What is Etsy?

Etsy is an ecommerce platform that specializes in handmade, vintage, and unique goods. Artisans and creative entrepreneurs can list their products on Etsy and sell them all over the world. And customers can find a unique product that you will not find in traditional retail stores.

Etsy sellers can customize their stores, list items for sale, set their own prices, and manage their inventory. Etsy also provides secure transaction tools, including payment processing and buyer protection.

In addition to the main website, Etsy has mobile apps for iOS and Android, allowing sellers to sell on the go.
