As many of you know, we're beginning to ramp up a key change to how you receive your deposits from direct checkout sales. In the near future, eligible sellers will no longer need to mark a direct checkout order as shipped before being able to access funds from that order. This will give you quick and easy access to your funds.

How will this work exactly?

-When an order comes in, you'll see that the funds will be available the very next day. Bear in mind, the deposit schedule still works like it does now--meaning deposits will be sent on Monday unless you use the "Schedule Earlier Deposit" button in your Shop Payment Account.

-All orders will live in one comprehensive section of your Shop Payment Account. No more "Open Orders" and "Completed Orders," as there's just one section that includes all of your order activity.

-You will still need to mark your items as shipped accurately. This will let buyers know their items are on their way, and will make sure you are covered by Etsy's Seller Protection program.

How will you know if you're eligible?

If your shop's first sale (with any payment method) was older than 90 days. Simple as that.

Have any other questions about how this works? Definitely let us know! We'll be ramping this up over the next couple of weeks, and you'll see a banner in your Shop Payment Account when this is available to you. This doesn't apply to any orders that were placed before your account switches over, but will be an exciting new feature for your shop going forward.

If you have any feedback or questions, we'd love to hear them!

Is this the notice you get when you have the ability to get paid before you ship? It is in the green box at the top of the "shop payment account" page.....
........................................................................................................................
Great news! Based on your sales history, funds for your direct checkout orders will become available for deposit to your bank account the day after the order is placed. Deposits will occur on Mondays, or sooner if you click "Schedule an Earlier Deposit".
...............................................................................................................................

So, this would mean that I don't have to ship first? Or, is there a different notification that specifically states I don't have to ship first? I will however still have to request the deposit sooner by clicking on that option to receive it earlier from what this says.

Thank you!! I thought so but it never hurts to double check. I saw posts saying it is in a blue box or banner??? My box is green so that threw me off, lol.

Ok, so here's something that has me confused.....

....................................................................................................................
"Great news!

You can now purchase and print a USPS® shipping label for any Etsy order you receive that ships to the United States. Click the "Print Shipping Label" link within your order details to get started."
........................................................................................................................

Why does it say that about creating a shipping label that ships to the US? We can also ship International using etsy shipping. Am I reading that wrong? It sounds like it's saying to only print labels you're shipping to the US???

I see what you mean Teresa about that box being blue in the Sold Orders page. That must be what everyone's looking at since the other box is green.

They have been rolling this stuff out very quickly-- the banner wording probably just got missed when they rolled out the international shipping.

I'm hoping this will be rolled out to me soon. :-) I've had DC since it was available to me in May.

I think having immediate access to funds is a definite plus for seller's to turn on DC. That and also if Etsy will offer tiered discount fees like PayPal currently does.

I too am hoping to have this activated! I've been waiting to give DC a try because most of my orders are custom and I feared that waiting for payment until shipment would wreak havoc on my cash flow. And I was right! Any idea when everyone will have it? Cause if it doesn't happen very soon I'll need to turn off DC until it becomes available.

Hi all ! Because of this new development we finally decided to turn on direct checkout yesterday and got our first sale with it today. Our items are all made to order. We need to have the shipping requirement lifted soon or will probably have to turn it off. We can't afford to have our funds tied up until we mark as shipped. Is there anything special we need to do or do we just need to wait? Also, if we do turn it off will the banner still show up in Shop Payment Account?
Thanks for your thoughts,
John and Debbie

Mine is still not showing up and my sales history is WAY over 90 days! I set up DC back in April when it first came available. I currently have two orders sitting in the "Open" status as I am waiting to hear back from customers on proofs.

I am not sure where to post this posting. I just wanted to introudce myself. I hope I am on a right place.

Hi Everyone!
My name is Syed Alexander and I am an inspire collage artist as well as antique books and prints collector. I was born in India. My father had a huge collection of books most of them were 300 plus years old. As a child I developed a love for old books. I have been hunting books and prints for about 15 years so now I have over 10000 prints and 400 books in my own collection. I look forward to working with everyone.

Best wishes,
Alexander

Hi,
My account is still having to wait until I click "shipped" to be able to access my funds from direct checkout. =/ Can you switch it over for me to access sooner, please?
Thank you so so much!
So happy to hear of this change as my turn around time is 5 days and at times longer.

YAYYYYYYY!!!
I am so happy, this has been quite a struggle for me since setting up with Direct check out. Like many artists posting here....a majority of my sales are custom pieces which I need funds ahead of time to order custom stones, beads etc.
Thank you for the AWESOME change! :)

Karen,
Your shop is enabled, but you may be looking at the older orders before this was enabled in your shop. The change isn't retroactive, so older others still need to be cleared out. But orders that have come in since the change should be down in your completed orders.
