# How it works

> Connect, confirm, check, fix, prove: how SellReady turns the regulations for Austria and Germany into concrete tasks for your Etsy shop.

## From Etsy shop to a clear task list.

Five steps, usually under ten minutes to your first result. After that, SellReady keeps working in the background and lets you know when something changes.

### Connect your Etsy shop

You sign in at Etsy and allow SellReady to read your shop. Nothing more.

### Confirm your products

SellReady reads categories, materials and titles and suggests which traits matter – fragrances, skin contact or food contact, for example.

### See what is missing per country

A versioned rule set checks every listing for Austria and Germany. The result is a status per country – with reasoning and source.

### Work through bundled tasks

The same gap across many listings becomes one task. You create a manufacturer or packaging profile once and assign it to every affected product.

### Keep your documents in one place

Registrations, safety data sheets and manufacturer declarations are stored with versions in one place – linked to the tasks that need them.

## What SellReady does not do

A good rule-based check knows its limits. These ones are deliberate.

### No legal services

We provide a rule-based check with sources, not an assessment of your individual case. Where we show “Manual review”, we recommend expert support.

### No changes to your shop

SellReady only has read access. Listings, prices and texts stay exactly as you created them.

### No automatic entries in Etsy

Etsy does not offer manufacturer and EU responsible person fields through its API. We prepare the details, you enter them yourself.

### No registrations on your behalf

You handle the LUCID registration or joining a packaging scheme yourself – we show you what is needed and where.

### No guessing

If details are missing, the status is “Info missing” – never “Ready”.

### No AI decisions

The status comes exclusively from the versioned rule set. You always have to confirm suggestions.

### No special product groups

Cosmetics, toys, food and electrical goods have their own rules. We mark them “Not covered”.
