Seller Tools, Adds Performance-Data Insights
Etsy launched enhanced Marketplace Insights (March 30, 2026) with week-over-week keyword trends, saved searches (up to 50), and targeted offer performance metrics now visible in Sales & Discounts. Features are in beta and rolling out gradually — not all sellers have access yet.
The targeted offer conversion rate and revenue-per-offer metrics are the real win here — sellers running Etsy promotions have been flying blind on ROI. If you manage Etsy shops alongside Amazon/Walmart brands, this is a signal to audit promotional spend efficiency across all platforms using comparable metrics.
Etsy is closing the analytics gap with Amazon's more mature advertising and listing tools — part of a broader platform trend where marketplaces compete for seller loyalty by improving data transparency rather than just traffic.
Check Sales & Discounts in Etsy Shop Manager -- if your targeted offer conversion rate is below your average listing CVR, kill or restructure that promotion immediately.
Save your top 50 high-volume keywords in Marketplace Insights now to establish a week-over-week baseline before Q4 demand shifts.

Etsy's new offer metrics finally let sellers measure promotional ROI directly.

Full Coverage
published a roundup of changes it has made to seller tools this year, including changes to the seller listing form and its insights tool designed to help sellers make data-driven decisions. It will use the new page launched today (March 30) to provide further updates over time.
Etsy had previously announced changes to the listing form when it informed sellers it would begin to auto-fill certain fields such as shipping profiles and return policies using information previously used by sellers.
Some of the changes Etsy described will roll out gradually to sellers, such as a new Shop Manager page designed to make it more intuitive to change settings and to make it clearer how shop sections appear to visitors.
One change that remains in beta testing is designed to give sellers smarter insights to grow: Enhanced Marketplace Insights and new targeted offer reporting “help sellers optimize listings, promotions, and inventory with clearer performance data.”
In a section titled, “Enhanced search tools in Marketplace Insights,” Etsy provided the following information: We created the Marketplace Insights tool last year to help you identify keyword opportunities and understand search trends.
As we continue improving the tool, we’re testing updates to make tracking trends and refining your listings even simpler: Week-over-week trends: Quickly see whether buyer interest in a search term is rising or falling week over week, so you can adjust listings or inventory based on demand.
Saved searches: Save up to 50 searches to easily revisit and monitor keywords over time. Similar search term sorting: Sort keyword ideas by search volume or number of listings to compare opportunities. Improved keyword ideas (English only): Discover more relevant and creative related keyword ideas to help you identify new search terms to target.
Use thumbs up or down to help improve suggestions. These features are currently being tested and may not be visible to all sellers. In a section titled “Targeted offer performance at a glance,” Etsy wrote: “Performance metrics for targeted offers are now visible directly in Sales and discounts.
The new table shows key data like offers sent, purchases, conversion rate, and revenue per offer, so you can see what’s working and plan your next promotion with confidence.” Last week, ecommerce consultant and Etsy expert Cindy Baldassi published an analysis of some of the changes she had spotted in a post on her CindyLouWho2 Patreon.
