To follow an Etsy shop, simply locate and click the "Follow" button typically found on the shop's main page. This action allows you to stay updated with new listings and shop announcements.
Why Follow an Etsy Shop?
Following your favorite Etsy shops offers several benefits, enhancing your shopping experience and connecting you with sellers whose products you love.
- Stay Updated: Be the first to know when a shop adds new items, restocks popular products, or announces sales and promotions.
- Personalized Feed: Your Etsy homepage may show more items from shops you follow, tailoring your browsing experience.
- Support Small Businesses: Following a shop is a simple yet effective way to show support for independent creators and small businesses on the platform.
- Easy Access: Keep a curated list of your preferred shops for quick access, making it easier to revisit them later.
Step-by-Step Guide to Following a Shop
Following a shop on Etsy is a straightforward process, whether you're browsing on a desktop computer or using the mobile app.
- Navigate to the Shop Page:
- Find an item you like from a specific shop and click on the shop's name (usually located near the product title or seller information).
- Alternatively, use the Etsy search bar to find a shop by its name.
- Locate the Follow Button:
- Once on the shop's main page, look for the "Follow" button. This button is typically prominent and easy to spot, often near the shop's banner image, name, or alongside other shop information.
- If you are already following the shop, this button will usually indicate that you are already following it (e.g., "Following").
- Click to Follow:
- Click the "Follow" button. It will then change to indicate that you are now following the shop.
Managing Your Followed Shops
Etsy makes it easy to keep track of all the shops you follow.
- Accessing Your Followed Shops:
- Log in to your Etsy account.
- On the desktop site, you can usually find a link to your "Followed Shops" or "Following" section under your account menu or on your homepage.
- On the Etsy app, this might be found within your profile or favorites section.
- Unfollowing a Shop: If you no longer wish to follow a shop, simply revisit their shop page and click the "Following" button again; it will toggle back to "Follow," effectively unfollowing the shop.
By following your favorite shops, you create a more personalized and engaging Etsy experience, ensuring you never miss out on new creations from the sellers you love.
