Welcome, @ReplacementHardware. I hope you do well with your pattern sites. And congrats on your hard work. I have no idea how people can run two different shops in the etsy marketplace - nevermind two marketplace shops and two pattern shops.
Hey, I am sure that etsy will offer you a "2 for 1" discount! [snort]
I once asked them if they would be providing a discount if you used etsy plus and pattern. I never got a reply! Fancy that!
Thanks so very much! I think in this shop it's the Trellis theme. Haven't quite decided if I'll stick with that or maybe change. I have 'Stripe theme' in my other shop, or at least I'm pretty sure that's what it's called, lol.
Running both shops isn't too bad. For my Flatware, it's mostly just small changes for each and each listing. This one will be just a bit more, but I'm hoping to start 'decreasing' my collections, so that's my incentive.
I so do not want to be the person who dies and then when the family comes to clean out everything all they say is 'What A Hoarder!!!!' And I could really use some room to start another project I'm thinking of!
Life is a 'Collection'!!
P.S. I don't think I'll need to worry about the '2 for 1`, lolo
I am using the Mosaic theme. I found the site was easy to set up. I like that I can edit my Pattern listings to be different from my Etsy shop. I'm working on setting up a blog.
My only issue so far is trying to connect to Mailchimp. I have read lots of info both on Etsy and Mailchimp and still can't get it to connect. Mailchimp says it's on Etsy's side. I emailed Etsy Support Friday, called Saturday and STILL have not heard back. I really hope support is better than this.
Overall, I like Pattern and the ease of setting it up. So glad to have found this team!
Thanks @AtMemoryLane for trying to help with my Mailchimp situation. It's really frustrating! I did hear back from Etsy Pattern Support and they said they were aware of the issue but also said they prioritize identified bugs by impact on their marketplace and I won't hear from them unless they have additional information to share. Sounds like this isn't a priority to them, which baffles me as this is the only way we can generate an email list and Mailchimp is the only provider Etsy allows. Oh well, I'll just keep plugging along and cross my fingers they will come up with a fix. 🙂

Hi, Help please someone, I am not getting a lot of help from Pattern help. my new Pattern site cant be reached, I have checked with my domain host and they say it is all ok their end. This is the message received if I type my domain into google. I've checked proxy and windows diagnostics without any luck. I have worked hard on it and really just wanted it to go live so I can start promoting it. Can anyone please suggest help

This site can’t be reached
isabella-violetta-botanicals.comtook too long to respond.
And specifically, the two DNS addresses you'll need to check:
First, edit your A record information for your root domain.
Set up one A record that points to 130.211.40.170.
Next, edit your CNAME records for your subdomain.
Set up a CNAME record (www.) that points to your Etsy-hosted domain, which is patternbyetsy.com.
Not sure what else I can suggest. It can take a few hours for your domain to be updated, so that could also be part of the problem. I'm not sure how long ago you updated it.
VillageFramingAndArt ….. Thank you! Pattern is so easy to do. I really can't take credit for any of it! LOL! I used the Mosiac Design! Thanks for looking! Jen : )
Only set it up this month and finally finished transferring the domain name I've used for the last 12 years to it today and got it all up and running successfully. I'm using the Swatch theme as I have several categories of cards and this one works well with collections.
Wow! @CardsbyCharmaineZoe your cards are beautiful! The design planning (never mind the work involved afterwards) must take you days/weeks. Your pattern site looks great. So bright and inviting.
Your cards are lovely! May I ask: are your items listed on BOTH your Etsy and your Pattern site? I notice that you are using Gallery view for your photos, and that doesn't seem to work for me. I am forced to use the vertical list view for my "Pattern only" items.
