Etsy Insider is an invite-only closed beta membership program available to select buyers in the United States. Invited shoppers have the option to purchase a seasonal or annual membership, which will allow access to special benefits.
Memberships and benefits
Etsy Insider has two types of memberships: seasonal and annual. When you sign up for Etsy Insider, you automatically have access to the benefits of your chosen plan.
Seasonal membership
Seasonal member ship is a 3-month membership, billed every 3 months.
With a seasonal membership, you receive:
- Free US domestic shipping on millions of items
- Deals & Drops: Special discounts and early access to limited-run merchandise from some of Etsy's most popular shops
- Ability to double your impact with Donate the Change. Etsy will match your contribution each time you donate your change to the Uplift Fund.
Annual membership
Annual membership is billed every 12 months.
With an annual membership, you receive:
- All of the benefits of a seasonal membership
- A limited edition annual gift, designed by an Etsy seller
- A birthday bonus
Billing
The membership cost will be displayed and charged when you sign up for Etsy Insider.
While a member, you’ll be billed every 3 months for a seasonal membership, and each year for an annual membership. The day you’re charged for your membership depends on the calendar day you signed up. For example, if you sign up for an annual membership on the 12th of a particular month, you’ll be billed on that same calendar day each following year as long as you remain a member.
Memberships are non-refundable once paid. Read the Terms & Conditions for Etsy Insider.
How to manage your membership
You can manage your membership from your Etsy Insider member page:
- Sign in to Etsy.com from your desktop or mobile browser, or using the Etsy app
- Go to Your account.
- The Etsy Insider member page is available at the top of the dropdown menu.
Within the member page you can manage your payment method, and cancel or restore your membership. If you cancel, you’ll have access to your benefits until the end of your billing period.
Information for sellers
If you're a seller, you don’t need to make any changes to your workflow or your shipping settings to participate in Etsy Insider. Plus, there’s no cost to you. US buyers who join Etsy Insider can use their benefits when purchasing from your shop.
Free shipping benefit
Etsy covers the cost of free shipping to Etsy Insider members. You're paid your full shipping fee minus the transaction fee, and your earnings and fees will appear the same as any other order in your Shop Manager. You'll see that shipping was paid by Etsy on the order email, order details page, packing slip, and in Messages. This benefit only applies to eligible listings with US domestic shipping.
When you refund or cancel an order, the buyer is refunded for the amount they paid and the shipping cost will go back to Etsy.
Deals & Drops
We’re working with select sellers to offer Etsy Insider deals and item drops. While this is completely optional, it’s a great opportunity for your shop to be highlighted in Etsy Insider marketing. If you’d like to participate in Etsy Insider Deals & Drops, fill out the Seller Interest Form. If selected, an Etsy team member will contact you with more information.
