What is Etsy Pattern?

Etsy is the perfect platform for those looking to sell handmade items, vintage collectibles, and unique works of art. Since 2016, Etsy has been offering many advantages to its sellers. Like the “Affiliate Program” it recently announced, it aims to provide more profit to its sellers and a better market experience to its customers. Therefore, if you have handmade or vintage products, Etsy will be a good marketplace choice for you.

Apart from selling handmade products, Etsy has another opportunity for those who want to create their own online brand: “Etsy Pattern”. Etsy Pattern is an additional channel available for sellers. Here, sellers can grow their own online stores connected to the Etsy ecosystem. When they set up their own online store with Etsy Pattern, most of the products and listings in their Etsy shop are automatically imported. In this way, sellers can easily process and manage their own store.

One convenience that Etsy Pattern provides is the use of inventory, payment methods, and order management available here on Etsy. Thus, all the order and payment features you have set up on Etsy are automatically transferred into the Etsy Pattern.

Etsy Pattern Pricing

Etsy Pattern is a platform that works with a subscription system and offers a fee starting from $15 per month and up to approximately 20% for annual memberships. Now the good news is that sellers also have the opportunity to try the service free for 30 days before joining the paid plan. This way, you can try Etsy Pattern without risk, and if you are a paid member, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Another opportunity that Etys Pattern provides to sellers is that they can choose customized domain names for their brands. If you want to get the domain name (storename.com) instead of the default domain name (storename.patternbyetsy.com), you will have to pay between $13 and $98, depending on the domain name you choose. A tip from us: A customized domain name makes your store more professional and increases brand awareness.
Another advantage regarding pricing is that there is no fee if the product listing is only on Etsy Pattern. If the product listing will be made on both Etsy and Etsy Pattern, a payment of $0.20 per product listing is required. Of course, there may be additions to these fees depending on the taxation system of the country where the seller is located and the extra services requested. All charges for Etsy Pattern are reflected in your Etsy Payment account on a monthly basis, and you can pay for all the services you receive here without using any extra tools.
