As an Etsy seller it’s important to stay on top of your Etsy billing and pay your balance on time each month. Failure to pay your Etsy bill can result in fees and even shop suspension. The good news is Etsy makes paying your shop balance quick and easy through multiple payment options.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk through the simple steps to pay your Etsy bill through the Seller Dashboard, automatic payments, or PayPal. We’ll also cover tips like setting payment reminders, what to do if you can’t pay, and adjusting your payment methods.
Step 1: Log Into Your Etsy Seller Dashboard
The first step is accessing your Etsy Seller Dashboard. This is where you’ll view your account balance and process payments. You can log in on a desktop at Etsycom or through the Etsy Seller app
Once logged in click “Finances” under the Shop Manager menu. This will display your current balance due monthly statement, and payment options.
Step 2: Choose Your Payment Method
When paying your Etsy bill, you can choose between:
- Credit or debit card – Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover
- Etsy gift card balance – Redeem Etsy gift cards you’ve received
- Etsy credits – Earned from referring sellers or special promotions
- PayPal account – Instantly transfer from linked PayPal balance
For credit/debit cards and PayPal, you’ll need to enter your account info for verification. Etsy securely saves this for future use.
Step 3: Select Amount to Pay
Next, choose whether to pay your full current balance or make a partial payment. Paying in full avoids any late fees or penalties, but partial payments can help manage cash flow.
Your current account balance is clearly displayed at the top of the payment page for easy reference.
Step 4: Submit Payment
Once you’ve chosen your payment amount and method, click “Submit Payment” to complete the transaction. It may take 1-2 days for the payment to process and your balance to update. You’ll receive an emailed receipt confirming the payment details.
And that’s it! With just four simple steps, you can pay your Etsy seller bill conveniently online.
