Etsy Introduces Spring Changes to Enhance Seller Interaction
Hey, Buddy! Let's check out what's new with Etsy in 2025
Etsy shook things up in April with a stack of updates designed to streamline the seller experience and beef up business management tools on their platform. Here's the lowdown:
Snazzy Listing Creation
New photo tools within the Etsy Seller app let sellers upload and tweak images more easily. Now you can process background photos and create custom filters to maintain a slick look across your shop. And don't worry about categorizing your listings – just peep all listing categories and subcategories right in the app. The search visibility dashboard is smarter too – it points you to listings that could use a bit of sprucing up. A beta feature that gives immediate feedback on listing quality is also on the way.
Boosted Shop Management
Shop Manager got a much-needed makeover, making it simpler than ever to find vital tools and info, like your shop stats and order data. Recent activity now has its own tab, so interacting with buyers is a cinch. The revamp didn't stop there – Etsy spruced up performance across the platform, ensuring Orders and Sales & Discounts pages load like a dream, and messages in the app zip through on mobile devices. A user-friendly navigation system ensures you can find essential pages faster.
Oh, and don't forget about growing your business – the updated Etsy Apps page is here to help you discover third-party tools to take your shop to the next level. Additionally, the updated app gives Etsy insights to sort out and squash performance issues more swiftly.
Enhanced Support and Sales Aid
Haven't hit a hiccup in your shop? No sweat – Etsy expanded access to its support team, so more sellers can reach out directly from Shop Manager. Expect to see further expansion throughout the rest of the year. Etsy is also working on improving Etsy Ads placement to help connect buyers with the most relevant listings. And get ready for some tweaks to the Shop Home layout, which could make it easier for shoppers to browse your wares.
