Evlista Review – Dont Waste Time, Bulk Edit Etsy Shop Photos Fast
If you’ve got an Etsy shop with a decent number of listings you’ve probably felt the pain of bulk-editing your listings.
Hours spent tediously editing your Etsy listing photos; delete the old, upload a new image, and then publish.

Evlista Features
Evlista keeps it simple by focusing on two main areas of functionality; Editing Etys listings in bulk and providing email functionality that adheres to Etsy’s policies.
Bulk Editing
There are several features when it comes to photo editing.
Some you will find elsewhere, others you will not.
Bulk Edit Photos
You can:
- Add (etsy bulk listing upload images)
- Delete
- Replace
- Photo Edit – You can edit right there within the tool. No need to use another app. Perfect for adding additional info to an infographic
- Revert Photo edits – Reverts back to the previous version of images – ideal if you have added holiday order cut-off dates and want to remove them after the holidays.
- Edit Alt Text – Soooo useful as many sellers still haven’t updated alt text. You should!
Bulk Edit Tags
Bulk Editing Tags is another key feature of Evlisata.
It allows you to create Tag profiles that can then be applied to listings in bulk.
Say you’ve created in draft 25 versions of a product and want to use 10 of the same tags in each, simply create the tag profile once and apply it to all 25 of the listings.
Bulk Edit Variations
Variation Bulk Edit works in a similar way to Tags.
You create a variation profile and can apply it to as many items as you sell.
Again, if you create draft listings for products that have a lot of variations, then this tool will save you a lot of time.
Create the profile and then bulk add them to your listings.
Bulk Edit Videos
Etsy puts a lot of importance on including videos of your products in your listings.
This enables your customer to review the products in your store and learn all they need to before making a purchase.
Unlike its competitors, Evlista enables you to add and delete videos in bulk.
If you have a video about your production process that you need to update and add to lots of listings, this function is ideal.
Evlista Email
Building your own email list is important.
Having a sale? Email and let people know.
Launching a new product line? Drop out an email.
This will get views to new listings which send Etsy a signal that the listing is worth ranking higher in Etsy Search.
If you ever want to move away from Etsy, having an email list means you can let people know about your new store.
There are two types of campaigns, Automated and Newsletter.
Automated are things like Order Confirmation, Shipment Confirmation and Review Request that trigger based on obvious criteria, new transactions, shipping a product etc.
For each one, you can create a template that helps your business look far more professional.
The template builder is simple and easy to use. The prebuilt template (see below) is easy to edit and is so more impressive than the standard message you get via Etsy.
Evlista will record users who subscribe (from a link in one of your emails) and will also show the Email activity e.g. % opened.
The only thing missing is the ability to get the link to your email list and add a landing page for people to sign up.
Evlista Pricing
Evlista offers a 7 day free trial that you can use for either the Baisc or Pro plan.
You have to enter your card details to sign up.
When you sign up, set a reminder in your calendar to cancel the subscription in 6 days time just in case
The key difference between the plans is that with Pro you get Email Marketing, Bulk Video, and Variation Editing.
At $10 per month, if paying monthly and $60 for the whole year, the Pro plan offers great value especially if you are using the email feature.
Evlista Alternatives
There are a number of Evlista alternatives but they are all either more expensive or come with fewer features.
Evlista alternatives include:
- GetVela
- Sellbrite
- Zetsy
- ShopShaper
- EtsyOnSale
Who Needs Evlista
Me. I’ve signed up and I plan to keep it.
My time is worth more than $60 per year.
Every holiday season I used to spend hours changing my infographics with holiday specific information.
Now, I can do that in literally a couple of minutes.
If your store has more than 50 listings, this tool is worth it due to the time it saves you.
Evlista is also right for those who want their shop to look more like a business than a hobby.
Using the email campaigns for both the auto-generated emails and a newsletter will really help your store.
Make sure you set up the Review Request. More reviews are proven to result in more orders over the long term.
If you want your shop to look more professional then set up the auto emails.

Evlista Review – Conclusion
If you’re an Etsy seller with more than 50 listings, you are going to need to want to use Evlista to bulk edit listings in your Etsy shop.
It saves time so you can focus on other things.
The email functionality is an added bonus too. Sending more professional order confirmation email helps your business look like a business, so for $60 a year (when paid annually), it is well worth it.

If you only want the email functionality, then I would suggest checking out other options like EverBee as that has lots of additional functionality alongside email.
