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.

If you are required to use a Payoneer Payment Account, Etsy will verify your identity if you enroll with Etsy Payments as a “business.” Otherwise, you’ll only verify your identity separately with Payoneer. Contact Payoneer for any help.
If we can’t verify your identity from the information you gave us when you signed up for Etsy Payments, you’ll be asked for additional information to confirm your identity.
To verify your identity for Etsy Payments:
First, make sure that you entered all your personal and financial information on your Payment account. Check your information in your Payment settings.
- Choose Edit next to Bank details. Check that your bank details are correct and select Save new details.
- Select Address and check that your address is correct.
Next, scan or photograph your government-issued ID. This can be one of the following:
- A valid driver’s license
- A valid government-issued photo ID
- A valid government-issued passport
The information on the document must correspond with the information provided during shop setup.
Then, upload the image of your documents.
Finally, confirm your personal information again in your payment account and add a debit or credit card to your shop, which is a requirement for most Etsy shops in your Payment settings under Billing.
If your account was suspended for an overdue balance, you’ll need to pay your amount due to reinstate your account. After you pay your balance, your account should be automatically reinstated unless your account is suspended for another reason.
