Manage your Etsy account with your team

Learn how to create a Team with SessionBox, automate the login on Etsy.com and collaborate on the same account.

Using SessionBox One to Collaborate on Etsy

Within the sphere of online platforms and marketplaces such as Etsy, success hinges greatly on efficiency and collaboration. SessionBox One presents a stellar solution for overseeing numerous users within a unique account, enabling teams to enhance their coordination and task management significantly on platforms that are not including this feature.

Get Started and Create a Team

One of the primary functionalities of SessionBox One is its Team feature. Teams can be effortlessly created, allowing different users to work harmoniously within a shared account environment. Here’s a simplified guide on how to create a team and login on Etsy, using Selenium to automate the process:

  • Step 1: To share profiles with others, you can create a space. To do this, open up SessionBox One and navigate to "Settings". Click on ‘Manage Spaces’, and create one, by specifying a name, color and the collaborators. Once it is done, you can go back to your IDE and assign profiles to this space, which means that profile will be shared with the collaborators.
main.tsx
async function initializeSessionBox() {
    const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY;
    if (!apiKey) {
        throw new Error('API_KEY is not defined.');
    }
    const { api, selenium } = await sessionBoxInit(apiKey);
    return { api, selenium };
}
  • Step 2: Create your Team, assign a name / color and navigate to the login page of etsy.com
main.tsx
async function createSharedSessionBoxProfile(api: any) {
    let profile;
    const teams = await api.listTeams();
    const teamName = 'SessionBox One Space';

    const teamId = teams.find((team: any) => team.name === teamName)?.teamId
    if (!teamId) {
        throw new Error(`Team with name ${teamName} not found.`);
    } 
    profile = await api.createProfile(ColorNames.RED, 'group', teamId, 'name', 'https://www.etsy.com/signin', 'local');
    return profile;
}
  • Step 3: Login to your account and access your merchant dashboard.
main.tsx
async function login(selenium: any, profileId: string, email: string, password: string) {
    let driver;
    try {
        driver = await selenium.openExistingProfile(profileId);
       
        const emailField = await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.id('join_neu_email_field')), 5000);
        emailField.click();
        emailField.sendKeys(email);

        const passwordField = await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.id('join_neu_password_field')), 5000);
        passwordField.click();
        passwordField.sendKeys(password);

        let loginButton = await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.xpath('//*[@id="join-neu-form"]/div[1]/div/div[7]/div/button')), 5000).catch(() => null);
        if (!loginButton) {
          loginButton = await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.xpath('//button[text()="Sign in"]')), 5000).catch(() => null);
        }
        if (!loginButton) {
          throw new Error("Unable to locate the login button");
        }
    
        await driver.wait(until.elementIsVisible(loginButton), 5000);
        await loginButton.click();
    
        // Wait for a few seconds to let the login process complete
        await driver.sleep(5000);

        const acceptButton = await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.xpath('//*[@id="gdpr-single-choice-overlay"]/div/div[2]/div[2]/button')), 5000);
        acceptButton.click();

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('An error occurred:', error);
    } finally {
        if (driver) {
            await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100000));
            await driver.quit();
        }
    }
}
  • Step 4: Lastly, you'll need to include a main function. Call the init function and the createSharedSessionBoxProfile function here.
main.tsx
async function main() {
    const { api, selenium } = await initializeSessionBox();
    const profile = await createSharedSessionBoxProfile(api);
    const profileId = profile.id;
    login(selenium, profileId, 'yourEmail', 'yourPassword');
}

Exemple of Use cases

One of the greatest advantages is the ability to delegate tasks among team members, without risking to expose your credentials. It's also a perfect solution to avoid bans and geo restrictions. For exemple, you can delegate those actions among your team:

  • Image Uploads One user can handle image uploads, ensuring high-quality visuals for products.

  • Text Editing Another user might focus on content creation and editing, maintaining consistency and clarity in product descriptions.

  • Customer Management Another user might focus on managing the messages from potential customers.

... and many more.
