How to customise your shop banner

To add your shop banners:

2. Select the pencil icon next to your shop name under Sales Channels.
3. Select Banner to showcase your brand and listings at the top of the page. 
4. Choose the type of banner you want.

Mini Banner: A narrow image with a minimum size of 1200 x 160 pixels.

Big Banner: A large image with a minimum size of 1200 x 300 pixels.

If you do not want a banner for your shop, select None. This will move your listings higher up on the page. 

More advanced shop banner options, such as the Carousel Banner or Collage Banner, are available to Etsy Plus Subscribers.

How to arrange items in your shop 

Thoughtfully arranging the order of items in your shop is a great way to entice shoppers to browse your products. Much like a display in a physical shop, the way your products are arranged in your Etsy shop can make a big impression about your brand. 

To rearrange items in your shop:

1. On Etsy.com, go to your Shop Manager.
2. Select the pencil icon next to your shop name under Sales Channels.
3. Select Rearrange items.
4. Drag and drop the listings in order in which you’d like them to appear.
5. Select Exit rearrange mode.

To move listings between pages, select the Move to page dropdown menu on the individual listing. 

When listings are renewed, they'll go back to their custom location. New listings go to the top of your shop.

It could take up to 10 minutes for your listings to rearrange on your public shop homepage.

Tips for arranging your products in your shop:

• Be cohesive with imagery and style.
• Update arrangements seasonally to reflect shopping trends.
• Keep a full shop to avoid looking sparse. 
• Use the best thumbnail image for each product. 

How to feature items 

Featuring items is a way to showcase 4 listings you especially want shoppers to see when they visit your public shop homepage.

These items will appear just above your shop announcement.

A buyer can choose the listing image in the featured row or in its place with the rest of your items to get to the same listing page.

To feature your items: 

1. On Etsy.com, go to your Shop Manager.
2. Choose Listings.
3. Select the star icon on the four listings you want to feature. You can only feature active listings. Choosing more than 4 items adds them to a queue so they'll be displayed if the items before them get removed from your shop.
4. In the Listing status sidebar menu, find Featured listings and select Manage. 
5. Drag and drop the listings in the order you want them displayed. 
6. Select Done. 

The changes you make will take effect in your shop immediately.
