A project failed: what happens to my credits?
When a pipeline fails, Elistit refunds your credits and retries up to 3 times. How to read the failure, when to wait, and when to contact support.
Getting help
How support tickets work, what to put in one so the first reply solves it, what we can already see about your shop, and where the faster answers are.
Your settings
What each settings tab controls, and where the two things that used to live here moved to.
Notification settings
What counts as a follow-up, which emails cannot be switched off and why, and where the in-app banners come from.
Giving someone access
What a delegate can and cannot do in your shop, why their work comes out of your credits, and the difference between revoking access and revoking it immediately.
Billing & credits
How credits work, what each action costs, plans, invoices, refunds.
How to Choose a Plan
Compare Elistit's pricing plans and find the right fit for your Etsy shop's production volume.
How the credit system works
One credit is one cent of product-creation budget. How plan credits are granted, when they roll over, when they expire, and when you are charged.
How credits are used per product
What each product type costs in credits, why clipart counts round up to the next tier, and what you are never charged for.
Billing, Invoices & Refund Policy
Answers to common questions about billing, invoices, payment methods, and refunds.
Pricing your products
What the benchmarks are based on, which Etsy fees the calculators model and which they cannot, and how to price a product the page does not cover.

Tips for Better AI-Generated Images
Get better results from Elistit's AI image generation with these practical prompting tips.
How Image Upscaling Works
Learn how Elistit's AI upscaler turns your images into 300 DPI print-ready files at any standard size.
Using Market Intelligence
How to read the Market page: what each of the four tabs shows, what the opportunity score and confidence dot mean, and what has already been filtered out before you see anything.
Keyword research
What the keyword page generates, why it is suggestions rather than measured search volume, how to judge the output, and where real market signals live.
Analysing a listing
What the listing analysis reads, why it does not show market prices or competitor numbers, and how to judge the critique it gives you.
Saving Styles
What a saved style fills in, when a reference image is worth adding, and why styles belong to one shop rather than your whole account.
Projects & product types
How each pipeline behaves: wall art, posters, clipart, greeting cards, SVG, custom, and Bring-Your-Own-Art.
Approving a clipart batch
Clipart projects pause for your review before delivery. What to check, how to approve or regenerate, and what happens next.
Posters: the one physical product
Posters are Elistit's only physical product. You list the design, and the buyer gets a shipped print, never a file. The print-ready master is produced when a poster sells.
Bring Your Own Art (BYOA): uploading your existing designs
Already have artwork? Skip generation and run your own files through Elistit's upscale, processing, and listing pipeline at a flat credit cost.
Aspect ratios: which one to pick
Wall art uses 3:4 or 4:3, posters 2:3 or 3:2, clipart and SVG 1:1, greeting cards 5:7. Why each product type is locked to its own set of ratios.
Choosing a generation model
Each product type lets you pick the AI model for your images. Cheaper models are faster and cost less; premium models give better composition and detail.
Product setup: templates, defaults and what each type delivers
The Products tab in Branding sets the fixed listing text, buyer PDF and creation defaults for one product type at a time, including the one type that ships a physical print instead of a file.
Etsy & integrations
Connect your shop, auto-draft listings, file delivery, and integrate Elistit with the rest of your stack.
How to Connect Your Etsy Shop
Connect your Etsy shop so every completed project creates a draft listing directly in your shop manager, title, tags, mockups, and files attached.
Draft Listing Creation
When you complete a project, Elistit creates an Etsy draft listing with title, tags, description, mockups, and files attached, ready for your review.
Using the Etsy dashboard
How to read the /etsy page: where each number comes from, why the headline figures show a named day rather than today, and what every panel is telling you to do next.
My Etsy draft listing didn't publish: what's wrong?
If a finished project didn't create an Etsy draft, it's nearly always one of three things: token expired, missing shipping profile, or missing taxonomy.
