Q: How can I offer a variety of shoes with different colored shoelaces under one listing in my Etsy store?

We previously provide only black and white shoelace options, now we allow sellers to add different color shoelace options for shoes under one listing.

Follow the steps below to know how to make it happen!

Step 1: Choose a shoelace color

You are allowed to choose different shoelace colors for different colors of soles. For example, I choose a yellow shoelace and a red shoelace for low top canvas shoes. 

Click Save then you’ll see the mockup with the different color shoelaces.

Go to My Designs to find the shoes that you saved, and click Edit design to edit the color of the shoelace.

Change the color of the shoelace and click Save As New. In this way, you can create many shoes with different shoelace colors quickly and conveniently.

Step 2: Publish to your store

Go to My Designs, publish these shoes to your Etsy store one by one.

Then go to Stores – Synced designs, click Edit on Etsy, or go to your Etsy store to edit listing.

Click Manage Variations to delete original Color options and create new options in Etsy.

Add the shoelace color and sole color like “Black+color (all sizes…) / White+color (all sizes…)

Go to My Designs – Attribute, copy each sku from POPCUSTOMS and paste to the new option.

Finally, click Publish with changes, these shoes will be combined with different colored laces and sold in your Etsy store.

*Please kindly noted that your customer will receive the shoes with the lace color they chose.
