how to close a shop on etsy

Hi, I’m sorry to hear that you have to close your shop. I have been selling on Etsy for over 7 years and I have closed my shop twice for different reasons.

The first thing you need to do is to complete and ship your pending orders as soon as possible. You can also contact your customers and let them know that you are closing your shop and thank them for their support. 

You can also offer them a coupon or a discount for future purchases if you plan to reopen your shop later. Next, you need to close your shop by following these steps1:

On Etsy.com, go to Shop Manager.

Go Settings and select Options.

Select the Close Shop tab.

Select your reason for closing your shop from the dropdown menu.

Select Close Shop.

Please answer the short survey before closing your shop.

Once you close your shop, it may take some time for the system to process your request. Your Etsy account will become a buyer-only account with no visible shop. You can still access your existing orders, and you can reopen your shop at any time.

Closing your shop will not affect your account or your future sales. However, you may want to update your shop policies, announcement, and about section to reflect your current status. You may also want to keep in touch with your customers and followers through social media, email, or messages. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best.