Where are my files? (Drive folder + R2 expiry)
Completed projects deliver files to your Google Drive in a tidy folder structure. The temporary download links expire after 72 hours; the Drive copy stays.
One Etsy shop per workspace
Elistit uses a strict one-shop-per-workspace model. Each Etsy shop gets its own workspace; switching workspaces switches shop, branding and connection.
What the Plan can change in your shop
Elistit prepares listing changes but never applies them on its own. What a prepared change is, what approving one does to your live Etsy listing, and how to undo it.
Refresh, renew, expire: listing upkeep and what Etsy charges
What refreshing a listing changes, what Etsy's US$0.20 listing fee is charged for, and when letting a listing expire is the better decision.
Your daily Etsy check
What the Today page is for, how it differs from the Etsy dashboard, what each card is asking you to do, and why an empty page is a good result.
Tag anchors explained
What a universal anchor tag is, the thresholds Elistit measures against, how they square with Etsy's advice to vary your tags, and where the idea has limits.
Editing a listing
What the listing editor changes on Etsy, what the score measures, why it asks for shorter titles than most advice, and what happens to the AI disclosure paragraph.
Star Seller and your reviews
What the Star Seller card measures, why the average it shows can differ from the one on Etsy, and which parts of Star Seller Elistit cannot see.
PrintShrimp and posters
How poster fulfilment works, what Elistit sends to PrintShrimp and what it deliberately does not, and the setup step that decides whether an order ships at all.
Your listings grid
What the listings page shows, what each status means, which way edits travel between Elistit and Etsy, and why your listing count can differ from Etsy's.
The listing quality score
What the score on each listing measures, the five things it weighs, what the weak point label means, and what the score deliberately cannot tell you.
Webhooks
How to get listing data out of Elistit into Make.com or your own tools, the difference between the account webhook and the per-shop one, and how to verify a delivery is genuine.
Editing listings in bulk
How selection works, what each bulk action does, which ones cost money, why some listings get skipped, and how to read the result.
Reading your analytics
What each number on the analytics page measures, how the date range and filters behave, what the funnel does and does not tell you, and where the data starts.
Why your numbers differ from Etsy's
Elistit and Etsy can show different figures for the same shop and both be right. The five reasons why, and which one to trust for what.
Using Shop Pulse
What Pulse watches for, what each alert severity means, how the refresh queue and opportunities are chosen, and what dismissing an alert does.
What each Pulse alert means
The conditions Pulse detects, what each one is telling you about the listing, and what is worth doing about it.
Replying to reviews
How the drafted replies work, the difference between the public response and the private message, why Elistit never posts them, and when to use which.
Your daily briefing
What the Briefing is, where every number on it comes from, why it never touches your shop, and what to do when it looks empty or unchanged.
How Elistit measures time saved
The hours-saved figure on your briefing is measured from your own create-to-draft times against a deliberately conservative manual baseline. Exactly what is counted, and what is not.
Briefing, Assistant or Plan: which one do I want?
The three AI Shop Manager tabs do different jobs. Briefing tells you where to look, the Assistant helps you make something, and the Plan holds changes waiting for your approval.
How Elistit measures whether a change worked
The Plan compares the 14 days before an approved change with the 14 days after. The five verdicts, the exact thresholds, and why the dollar figure is a comparison rather than a claim about cause.
Your Shop Brain: what the assistant remembers
The Memory tab is the assistant's long-term memory of your shop. Where each note came from, how to correct or delete one, what pinning does, and why it is per shop.
What your brand voice changes, and what it does not
The four fields on the Brand Voice tab are read by your listing copy, your assistant, your social captions and your market intelligence. What each one does, and what it does not touch.
Social assets: what they cost and why nothing changed
The five profile and cover images Elistit builds from your brand, when generating one is free, when it costs credits, and why regenerating an unchanged brand hands back the same set.
Shop identity: your logo, colours and the 7-day undo
How the four brand colours become the ink and paper used across your listings, what happens when you leave one blank, and how to get your previous brand back.
