Pattern helps you build a website as unique as your brand and expand your online sales beyond the Etsy marketplace.

If you create a website through Pattern, we’ll automatically import most content and inventory from your Etsy shop. You’ll be able to customize the imported content and listings for your website.

Pattern provides you with a personalized, separate website for your business. Although inventory is synced and managed centrally through Shop Manager, your Pattern site is not connected to the Etsy marketplace, meaning your Pattern website will not be surfaced via Etsy's search function.

Pattern Dashboard

This is your starting point for building and publishing your Pattern site. From here, you can control your site's appearance and settings.

Under the “Welcome” message on your Dashboard is your site's overview. This is where we’ll display Stats, Pattern Messages, Pattern Orders, Listings, and Pattern Help.

Pattern Stats

The Stats section of your Pattern Dashboard shows a summary of your Pattern site activity for the last 12 months. You can also change the time frame in the dropdown menu.

Clicking on Views, Orders, or Revenue will give you a more in-depth picture of your site's activity.

Pattern Messages

This link will take you to your Messages inbox on Etsy. The number to the right of your Pattern Messages link will let you know how many messages your website has received.

Once in your Messages inbox, any messages from your Pattern site will have a tag so you know which messages came through your website and which came from members on Etsy.

You can learn more about how Pattern Messages work by reading over this article.

Pattern Orders

Clicking here will take you to your Completed Orders page on Etsy. The number to the right of this link will let you know how many new orders you've received through your Pattern website.

On your Completed Orders page, your Pattern orders are marked with a tag so you can see which orders are from your site and which are from your Etsy shop.

You can manage Pattern orders the same way you manage those from your Etsy shop.

Listings in Shop Manager

This link will take you to to the Listings section of your Shop Manager on Etsy.

We’ll automatically import all listings from your Etsy shop to your website, but you can customize which ones you want to display on Pattern. You can also create Pattern-only listings. These items don’t need to follow our handmade, vintage, or craft supplies policies, but they must comply with our Prohibited Items Policy).

To learn more about Pattern listings, check out this guide.

Customizing content for your site

The remaining tabs on the navigation menu take you to customizable areas of your site. Check out these guides to learn more about each section:

• Website editor
• Marketing
• Blog
• Domains

The Pattern Dashboard also includes a link to the Success Center. Success Center provides educational resources that help you manage and grow your business.

Building your website

All listings in your Etsy shop automatically appear on your Pattern website, and you have the option to remove listings from Pattern or add new listings that appear only on your website. Your Pattern listings that also appear on Etsy.com will need to follow all of Etsy’s policies.

Your Pattern-only listings don’t need to follow our handmade, vintage, or craft supply policies. However, they still need to adhere to our Prohibited Items Policy.

The table below contains an overview of your Etsy shop content and the available options for this content on Pattern.
