How to Beat Etsy’s 2-Week CSV Export Delay

If you’ve logged into your Etsy shop lately and noticed your CSV order exports are lagging by up to two weeks, you’re not alone.

Over the past month, tens of thousands of sellers have reported this issue. Here in this article, we’ll explain why the delay is happening, share real-world seller experiences, and show you exactly how Craftybase’s automatic order import can rescue your workflow, with no more waiting around for CSVs.

So, What’s Causing the 2-Week Delay?

Sellers first noticed exports stuck in “processing” status for days, then weeks; support threads in Etsy’s Technical Issues forum grew from a trickle to multiple pages of complaints in under two weeks.

• “My June 1 orders only showed up in my CSV on June 14,” wrote one frustrated seller.
• Another reported, “I can’t reconcile my books or ship orders—Etsy’s CSV tool has just vanished.”

The important thing to note here is that this issue doesn’t appear a one-off glitch: Etsy acknowledged in late July via a support reply to a seller that this delay is now intentional:

As of July 14, 2025, Etsy has implemented a two-week delay on the most recent order information included in the Orders CSV export. This means that when you download your Orders CSV, it will only include orders up to two weeks prior to the current date. I understand this impacts how you manage your workflow, especially with a high volume of orders.

Why Etsy has implemented this change is yet to be known, so the only thing to do right now is to reassess your order management processes to ensure you aren’t caught out by this change.

It’s clear that thousands of Etsy sellers currently rely on their Order CSV files for up-to-date order data for a range of different tasks, including customer issues, picking and packing, and calculating sales tax, VAT, and import duties across multiple states and countries.

Why Automatic Order Import Is the Only Real Fix

It is however the time to say that having a manual CSV download process central to your operations is not the most optimal option for your business in 2025. There are now plenty of options out there that will automatically import your data directly from Etsy’s servers, securely and safely, no downloading or excel spreadsheet wrangling required.

One option to consider is Craftybase’s Etsy Order Management feature - this bypasses the need for CSV exports altogether, so you can get around the delay right away.

Here’s how it works:

• Real-Time Sync: Craftybase connects via Etsy’s API, pulling your new products and orders multiple times per day - no waiting, just order data when you need it.

• Unified Dashboard: All orders, regardless of shop or platform, live in one place alongside your inventory, production tasks, and costing data.

• Zero Manual Steps: Once you authorize the connection, orders flow in automatically - no clicks or confirmations required. Simple and easy.
