How much does an automated wall art job cost in credits?

A wall art job is 59 credits. That delivers 5 print sizes at 300 DPI (2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 11:14, ISO A1), up to 20 mockups, a 15‑second 1:1 listing video, a listing-copy PDF, plus a Drive folder and a shareable link. New accounts get 75 free credits on signup.

Can I run the flow on a self-hosted n8n instance?

Yes. n8n is self-hosted and fully compatible with Ratio Ready's REST API. Host n8n yourself for cost control and scale, run a webhook trigger, call the REST API, and push the Drive link into an Etsy draft. Typical one-time setup is 30–45 minutes.

What’s the difference between a wall art job and a poster job?

Wall art jobs (59 credits) produce five print sizes, mockups, a video, a listing-copy PDF and a Drive share link. Poster jobs (55 credits) produce one print file at 300 DPI, mockups and a video but not a Drive shareable PDF or customer-facing PDF. Posters are for physical items and need an Etsy shipping profile.

How fast will files be ready after I upload?

Per-listing timing: 2 minutes to upload a source file, then roughly 3–5 minutes for Ratio Ready to process and return assets. Total depends on queue and mockup count. n8n can poll the REST API or accept webhook callbacks when assets are ready.

Do you provide any prebuilt blueprints or examples?

Yes. We include a free Make.com blueprint and example REST calls. The Make.com blueprint is free and runs on Make.com's free tier (1,000 ops/month, roughly 80–125 listings/month). The REST API is documented for n8n, Zapier, custom webhooks and custom code.

How does credit usage work for clipart batches?

Clipart batches start at 29 credits for 1–5 images and add 10 credits per additional 5 images. Each image returns print files at 300 DPI plus listing previews. You can request an optional watermark and receive a batch-level Etsy listing PDF.

What security should I add to my webhook trigger?

Use a secret token in the webhook URL or a header and validate it in n8n. Restrict inbound IPs if possible, enable HTTPS and rotate the token periodically. Log incoming requests and add retry/backoff logic for transient failures.

The short answer

n8n Etsy automation wall art connects a self-hosted n8n instance to Ratio Ready's REST API so you can push production-ready wall art files directly into an Etsy draft. Sellers waste afternoons upscaling, exporting five print ratios, building mockups and a 15-second video, then pasting tags. That’s lost margin. This page shows a straight path: webhook trigger in n8n → Ratio Ready REST API call → Google Drive delivery + Etsy draft. Get 75 free credits on signup and a working flow in one setup session. Start with the blueprint and swap in your self-hosted n8n.

Why use n8n for Etsy wall art

n8n is a self-hosted, node-based automation tool. Serious sellers pick it for cost control and scale. It runs on your server. You own the ops.

Use n8n as the production layer between design and a live Etsy listing. The flow is not a helper tool. It produces finished assets: 5 print sizes at 300 DPI, mockups, a 15‑second 1:1 listing video, listing-copy PDF and a Drive share link — that’s a wall art job (59 credits).

What you need before you start

Your self-hosted n8n instance with webhook access.
Ratio Ready API key (from app.ratioready.com).
An Etsy account with permission to create drafts.
A Google Drive account where Ratio Ready will place outputs.

Expect a one-time setup of about 30–45 minutes to wire n8n and test. Per listing, plan 2 minutes to upload your source file and 3–5 minutes for Ratio Ready to process.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Webhook trigger: n8n listens for an HTTP POST from your internal uploader or a CSV job runner. That webhook contains file URL, title, tags and product type (wall art).

2. REST API call: n8n calls Ratio Ready's REST API with the source file and job parameters. Choose "wall art" to get the five print sizes, up to 20 mockups, a 15‑second video, listing-copy PDF and Drive folder + shareable link (59 credits).

3. Capture response: save the Drive link and asset list in the node output.

4. Etsy draft step: use an Etsy node or a custom HTTP node to push the draft, attach the Drive link, and schedule or save as draft.

n8n node details and samples

Use these nodes: Webhook (trigger), HTTP Request (Ratio Ready REST API), Google Drive (optional if you want to move files), Function/Set (transform metadata), and HTTP Request or Etsy node (create draft).

Payload tips: send title, description, tags, and the source image URL. Set job_type=wall_art. Handle rate limits by queuing the webhook responses and retrying failed jobs. The REST API supports webhooks and direct responses so n8n can continue to the Etsy draft as soon as assets land in Drive.

Testing, deployment and maintenance

Test with a single listing first. Use sample files to confirm 5 ratios, mockups and the 15‑second video are produced and the Drive link is valid. Confirm the Etsy draft contains the correct attachments and tags.

Monitor credits: wall art jobs cost 59 credits. You start with 75 free credits on signup. Log errors in n8n and add retry logic. For higher volume consider scaling n8n horizontally and monitoring queue depth.
