Etsy globally expands payment platform

Etsy is offering its proprietary digital payment service in seven additional countries.

The handmade and vintage goods e-commerce retailer is now enabling sellers in Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa, Turkey, and the Philippines to enroll in Etsy Payments. Sellers who join Etsy Payments are able to offer multiple secure payment options, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal (except Israel and Turkey), Etsy gift cards, and all major credit card networks.

Sales made through Etsy Payments are eligible for Etsy’s seller protection policy, which increases support for sellers during buyer issues. The platform also streamlines the management of an Etsy shop’s financial information in one place and provides fast, flexible deposits. 

“We’re excited about the continued global expansion of Etsy Payments, which benefits both sellers and buyers as we work to make relevant payment options available across our global marketplace,” said Kruti Patel Goyal, Etsy chief product officer. “And we’re not stopping with these seven markets — we plan on rolling out Etsy Payments in at least three more markets this year.”
