We have updated the "Etsy Shop" application for Facebook, a social networking site many Etsians use. The "Etsy Shop" application is like the Etsy mini but specifically for Facebook. We’re finding more and more Etsians — buyers and sellers — are using Facebook to spread the word about Etsy items and events, and this tool lets sellers show up to 6 of their items from their Etsy shops.
Here's a quick How-To to help you add an "Etsy Shop" to your Facebook profile.
Log in to (or create) your Facebook account and click here to go to the "Etsy Shop" application page. You'll see a screen like you see below — enter your Etsy username, the number of items you want to show on your Facebook Profile, select where you want the items to feed in from and how you want them sorted. Click "Add." Now that you have that set up, click "Home" right above where you see "Etsy Shop." Here you'll see the option to add this application to your profile.

Like many social networking sites, Facebook allows users to create groups, and there are lots you should check out…And you gotta register to be able to see those, so join us! Click here!
If you have any problems with the application, we can't give tech support here on this post! Please leave a comment on the app's page on Facebook.
Find out more about social networking sites and tools.
Check out Social Bookmark & Share on Etsy.com.
NOTE: We first posted about this on the Etsy Garden blog way back when. Kelly, aka kfarrell, a true geek at heart, originally whipped up this app back in the day.

CaprichosDePapel

oh well! lol
pookeh
hot damn, is there anything kelly can't do? she's all over the place!
Lollibomb
Kelly can do anything, including make macaroni and cheese from scratch...Or so I've heard. ;)
rachellucie
I can't get it to work at all. Can anyone help or explain where I put the flash code in facebook to use etsy mini?
coffeebreakdesigns
Thank you for the tips! I'm on Facebook every day anyway!
EarthlyGoods1
I see this is an old post-but can anyone tell me how to access this application to add it to my facebook? Thanks!
BabbidgePatch
I haven't ventured into facebook world yet - this may be the motivation :)
herbanlifestyle
Great idea! I don't like to add a lot of apps to my FB page, but this is a must-have!
SlinkyCalhoun
Awesome! I was so sad when it got moved to a different tab on Facebook!
wireddesign
ooh ooh! Can't wait to add this to my Facebook page!! Thank you!
NinaGibsonDesigns
I just put it on my facebook and I know it's brought at least one sale. Yay!
circlesareforever
I shall try this! I always wondered if this was an option. YIPPY!
PinsandNeedlesBasket
Wonderful! First thing i'm doing when I get home from work is adding it to my facebook!
accentyourself
I started with this app, but changed it to an Etsy Mini code added in "My Stuff", then added it to my wall. How is the newer version different? Is it different from the Etsy Mini?
BizzieLizzie
YAYYYY - I just did it and it LOOKS AWESOME!! Thanks so much for posting on twitter!! =0)
happywhosits
I added to my facebook page last week, but I haven't figured out yet how it pulls the items. It's not the featured items in our shop.

