What roles can I assign shop team members?
Add custom roles or choose from the following preset roles:
- Owner: You and anyone else you consider to be an owner of your Etsy shop. The owner must also be making, designing, hand picking, or sourcing qualifying items in line with Etsy's Creativity Standards. Under Etsy's Terms of Use, the owner is responsible for any activity on the account.
- Assistant: A full time, part-time, or seasonal helper who assists with making your items or managing your shop. If you hire third-party freelance workers to help with administrative tasks, please read our policies for Freelance Administrative Help.
- Maker: Anyone within your business who has a role in the physical creation of your items. This is different from a production partner, which is outlined in Etsy's Creativity Standards.
- Curator: Someone who helps you select items that meet our Handpicked or Sourced By criteria, such as vintage items or craft supplies.
- Customer Service: A person who helps the shop owner communicate with buyers and provide excellent and prompt customer service. The shop owner must continue to participate in the running of the shop in an active role. You can read more about providing excellent customer service in our Seller Policy.
- Designer: A person who has come up with an original design, pattern, sketch, template, prototype, or plan to be produced by in-house shop members or a production partner. Using mass-market templates or outsourcing all design work does not meet this standard. If someone outside of your business helps physically produce the items you design, you must disclose this on all applicable listings. See our Manufacturing Policy for more information.
- Marketer: A person who works with you to promote your Etsy shop and items in different channels.
- Photographer: A person who photographs your items to create the images you use in your shop and listings.
- Shipper: A person who helps pack your sold orders and ship them out to buyers.
