Etsy permissions requested
- transactions_r
- Read authorized-shop receipts, transactions, payments, fees, shipping, and relevant ledger details.
- shops_r
- Read the connected seller's shop identity and shop sections.
- listings_r
- Read the seller's listings, images, inventory, SKUs, prices, quantities, materials, and variations.
- listings_w
- Update the available quantity of a linked Etsy listing when its seller enables Etsy–eBay inventory sync.
Meldsy does not use these permissions to change Etsy orders or send buyer messages. Quantity sync is optional for each linked listing pair.
eBay permissions requested
Meldsy requests eBay authorization to read a seller's inventory, orders, and relevant financial details and to update available quantities for linked listings when inventory sync is enabled. It does not use eBay permissions to send buyer messages or place orders.
Optional Pinterest publishing
Connecting Pinterest is optional. Meldsy requests board, Pin, and account access to offer board choices, publish seller-authorized content, and report organic impressions and clicks. Campaigns and enabled rules use listing photos, product links, seller-controlled copy, and the listing state already saved in Meldsy. Sales-threshold rules are evaluated locally; buyer identities, contact details, and order notes are not sent to Pinterest.
New accounts start with automation rules off. You can choose draft approval instead of automatic publishing, pause campaigns, disable rules, or disconnect Pinterest.
How store data relates to seller-entered costs
Sellers create their own material, purchase-lot, production, packing, and workflow records. Meldsy connects those entries to the seller's listings and combines completed-order costs with relevant marketplace financial details to estimate profit and margin. Production-stage choices remain seller controlled.
Uses Meldsy does not make
- No sale of seller or buyer information.
- No paid-ad management or buyer retargeting. Optional organic Pinterest publishing is seller enabled and does not share buyer information.
- No unsolicited buyer email, text, order, shipping, or tracking messages.
- No machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model training using Etsy content.
- No scraping or access outside Etsy's supported API.
Retention and control
Connected-store tokens are encrypted and removed when a seller disconnects. Store-originated records are retained only as reasonably needed for the seller's workspace and can be permanently deleted through the disconnect flow. Seller-created materials and settings can remain independent of either store connection. Disconnecting Pinterest removes its authorization and pauses pending publishing while retaining drafts, campaigns, and historical metrics; it does not delete Pins already published on Pinterest.
