Teams is a community feature on Etsy where you can connect with other sellers.

Etsy Teams are groups run by sellers, known as Captains, to provide support to one another. Each group comes together for different reasons—some connect members who live in the same area; others sell items in similar categories; and some groups are created around a common interest, like photography or marketing.

As part of a Team, you have access to advice, inspiration, and growth opportunities direct from a community of sellers like you. Members often come together around initiatives like local selling events, collaborative social media campaigns, and virtual educational workshops.

How to find a Team

Participate in Forums and Teams by signing in to the Community Hub. To access the full Etsy Community Hub and Forums and Etsy Teams, you must have an open Etsy shop. Learn more about the Community Hub.

After signing in, navigate to the Teams tab to browse Teams and their events. Teams are organized by Shop Location, Category, and Topic. Under All Teams, you can find a full list of active Teams that are available for you to apply for membership or join. 

Browse different Teams to learn more about their focus and membership guidelines. Your membership is subject to approval by the Team’s Captain.

How to start a Team

If you’d like to lead a Team of your own as a Captain, you can easily apply to create a new Team. From the Teams tab, select Start a Team to complete the application. You can also find the application here.
