Today we’re excited to introduce a tool that helps increase your shop’s visibility while giving buyers a behind-the-scenes look into your brand. Explore lets you share videos about your process and your products directly with Etsy shoppers. Today, more than 5 million buyers can browse videos in the Explore tab of the Etsy shopping app.
A quick heads up, Explore is currently only available to sellers in the United States with an iOS device, but we plan to give even more sellers access to it in the future.
With Explore you can reach even more shoppers on Etsy and connect with them more meaningfully by showing them what’s special about your shop and how you make your items by sharing your own unique video content.
To upload a video to Explore, you’ll need the new Etsy Seller app. Download the new Etsy Seller app to get started.
How it works
- Open the Etsy Seller app and scroll down to the “Check out Explore” button in Home.
- Tap “Create New Post” and then select a video from your camera roll.
- Add a descriptive caption and select a video type (you can also link your post to a listing in your shop).
- Tap “Post” to complete the upload!
You can find more details in Etsy’s Help Center.
