Frequently asked questions
Why do some cells show "—" or "~"?
— means no data yet. ~ means an estimate. For listings KeyLens has just started tracking: 24h orders appear after a few hours, exact 24H views after about a day, and Total Sold gets more accurate over several days.
Are the numbers exact?
Views, favorites, prices, tags and shop sales come straight from Etsy. Total Sold, Revenue and shop revenue are estimates (marked ~) for reference: Etsy does not publish per-listing sales.
Are "hot", "rising" and "copied designs" based on all of Etsy?
No. KeyLens uses a large set of products it tracks. The more niches are tracked, the more complete the data.
Etsy suggestions show an error?
Open (or reload) an etsy.com tab and try again.
Not getting alert notifications?
On Windows: Settings → System → Notifications, turn it on for Google Chrome and turn off Do not disturb. Use the Thử thông báo (Test notification) button in the popup to check.
Is the trademark list complete?
It covers brands that are often reported, for reference only, and is not legal advice. Double-check any design that uses famous names, characters or logos.
