Selling digital goods on Etsy brings its 2025 Creativity Standards into play (AI disclosure, 'made by the seller').

Will AI products get my Etsy shop banned?

How do I disclose AI on an Etsy listing?

Add a clear line in the description, e.g. 'Created with AI assistance, edited and finalized by the seller', and set the production fields (who/when made, category) correctly.

No — selling prompt packs as the product is prohibited. Sell the finished generated files instead.
