Pre-shipping deposits...

[Former_Member]

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!

very nice change,

Thank you

Glad to hear it, but I need it now. I have bills to pay and keep having to turn off DC to get access to my $$$ through Paypal. I am at a 7-10 day processing time right now and my bills can't wait for me to finish orders first.

Thank you! Great change.

[SandyCoastalDesigns]

Thank you Etsy. You changed it for me. I appreciate it.

[Former_Member]

Heck yes! Been a little hectic fronting the money at times for all of my made-to-order and custom stuff (which is a huge part of my business). Thank you! Can't wait!

[BethsBannerBoutique]

Thank you, Etsy, that's great news!

[Former_Member]

THANK YOU!!!!

[Former_Member]

With all of my items being custom orders, I can not say thank you enough! Halloween was very very busy for me, and with so many people using DC, i had to get very creative to get everything out on time!

[janeeroberti]

Yes!
This will make bookkeeping so much easier.

[GracefullyGirly]

Thanks a million!!!

[Former_Member]

Thank you SO much! As a made to order shop, I love DC overall, but not really the waiting for funds until the order's shipped. This is fantastic!

Now, I need to stop checking my shop payment account page every 10 minutes to see if I have the banner yet ;)

[FaithSoapsAndLove]

I have heard.....that Etsy will send your customer an email & tell them they should have received their product & if not to report the shop......is this true Etsy? Doesn't sound good! Trying to dispel the rumor early!

[Former_Member]

Yay! Just got the banner telling me that my shipping hold was removed and funds are now available for transfer the day after purchase! Keep up the great work - this update is fantastic! :)

[Former_Member]

Super happy with this change, thank you!

[Former_Member]

This sounds like a great change but it hasn't been made available to me yet. Mine still looks the same & I've been with etsy about 2 years, longer than the 90 day time frame.

[Former_Member]

Mine has not changed yet either - I still have to mark as shipped. Is there any timing for full roll-out on this???

[Former_Member]

Yes! I have been trying to like direct checkout but with the delay in funds for my custom shop it has been hard. Now patiently waiting for my DC banner to show the change for me. Perfect for this super busy season coming. Thanks for listening and adjusting for our needs admin!

[Former_Member]

Yippie!! Great news.

[Former_Member]

I've had DC for awhile now and I still have to ship before being paid. I am reading some shops are just now signing up and already have availability of funds. Is there a glitch in my shop? I would think Etsy would make it available for shops that have been using it a while.

Do we have a completion date for making it available for all of us?
