Etsy + ShipStation
Etsy exists to make the life of the handmade artist and seller a bit more profitable. We’re here to make sure that you don’t lose valuable time and money when shipping on Etsy. By connecting ShipStation with your Etsy store, you can quickly compare shipping options, create and print shipping labels, and streamline order fulfillment.
Why integrate with Etsy?
Etsy is the heart of where merchants who work with recycled, handmade, and otherwise “artsy” (see, artsy vs Etsy?) wares go to sell their products. They provide a global marketplace for like-minded individuals to connect over their love for unique items. Etsy prides themselves on empowering creative entrepreneurs to scale and grow their business, while also providing the best experience for consumers, with curated picks and recommendations from their expert teams.
