Etsy Coupons & Promo Codes

Etsy, founded in 2005, is an online marketplace where independent businesses, artists, crafters and collectors can sell their wares. Unlike large e-retailers like Amazon, everything offered on Etsy is produced, curated and sold by independent sellers. Etsy is known for one-of-a-kind items, from handmade toys to vintage apparel. The platform is also celebrated because the majority of its independent businesses are run by women.

The easy-to-use Etsy interface lets customers shop for items by specific keyword or general category. Popular categories include personalized gifts, jewelry and accessories, clothing and shoes, home and living, wedding and party, art and collectibles, and craft supplies. For shoppers with an Etsy account, the retailer will provide suggestions based on past purchases and browsing history.
