While the subscription service offers a variety of tools and benefits to help sellers grow their businesses, there are also some potential drawbacks to keep in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re hesitant to pay an extra $10 every month on top of regular Etsy fees, we get it! But hear us out: Etsy Plus could be a game-changer for your shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the amazing perks that come with the subscription:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-listing-ads-credit\">1. Listing &amp; ads credit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Etsy Plus subscription, you will receive<strong> 15 free listing credits<\/strong> <strong>and $5 ad credits each month<\/strong>. Although this is not free, it&#8217;s still a good value since Etsy normally charges <strong>$0.20<\/strong> for each listing. This provides an <strong>extra $3 worth of listings each month<\/strong>, which is helpful for sellers with a smaller product selection since it simplifies the calculation of Etsy listing fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"table4\">\n<p><strong>What other Etsy sellers are reading:<\/p><\/strong>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/is-selling-on-etsy-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Is Selling on Etsy Worth it in 2026:7 Key Factors to Consider<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/start-selling-on-etsy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Sell On Etsy: A 2026-Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-custom-web-address-discounts\">2.

However, it might not be necessary because you can use basic editing software to achieve the same result without having to pay for the Etsy plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The carousel banner is far superior as it lets you add up to four different photos that your customers can click through and explore<\/strong>.

Restock requests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Restock requests are one of the most valuable features of Etsy Premium. <strong>With this Etsy Plus benefit, customers can request to receive an email notification when a sold-out item is back in stock.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And once you\u2019ve restocked the item, <strong>customers receive an email and are ready to purchase<\/strong>. By letting customers know when an item is back in stock, you create a sense of urgency and increase the likelihood of a sale. Urgency and the fear of missing out are some of the most effective marketing tactics, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-38884\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Restock-request-from-Etsy.webp\" alt=\"Restock request from Etsy\" class=\"wp-image-38884\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Restock-request-from-Etsy.webp 776w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Restock-request-from-Etsy-300x272.webp 300w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Restock-request-from-Etsy-768x697.webp 768w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Restock-request-from-Etsy-750x680.webp 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With an Etsy subscription, shoppers can request to receive an email when a sold-out item restocks.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-f9e75be3 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-9e4da35c alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-20e2a02c\" id=\"cta-mid\"><p class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Upgrade with Etsy Plus.

Other discounts &amp; perks <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Etsy Plus benefits mentioned above, Etsy Premium offers a range of other discounts and perks to help you save money. For example, you can get discounts on custom packaging, promotional materials, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-etsy-shipping-boxes\">#1. Etsy shipping boxes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to personalize your online store, use <strong>custom delivery boxes<\/strong>. With Etsy Plus, you can access discounts on these boxes if you&#8217;re<strong> based in the US, Canada, European Union, or the United Kingdom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-business-cards-printables\">#2. Business cards &amp; printables <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As an Etsy Plus member, you can save up to 30% on your order<strong> of business cards and printables<\/strong> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moo.com\/ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Moo<\/a>. This online print and design company lets you create custom business cards, flyers, and other promotional materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-etsy-premium\">Cons of Etsy Plus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Etsy Plus subscription offers several benefits, it&#8217;s important to be aware of its drawbacks as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-only-5-ads-credit-offer\">1. Only a $5 ad credit offer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s true, you only get $5 in Etsy ads credits, and that doesn&#8217;t seem fair. <strong>You have to pay money each time someone clicks on your ad (PPC), <\/strong>and the more you pay, the higher your ad appears on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with so many sellers competing for top spots on every search page, it can cost a lot of money just to get your ad noticed<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, some sellers end up paying as much as $1 for each click, and there&#8217;s no guarantee that they&#8217;ll make any sales as a result. Therefore, a $5 credit might not be enough to get you very far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-disappointing-discounts\">2. Disappointing discounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love a cute custom shipping box? It&#8217;s a great marketing tool, but it <strong>might not be worth the expense for new sellers or those with small profits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Etsy Plus discount for custom shipping boxes is also<strong> unclear and only available to the US, Canada, European Union, or United Kingdom sellers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for discounts on printed materials like business cards and stickers &#8211; the discounts are good, but the company that Hover partners with is pricey. You can probably find a better deal elsewhere without the Etsy Plus discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-1-year-domain-name-availability\">3. 1-year domain name availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, if you sign up for Etsy Plus, you can get up to 50% off on domains that direct to your Etsy shop.<strong> However, it&#8217;s essential to remember that this discount applies for only ONE year, and the domain can ONLY link to your Etsy store.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, it may be a bit questionable to register a domain through Etsy, especially if you plan to launch your own website in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens if you cancel your subscription and Etsy buys your domain? It&#8217;s something to consider before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-38885\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Etsy-plus-pros-and-cons.webp\" alt=\"Etsy plus pros and cons\" class=\"wp-image-38885\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Etsy-plus-pros-and-cons.webp 776w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Etsy-plus-pros-and-cons-300x198.webp 300w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Etsy-plus-pros-and-cons-768x506.webp 768w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Etsy-plus-pros-and-cons-750x494.webp 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Etsy plus pros and cons<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-sign-up-for-etsy-plus\">How to Sign Up for Etsy Plus?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to know how to subscribe to the Etsy plan?
