How do I open a store on Etsy? Very easy if you follow the step-by-step instructions ... How to create an Etsy store? First of all, you need ...

Hello dear readers of the blog site.

Today I will continue to develop the topic of earning, which I started in and will tell you in detail how to open a store on Etsy. The creation process is not very difficult, but you can still make stupid mistakes that you will regret a little later. This is why this tutorial will be so helpful to you.

Etsy is a platform that is popular all over the world, so a seller opening a store here gets a good opportunity to find buyers for their products.

Before starting to create a store, it is imperative to get yourself an electronic wallet in the payment system PayPal.

So, enough of the prefaces, let's get down to business.

How to create an Etsy store

• Registration.

First of all, you need to register. To do this, go to the site Etsy.com and in the upper right corner, click on the "Register" button (see the screen below).

You will see a form that you need to fill out. Be sure to include your work email address, as a confirmation email will be sent to this address.

And also you have the option not to fill out the form, but simply log in through your Facebook or Google account by clicking on the appropriate button.

So, you filled out the form and clicked the "Register" button. We go to email you just specified should receive an email from Etsy.

Open the letter and click on "Confirm Account" to confirm the registration.

If everything went well, then you should see the following inscription in front of you.

This completes the registration process.

Setting up an Etsy store

First you need to click on the "Open My Etsy Shop" button.

• Language and currency settings.

In the first paragraph, we set the language of our store. Of course, I chose Russian, because I don't want to describe my products in English or any other language.

In the third paragraph, you need to specify the currency that you will use to set prices for your goods. I believe that the best choice is the American dollar. Of course, you can disagree with me and set a different currency for your store.

The last point does not affect anything specifically, so there will be no recommendations on my part.

• Name of shop.

It's time to come up with a name for your store. It is desirable that it be stylish, easy to remember, associated with the product that you are going to sell. No more than 20 characters long.

So, we enter the name, check if this name is free, then press “Save and continue” and move on.

• Add a product.

At this stage, you will have to add at least one product, otherwise we will not be able to move on and finish creating the store, so click on “Register new product».

In the window that opens, fill out the form in which we indicate the name, upload photos, set the price and make a description of the product. After filling in everything, click "Save and continue".

Do everything quickly and don't worry, after creating a store, you can remove this item from sale or make any changes to the description, price, title, etc.

• Payment settings.

At this point, you must indicate the payment system with which we will accept payment for the goods. As I said at the beginning of the article, we will use the services of the PayPal system. Therefore, we put a tick in front of "PayPal".

After you have checked the box, a small window will appear in which you need to enter the name of your PayPal account twice and click the "Save" button, and then click "Save and continue" and go to the last item.

• Payment of commission.

You have 2 options for paying commission:

1. With your PayPal account.
2. Using a bank card.

Therefore, in this paragraph you must indicate the details of your card and your place of residence.

Fill out the form and click the "Open your shop" button.

Congratulations! You've just opened your online store on Etsy. We took the first step towards success and financial independence.

Dear readers, this is all that I wanted to tell you today. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to leave them in the comments to this article. In the future, I'm going to develop the topic of making money on sales, so stay tuned to the blog.

He who does not devote himself entirely to the cause will not have brilliant success.

Best regards, Stein David.

Irina, good evening.
I opened a store a week ago. Since I now live in Latvia, I indicated the Direct Checkout system in the payment. I also wanted to connect Pay Pal separately, but I could not find this option anywhere. Then I read that all new stores are deprived of this, since everything includes Direct Checkout. A friend tried to make a purchase in a store, but the Pay Pal icon was not found. Only bank cards. I can't understand anything. Could you have any advice?
Thanks.

Natalja says:

Hello Tatiana, I am from Lithuania, Natalia
Probably in our countries there are similar rules for our stores on Etsy, I'll answer you
Since last summer, by opening new shop, payment will be applied only through the Direct Checkout system. It is not possible to connect Pay Pal.
I opened one of my stores at the end of April 2016, I still have both payment systems. But my friend opened a new store (and she was 2) like in June, it became impossible to connect Pay Pal. Probably you have the same thing in Latvia.

Natalja says:

Hello, I'm from Lithuania, since 2014 on Etsy, there are several shops.
Direct Checkout was introduced to us somewhere at the beginning of last summer. It was necessary to provide additional bank data and after some time, like a couple of days, this function was already working. My sales even increased by 70% after the introduction of this feature. Which I am very happy about, because probably not everyone has the opportunity to pay through a PP and the buyer has several options for payment. This innovation should have been introduced for a long time.
Your money is accumulated in an Etsy account and the date the money was transferred to my card is shown. This happens every second Monday of the month. But if this does not suit us, you can press the button and the money transfer will start the next day and they will be on the card within 2 days. Something like that with us was with the PP.
A friend opened another store in the summer and PP could no longer be selected as a payment method, only Direct Checkout. In all our old stores, both options remain. In our country, they are discussing on the forums that the PP is very strong, it has become weak, when transferring money, we still had losses in currency exchange. In the country, there is one dollar rate - a euro, and the PP has its own rate. And this is still a minus from your cough. Also, the PP often closed accounts without explaining much about it. We already had a panic. I also had my own story with the PP, I'm glad that I settled everything, although the account was blocked for a month.

