Tech Updates: Showcase System Upgraded

Good news, sellers! We've upgraded the Showcase system, making it faster and easier to use. The Main Showcase goes on sale at 1:30 pm today, and you can sign up for a spot at the Showcase Gateway. Previously, only Category Showcases were appearing under the Showcase link in Your Etsy. Now all of the Showcase spots you've booked will appear there. You'll also see the name of the Showcase on your bill, so it should be much easier to keep track of the spots you have purchased.

Those of you who have purchased Category Showcases (the Showcases that appear at the top of each category) should already be familiar with the new system. Instead of pulling from your Featured items (the items that appear at the top of your shop), each Showcase has its own item queue you can rearrange. When you sign up for a Showcase spot, it will pull the 10 most recently listed items into the queue. You can add other items, remove items, and change the order from the Showcase page in Your Etsy.

For more information on how the Showcase works, including step-by-step instructions, read our Showcase How-To.

For a general introduction to Showcase, read Matt's Storque article 13.5 Questions about the Showcase and for deeper thoughts on figuring out if Showcase is right for you, see Beth's Showcase Deconstructed article.
