Are you planning to take a break from your Etsy shop for a while? Whether it’s a vacation or an unexpected emergency, it’s important to let your customers know that you won’t be available for a certain period of time.
One way to do this is by setting up a vacation message on your Etsy shop. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to put a vacation message on Etsy.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Etsy Account
The first step is to sign in to your Etsy account. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Shop Manager” tab located on the top right corner of the page.
Step 2: Go to Your Shop Settings
In the “Shop Manager” dashboard, click on “Settings” and select “Options.”
Step 3: Set Up Your Vacation Message
Scroll down until you see the “Vacation Mode” section. Here, you can set up your vacation message by selecting the checkbox that says “Turn On Vacation Mode.”
Once you turn on vacation mode, you will see a text box where you can write your vacation message. This is where you can let your customers know when you will be away and when they can expect their orders to be shipped.
Pro tip:
Keep your message short and sweet but informative. Include details such as when you’ll be back, if there are any delays expected in shipping times and any other relevant information.
You can also choose whether or not you want customers to be able to purchase items from your shop while you’re away. If you select “No,” then customers won’t be able to buy anything from your shop until you turn off vacation mode.
Step 4: Customize Your Shop Banner (Optional)
If desired, you can also customize your shop banner by selecting the “Customize Your Shop” button located on the right side of the page. Here, you can upload a banner image that will be displayed on your shop page while you’re away.
Step 5: Save Changes
Once you’re done writing your vacation message and customizing your shop banner, click on “Save Changes” to activate your vacation mode.
Conclusion
Setting up a vacation message on Etsy is an important step that every seller should take when they plan to take some time off. It’s a simple process that can save you from losing potential customers and keep your existing customers happy. By following these easy steps, you can set up your vacation message in no time!