Success to all

How to open a store on Etsy - step-by-step instruction

You have decided to start selling on Etsy right now. But obviously you have some questions - Where do you start? How to register a store on Etsy?

I already wrote about commissions and, but the repetition, as they say, did not stop anyone. I also ask you to pay attention to steps 6 and 11.

So, with the usual and self registration store and when adding your products to the Etsy website, you must pay $ 0.20 for the placement of EACH product. For the first time, you need to load at least 30-40 goods into your store, which is $ 8 or at the current exchange rate of about 540 rubles.

The money issue is usually one of the most exciting and urgent. Therefore, I repeat, you CAN start selling on Etsy for free!

The Etsy service still provides an affiliate program. You can register your store and place the first 40 products - absolutely free. Those. you will not need to spend money on initial stage before you gain experience. Great, isn't it ?!

Well, let's start registering a store ?!

7 major mistakes when registering a store

Want to protect yourself from mistakes other sellers make? Any of them can cost you money, nerves or lead to the closure of the store.

And yes, Etsy constantly changes both the design of the site itself and the functionality of various stages, for example, registering a new store. Don't be alarmed if any of the images are different. I try to make changes to this article periodically, but I don't always keep up with Etsy.

Step 1: Get your bonus

In order to receive a bonus (40 products for free listing or 40 free listings), you need to follow this link or copy the link etsy.me/1UwuQz6 and enter it into address bar browser. Made?

After that, you will see the following page:

In the circle is my photo (this is how I look in my store) and the inscription “Sell what you create or collect, and add the first 40 items for free” = “Sell what you create or collection, and list your first 40 items free”.

Step 2: Open a store with free listing

Click the "Open My Etsy Shop" = "Open My Etsy Shop"

Step 3: Register

You can choose to register using Facebook or Google accounts, or you can choose "independent registration". Make sure the correct tab is selected "Register" = "Register"

Then enter your details:

• Email = A valid email address (it will receive a confirmation email, and this will also be your login to enter your personal account)
• Password = Come up with and enter a password (if nothing comes to mind, you can use free services, which I wrote about in the article about PayPal at step 3)
• Confirm Password = Confirm the entered password
• Username = Your name (please enter your real name in English. It can be edited after the registration is complete)
• Give your consent to receive the newsletter (indeed, helpful information, which is best not to be lazy and read) and put a checkbox in front of the inscription "I want to reeive Etsy Finds, an email newsletter of fresh trends and editors picks"
• Click "Register" = "Register"

Step 4: Confirm Registration

The following window has opened in front of you:

At this stage, you need to go to your email, open the letter from Etsy and confirm the registration. If the letter was suddenly not sent to you by mail, then you need to request it, for this we click "Resend email" = "Resend the letter".

A letter from Etsy should look something like this:

Click the button "Confirm account" = "Confirm account". Then we continue to open your store.

Step 5: Open Esti Store

Yes, that's right, click on the "Open an Etsy Shop" = "Open an Etsy Shop" button.

Step 6: Store profile settings

The standard settings appear as of English language and the default US currency (which I recommend leaving unchanged) and the location of your store.

If you are from Russia, select Russia from the drop-down menu. If not, choose your state. Then save the changes by clicking "Save" = "Save".

IN recent times there were many difficulties with the opening of a new store on Etsy precisely because the sellers were leaving the US. And then, at step 11, they could not link their accounts.

And you also need to give an answer why you are registering your store:

• This is my main source of income
• This is my secondary source of income, but I hope to make it my main source.
• I am doing this in free time
• Other

Step 7: store name

Remember the expression "What do you call a ship, so it will float" from a famous book?

• Photos - add 1 photo of your product
• Title - In the title, enter the name of the product, for example, Golden earrings
• About this listing - in this paragraph, you must select all information about the product from the drop-down list
• Category - yes, and at this point also use the drop-down list
• Price - the cost of your product
• Quantity - quantity (you should specify 1 piece)
• Renewal options - the ability to renew (I recommend setting "Manual" - manual update)

• Type - product type
• Description - product description (you can write what you specified in the Title)
• Section - use the dropdown list

• Ships from - select from the drop-down list the country from which the goods will be sent
• Processing time - during which the goods will be sent
• Shipping costs - shipping rates
• Tags - keywords
• Materials - what materials were used to create your product

After all required fields have been filled in, click the "Publish" - "Publish" button.

Step 10: check

Is the photo of your added product also flaunting on the page? Ok, go to the next step. Click on "Get Paid" = "Get Paid"

Step 11: payment settings

If you live in one of the CIS countries, then you have only one method of accepting payments - PayPal. If you find your country in this list, then Direct Checkout is available to you.

• First: in the section that appears, check the box next to "PayPal".
  The "Other" method allows you to accept payment in additional ways. This is useful if customers from your home country will buy your goods on Etsy. Whether to check this box is up to you. When I registered a store, I made this item active. But then I decided to remove it, leaving only PayPal.
• Second: enter your PayPal account name twice in the “PayPal account email” and “Confirm PayPal account email” sections and save the changes. Have you registered in this payment system? I wrote about what PayPal is and how to start it.
