"When you share unique trackable links to your shop or listings and make a sale, we’ll take 4% of the order total off your Etsy bill"
Interesting if you share your links on social networks, right?
Here's our Q&A thread if you'd like to learn more about Share & Save!
Can you also share where you saw that? Do you have a link?
It came by email to us.
Thank you!. I was looking all over the forums and shop manager for an announcement of some sort. I'll go check email.
Thank you!!! I have nothing in my email as usual. Thanks for the link!
No email for me either. My emails from them are sporadic.
If you click on Etsy forums at the top of this page, it's the top one on the main page of the forums under Featured.
Showed up on my dashboard and email.
I received the invite to join via my Dashboard, today, Sep. 6. Eventually everyone will receive an invite, dashboard or shop email.
Interesting program.
Etsy has provided plenty of information about the Share/Save Refund Program.
Be sure to read EVERYTHING that Etsy is providing, especially the Terms of Use.
I read Terms of Use about the Share/Save Program, first.

The Terms & conditions look VERY interesting! I would read them closely before clicking that button...
@reflectionsretro I’m curious what you mean by this. Would you care to elaborate?
wow!
I hope this is site wide! I only have it in one shop at the moment. Hopefully it trickles down to my other shops. Good deal ETSY!
Here's our Q&A thread if you'd like to learn more about Share & Save!
The link in the second paragraph isn't working for me. Either is the link in the announcement post to info about the share and save program.
If someone clicks on my listing through Pinterest, will that sale qualify for the 4%?

Thank you! The link to info about share and save isn't working for me for some reason. Grr
Hi @WitticismsRus ! This might mean that the update hasn't been rolled out to your shop manager yet. It should be available shortly, however.
Thank you!. I'll be patient and check again later.
Maybe it’s the cynical New Yorker in me, but I’m sure there’s a catch (or several catches) somewhere. In addition, as seemingly generous as this offer is, it would be a lot more palatable if social media traffic generated by a seller is not redirected by Etsy to other listings in competing shops.
I agree: "it would be a lot more palatable if social media traffic generated by a seller is not redirected by Etsy to other listings in competing shops."
Exactly! Why drive traffic here for the customer only to be greeted by other shops' items shown above, below, "see similar items" blurbs inserted in your photos, rows and rows of "you may also like" at the bottom, other shops' items right underneath your photo with "shop by style", and then if you do sell something they insert other shops' items into the shipping message notification you write to the buyer. The list goes on and on ....... (and let's not forget the infamous "black box").
But I guess you can call me cynical too.
Call me a cynic, as well. This kind of news usually precedes something negative, like a fee hike.
