Stock Level in Variations
Can we please have the ability to include stock levels in variations. We can include variations in price, but not the number of items available in each variation. Consequently if a particular item is sold out, it doesn’t reflect that in the listing.

Link to Folksy interview for featured sellers.
Would it be possible for previous featured sellers to have a link to their Folksy interview where the star is presently - ?
It may help in promoting in yourself as you can share your processes etc, and people can find out more about the maker if they want to.
thanks -x-
4 votesYou can now find a link to each of the featured seller interviews on this page – https://folksy.com/featured/sellers. We agree it would also be good to link to the interviews directly from the shop page, so we’ll hopefully be able to introduce that at some point too.

How do I find my 'favourites' please?
Difficult to find the favourites link (although I am using folksy via Instagram on small iPhone). Could be more obvious perhaps in your ''menu" have an obvious symbol for 'my favourites'. This might already exist. Just giving my feedback. 😂 This is an awesome website 🙌🙌 Love art myself and when I have more time in the future I'd love to get back into it x

It would be useful if we could create a free postage code, rather than a discount code. Or even just a code that we could set the value of - a little bit like a gift voucher redeemed on Purchases.
That way we could introduce new buyers to our shops with a free postage offer - or it could be given or used for people in our local area.22 votes -
IT would be useful if we could have a download to save of all of our listings in our shops.
I would find it very useful if i could take a download of all of the listings in my shop. Would this be possible please?

Environmental Statement
I was wondering if there were any plans to have an environmental policy statement/section for shops? I would be keen to have this as a link in the top section of my shop, similar to the links for ‘Buying from me’ and ‘Privacy policy’.
At the moment I’m listing some of my environmental standards in my ‘About’ section but as information that’s put there is freeform and individual to each seller, as a buyer I wouldn’t necessarily know to look there to get this kind of information. A brand’s environmental standards are certainly something that affect my purchase decisions and…

The ability to use CSV files for bulk uploads of new inventory.
Using a CSV file with all your data under sub headings allows you to upload all of your inventory in one upload rather than having to list all items individually and would save a ridiculous amount of time.

Wedding Gifts
I mainly supply personalised gifts, mainly to the wedding market. Im so surprised you do not have a wedding gifts category. You have a thank you gifts for bridesmaids etc. Is there any chance of adding a new category of wedding gifts or even personalised gifts or both. Thank you Fiddlestick Crafts

Password change suggestion
Could Folksy provide a "confirm new password" or a "show " icon when a new password is made?
It's too easy to make a new word, misspell it, not be able to check it then drive yourself crazy retyping it.
I know there's a link for a forgotten password; that's fine if you also remember you've changed you email details!1 vote -
Stock identification numbers
It would be useful for us to be able to give each item we list an individual stock number when listing an item so we can easily identify which item has been sold.
For instance our seaweed themed decorations are all slightly different but very similar to look at on a photo online. I label each item here before it goes into stock but when one is sold on Folksy i have to go by the pictures to know which particular one has been ordered. Having a stock number would tell me instantly which item to go to.4 votes -
Search for producers by location
If I wanted to buy local to where I live is there a way of searching for local producers or is it a option you could add?

Free Shipping option if buyer lives in your local area/vicinity
Could we have a Free Shipping option (only available to buyers who live in your immediate local area/vicinity?). You can deliver it in person @ the buyer's house once payment is received.
This would be better than buyer coming to your house.

Search facility within listings
Hello, I have brought this up before, but it was a good while back. I really think a search facility is needed when we are managing our listings.
I currently have three pages of listings, and although archaic it is possible to use CTRL &F to try to search, but it isn't possible from a mobile.
I have closed my shop previously due to the unmanageable dashboard/clumsy workarounds, and hoped it had been resolved, especially as a decent Stats system had been recently given a facelift.
Also the option to delete/hide a listing when viewing the item would be very…

Billing information split
I have a plus account and re list some items every day. When I get my bill there are hundreds of entries to go through to check it, particularly when my bill has rolled over 2 or 3 months, because orders are mixed in with the listings. If possible could the bill have 2 sections...one showing listing fees, and a separate section listing orders?

I had an enquiry from a buyer through Folksy las week wanting to know if I could supply an item that she thought was the perfect item in time for an anniversary gift. I replied immediately. And was surprised that someone so keen did not come back so I emailed another 2 times .....apologising in case she had changed her mind and wondering if my reply had arrived.
She replied yesterday saying that she had only just seen my reply in her spam folder........she thought I had not replied and had bought elsewhere.
One, this makes me look like I…31 votes -
Collection Descriptions
It would be great if there could be a format where we could add a description at the top of each Collection page.

Collections Menu at the side on product pages
It would be really great if there could be a side menu of our collections when customers click on individual product pages. It would make navigation much easier for them, as they could go back into the collection they were in to look at more products, or switch categories. It saves them time when ordering multiple items, and makes our stores much more user friendly.

A category for leathercrafts
A category for Leather, leather crafts, tools etc.
As this is becoming a very popular craft, but there is no real provision within the categories.

Membership only by Approval
I have written to the Folksy operators to suggest that membership of Folksy should be "juried" or, perhaps a more appropriate term, "following approval". Folksy has a clear and serious problem dealing with the removal of unsuitable shops, products and applicants from the listings. This is primarily due to the easy, more-or-less-instant application process that is currently used.
Applications should include not only the person's UK address details but also a general description of the goods to be sold, along with actual images of a few products. It does mean that Folksy staff would have to manually check and approve…
