Accept payments at in-person events with Square!

There’s a festive feeling in the air—and shoppers are looking to small businesses online and in-person to find unique holiday gifts. Etsy partners with Square to make accepting in-person payment simple and secure. And this holiday season, we’re making things even merrier with a special offer just for Etsy shop owners—you could pay NO processing fees for in-person payments and earn a $10 credit to your Etsy account. Read on to learn all about it! 

Sync your Etsy shop and take payments anywhere with Square

Did you know you can sync your Etsy shop with Square to accept in-person payments? With a Square card reader and the free Square Point of Sale App, you can sell directly from your Etsy shop inventory at holiday markets, pop-up shops, and any kind of in-person event. Your Square sales will be tracked in your Shop Stats and your Etsy inventory will update automatically. At this time, Square is only available to Etsy sellers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
