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!
