Thank you for inviting me. A question about 'Pattern' with its own domain name and its security?
I'm not sure what you are asking about, however, I'm not on Pattern. I cannot afford another website.
Pattern is a service that Etsy offers for a small amount.
I know Pattern is a service through Etsy, however, I can't afford another payment - not making much as it is. About 1/3 of my sales go to Etsy, and I still have to cover my production costs. I usually break even or lose by the end of the year. Spending more money on another site does not seem affordable.
