How do I purchase an item on Etsy?

Step 1: Add an Item to Your Cart

When you find an item you want to buy, click Add to Cart on the item listing page.

If the item you want to purchase has options to choose from, like size, color, or shape, you will have to select each option before you can add it to your Cart.  

Access your Cart at any time by clicking the cart icon at the top right of the site. From there, proceed to purchase or continue shopping. You're welcome to add multiple items from different Etsy shops to your Cart.

Step 2: Add Order Details

In your cart, you can select a shipping destination, review the cost of the item, or change the quantity you'd like to purchase, if the seller has more than 1 available.

If there's anything you need to tell the seller, you can do so in the Note to... field.

If you have a coupon code, click Apply coupon code and then Apply after entering your code.

Proceed to Checkout when you're ready.

Depending on your payment method, your path will be slightly different.

Step 3: Select Payment Method

Step 4: Submit Your Order

You'll have a chance to review your information before submitting your order.

If needed, you can click Change Shipping Address below the address.

To complete the process, click Submit Order. You will see a confirmation that your order is complete.

Congratulations! You've just made a purchase on Etsy. Etsy will send an email to you and the shop.
