Commercial API access pending
Reviewer information
A narrow use case, stated plainly.
This page describes the intended Etsy API integration for Emberex Etsy Review Carousel and the limits Emberex commits to maintaining.
Purpose
Emberex Etsy Review Carousel is a seller-authorised tool. It is intended to allow Etsy sellers to display their own existing Etsy shop and listing reviews on their own Shopify storefront, with clear Etsy attribution and links back to Etsy.
The integration will use Etsy’s official API only after Etsy grants the required approval. Until then, Emberex does not make Etsy API requests and does not represent the connection as available.
Authorisation and data scope
Each seller will explicitly authorise access to their own Etsy shop. Emberex will request only the permissions and fields Etsy approves as necessary to retrieve and display that seller’s existing review content.
Review display data may include the review text, rating, review date, reviewer display name where supplied by Etsy, and the Etsy shop or listing link needed for attribution. Emberex will not use buyer email addresses or sales data.
What Emberex will not do
- Scrape Etsy pages or use unofficial data sources.
- Collect new reviews or solicit reviews from Etsy buyers.
- Edit review text, ratings or dates.
- Send emails or other messages to Etsy buyers.
- Read, analyse or repurpose seller sales data.
- Bypass, replace or interfere with Etsy checkout.
- Present itself as endorsed, certified or operated by Etsy.
Freshness and caching
Review data will be cached only as needed to deliver the storefront widget. Refresh and deletion behaviour will follow the caching and freshness limits in Etsy’s then-current API Terms of Use. Emberex will not retain API data merely to build an independent review database.
Attribution
The widget is designed to identify Etsy as the source and provide links back to Etsy. Emberex will not use Etsy’s logo or imitate Etsy’s visual identity unless Etsy separately permits that use.
The term 'Etsy' is a trademark of Etsy, Inc. This application uses the Etsy API but is not endorsed or certified by Etsy, Inc.
Policy and security review
Before enabling the integration, Emberex will review the implementation and public wording against the current Etsy API Terms of Use, Open API documentation and applicable trademark rules. Access remains disabled if the implementation or business use is not approved.
