Your shop’s About section is where you can share the story of your business. Shoppers can learn more about your creative process, the story behind your products, and any teammates or collaborators you work with.
Share your shop story through a video or photos that show off your workspace or demonstrate your process. You can also add your social media handles, shop members, and production partners.
How to edit your About section
Shoppers can find your About section by scrolling down your shop homepage on the desktop and mobile versions of Etsy.com, or by selecting the About tab at the top of your shop homepage in the Etsy App.
To edit your about section:
- On Etsy.com, go to your Shop Manager.
- Select the pencil icon next to your shop name under Sales Channels.
- Scroll to the About section.
If your shop isn't open to the public, you’ll need to open your shop first.
