Title not starting with letter or number

How can I solve the issue of product titles not starting with letters or numbers?

Let's learn how to solve the issue of product titles not starting with letters or numbers and upload products to Etsy.

Upload Error: Your product title has Emojis, gifs, pic, etc.

Video tutorial here:


If your product title starts with characters except for letters and numbers, Etsy rejects your title, and you cannot upload your products to Etsy.

Please try to avoid and fix this error by:

1. Go to your Shopify Store.

2. Click on the product with the error. 

3. Change the title and try to avoid those characters.

4. After updating your title, please save it.


Once you update the title on Shopify, it'll be synced into our app, and the product can be uploaded to Etsy successfully.


Please note the following points:

  • Suppose some of the products were submitted already from that feed. In that case, you won't need to resubmit, which means the failed products will also upload automatically.
  • If no products were uploaded earlier from that feed, you'd need to resubmit the feed once.
