How does it work?
Configuring
The extension collects your already public listings information, and temporarily stores on server. Configuring is done once in every 12h. You can see when it configured last in the bottom left corner.
Exchanging hearts
The extension connects to its server and requests someone else's listing. It will then favorite that listing. If that listing is successfully faved, some user now owes you a fave. You are now prioritized to receive a fave back.
It's automatic
The point of this tool is to save time. It does what you would have otherwise done. It does its work in separate tab, so you can even continue working on something else, or leave the computer.
Dashboard
- Counter of the automatic and manual faves you have given during the current hour. Etsy has set a limit of 300 faves per hour and we also indicate the remaining amount of faves for the current hour.
- Incoming and outgoing faves counters for each of HeartExchanger's games. These are stats for the whole day, starting from Etsy midnight (New York time).
Games
Currently, there are three types of games implemented: Favathon, Searchathon and Shop faves.
- Favathon has "direct" source of traffic. Listings are reached directly through their URL. You get one view and one fave daily for each listing, by each user.
- Searchathon traffic comes through searching for the listing. There are few steps to complete searchathon: enter search phrase, click search, locate listing, open it and fave it.
It is believed that this game will bring much more popularity to a listing than Favathon.
Searchathon will not click on promoted listings. - Shop faves will bring favorites to your shop.
