How to Get Paid on Etsy

You set up your shop, you made your first sale. Time to get paid!

Etsy Payments is the main way to get paid on Etsy. With Etsy Payments, buyers can use most payment methods to purchase from your shop. You get direct deposits to your bank account.

Some shops use PayPal to get paid. Starting April 26, 2021, you will be temporarily unable to open a shop in most markets where Etsy Payments is not currently available. If you opened your shop before that date and you’re in a country that isn’t eligible for Etsy Payments, you should be able to continue using your own PayPal account to accept payments.

Sellers in India can use India Payments, powered by our third party payments partner, to offer UPI & Net Banking as payment methods to India buyers and PayPal to buyers outside of India.
