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.

To create and print a label from the ‘Orders Tab’, select the orders you’d like to create and print a label for and click the ‘Create + Print label’ button. Click the ‘Print’ button to open the dropdown and select ‘Label’. The Label option will only be available if there is a label created for a shipment on the selected order.

Why is my username not recognised?
This error typically takes place when trying to connect your Etsy account to ShipStation, and it indicates that the username entered is incorrect. Luckily it can be easily resolved. We recommend that you reconfigure your Etsy store and ensure you are using your Etsy username and not login name.
