To ensure that you can open your shop in one sitting, have the following things ready to go when you begin.
1. GO TO ETSY.COM AND SIGN UP
You’ll need to build an Etsy account if you don’t already have one. Go to www.etsy.com and press the Sign Up button.
To create a username and password, log in and then press Register.
2. SET UP YOUR ETSY STORE
To start your store, you’ll need a name. Prepare a few alternatives in case your first option is already taken.
3. CREATE PRODUCT LISTINGS
- Create at least one item for sale.
- Make sure you have digital product images of your product (800-1000 pixels wide).
- Make a list of terms that describe your product and include them in tags and titles.
- Decide on a price for your item.
- Estimate the cost of shipping your products.
4. OPEN AN ETSY STORE
While it is free to open a store, Etsy does need billing details in order to set up and assist you.
To get paid you’ll need a Debit/credit card and Verify account information (account and routing number)
