Why Etsy Payments?

Buyers want more ways to pay

Etsy Payments gives them many options, including PayPal, Apple Pay, and Etsy gift cards. Actual fact: Shops that enable multiple payment options see 49% higher sales than shops with just one. *

Simplified finances that you control

We'll deposit all sales into your bank account in your local currency, no matter how buyers pay. You can get paid daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Request additional deposits anytime.

We've got your back

All sales processed with Etsy Payments qualify for our Seller Protection Policy. Our payment specialists and fraud-detection systems work around the clock to support and protect you.

*According to a 2016 Etsy analysis, in countries where Etsy Payments was available, active sellers using Etsy Payments saw more than twice the revenue (on average) of active sellers not using Etsy Payments.

How it works

Schedule your deposits

Set your deposit schedule. Most sellers choose to be paid weekly.

We'll securely process your sales

After a day, we'll send the funds to your Payment Account. This schedule is a little different for new sellers— learn more about your first sales.

Get paid

If you choose weekly deposits, we'll send the payment to your bank every Monday. It typically takes 2–3 days for banks to make them available to you.
