Etsy shoppers care deeply about supporting small businesses. Today, we’re introducing a new way for them to invest in creators and creativity on and off Etsy. Starting today, shoppers in the United States who are purchasing from sellers with Etsy Payments can round up their order total to the nearest dollar and donate the change to Etsy’s Uplift Fund. For example, if a shopper’s order total is $25.55, they can round up their order to $26 and donate $0.45—and all that spare change can really add up. The Uplift Fund contributes to nonprofits that work to create paths to entrepreneurship for everyone.
Shoppers will see the order total, including their donation, when they check out. But nothing changes for you—the order total, not including their donation, will be available in your payment account like any other order (minus any applicable seller fees, as usual).
Learn more about the Uplift Fund in the Seller Handbook, plus get more details you can share with your customers if you get any questions.
