Hey y’all,
Happy Monday! Our next Fireside Chat will be available on YouTube later today (youtube.com/etsysuccess). Check it out to learn more about the ways we’re working to build an Etsy Economy, including our new shop in Macy’s flagship New York City location, our Manufacturing Advisory Board and a look at other plans in store for 2016. Subscribe to the Etsy Success YouTube channel and Like Etsy Success on Facebook (facebook.com/etsysuccess) to get updates on Fireside Chats and other programming.
Last week, we announced two changes to value-added tax (VAT) on Etsy. These updates are part of our continued efforts to improve our global marketplace for both sellers and buyers. You’ll be affected by the changes only if you’re based in the European Union. To learn more, visit the Seller Handbook: etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/39713889599
We also announced that Google Wallet is now available on the Direct Checkout platform, with Apple Pay integration soon to follow. Both US and non-US sellers can benefit from the addition of these popular mobile payment methods: If you’re a seller based outside the US with Direct Checkout and you accept orders from US buyers, those buyers now have more payment options.

Best,
Heather