Slowshirts
I just added it, and it worked great, but it went to my personal page. Is there a way to direct it to my slowshirts facebook page? I'm just not getting how to do that.
OrdinaryMommy
Wow! This is exciting! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
bellabijoujewellery
YAY Ive been waiting for this application to get updated!
LilThunder
facebook got me some pretty good sales around christmas by updating my soap photo albums and status updates and links to my etsy page. friends you haven't seen in a while get pretty impressed! good way to network with old friends and new!
surly
Once you add the app do this on the app page to get it to work
(Thanks to Mai Lei for instructions):
1. Type in your Etsy username, without the url. Just the username.
2. In the "Items to Show" box, type the number 6.
3. Click "shop" or "favorites," depending on what you want to showcase.
jillhannah
oh hallelujah praise the Etsy!
Ok, random people I barely know who like to friend me on Facebook, here's your chance to prove you care by buying things from me!
laralewis
this is great! and even though i strongly lack in technical abilities i was able to make it work. thanks! :)
tramplamps
mine always says my shop is empty on my facebook etsy app - hmm i must be doing something wrong
tramplamps
ok i think it works now - i put on my magic shoes and now it works
ArtaLaMode
i can't get it to work. i wonder if you have to do something different for mac users? or perhaps its not mac friendly? Either that or I'm just completely lost...HELP!
hempandmore
AWESOME, thanks! I posted this news ON Facebook on the Etsy Apps page, and a couple Etsy Team groups there hehe!
ArtaLaMode
ok, I take that back.. I got it running on my facebook now. I wish there was a way to choose WHICH items to showcase, like etsy mini does.
simplewhimsey
thanks!, I love that.
artalamode - it will show your top 6 items- I renewed an item so it would be in the top and shown on my facebook page.
strawberryluna
Hey! Yay! Thank you for fixing this app. I can't tell you how many times I installed and uninstalled it. Super news, thanks!
BritmericaLane
This is good - every bit helps.
Didn't have any problems installing it whatsoever.
Wish it kept updating items instead of showing the same ones - like a slide show.
BarkerBell
This is great! I just added it and it was really easy to use! Thanks!
CinfulArt
Perfect timing. I'm also a FaceBook newbie and trying to figure out how all of this works. Thank you...
AwApplesauce
I had no idea there was an Etsy facbook application! I think I'm going to have to make an exception to my I-hate-apps rule!
shopgoodgrace
oh my gosh! I just got started on facebook last weekend. this will be too much fun! thank you!!
OrganicPanic
I have just started my facebook and cant wait to connect it to my ETSY.
manamoon
Very cool app! You just motivated me to open a Facebook profile - thanks!
DeanDymentStudios
I tried to get this application to work before and it just wouldn't but today everything looks great. Thanks.
eraseandrepeat
aaaahhhh! this is so cool! just added the application to my facebook. yay!!
theduskyjewel
Great news, we are already on facebook and eager to try this out!
hannahwalkerjeweller
Ok. I'm being really stupid because I just don't know how to do this. I want to tell the world about Etsy. How do I do it?
BeEntangled
I'm such a newbie, anything I can soak up and use is wonderful to me. I have not yet started a facebook and am still wondering if I should, but this will be wonderful if I do. Thanks!!!
ChrissyAnnCeramics
I just hooked my facebook up! Yay!
It looks good thank you! :)
Hendywood
I did it! This is great! Thanks to Surly for outlining the minor details that were sorely needed by a tech-flunky like me!
LazyTcrochet
I did this the other day, but it's not updating like the mini does. Any ideas?
MadMaggieDesigns
YAY!!!!! Thank you! I have had more new orders from FB than all others! Thanks so much for the help Etsy!
meredithdillman
great! I've been using the bookmark and share a lot. It means I don't have to login to all those sites separately.
phippsart
I thought it already WAS working! Oh well, I'll just keep using it!
perryjayne
I tried to add it, It said I couldn't. I added it anyway. Then it shows that my shop is empty and it is not. HELP!
FiveSparrows
I have been trying to get something like this going, but was failing-this worked great!! Thanks!!
marzipan
Super! Looks great! But there isn't a link to Etsy, or my shop. You can click on a picture to get there though. Did I miss a step?
Thanks!
trashcanpottery
Heh of course two days after I thought to search etsy on facebook and found the application here it is. ;)
tinymeat
It worked great for us. The ability to click through to individual items is great.

SewDanish
No idea what I'm doing wrong. At first my shop was "unknown". Then reinstalled it and now my shop is "empty".... HELP
dezignsbysheila
Thanks Bunch!!! Been wanting to do that for some time now!
indoorgirl
I've been corresponding with Facebook - actually I've been asking them for help and they have been sending back automatic answers that do not help - and I should have gone to ETSY for the answers first; thanks for making this available!!
VividTexture
This looks better and works better than the My Stuff application - Yay!! Very easy to use. One comment, looks like the shop name doesn't come up. Is that something that will be added?
tiedyedmonkeys
Thanks for the info. I just love the way etsy is always providing useful tips.
scrapbookcompleted
Thanks for the info! I final got mine to work: http://www.facebook.com/editpicture.p...
thingomatic
cute, but i can't add it to my business page, only my personal page?
jimsmeltzgallery
This is great! I just downloaded my etsy shop to facebook. Woderful networking!
morebling
Hey this is great! I was trying to figure out a way to connect my facebook friends with Etsy.
tladesigns
Got it! Thank you, I hope everyone has success with this new approach. :)
LindaGJ
I tried to do the Etsy thing on my FaceBook, but I don't think it worked. Would yall send me some details?
Thanks,
Linda
floppypoppy
Thanks for giving me a great reason to stay on Facebook- my link to my Etsy shop!
BugsInRugs
Thanks so much for this - question, can I select which items to show, or must it be the most recently listed? I would like to be able to pick which items (like you do with featured items)
Thanks!
LuLusPhotography
awesome I was wondering about this and wondered if this day would ever come. It did and YEY!
elisasherejewelry
I didn't even know about this app. It looks great on my FB page, thanks!!!
Legacy925
It works! Thanks, Etsy, for making it easy for me to share my passion with my friends!
abbyhorowitzdesigns
This is so great - it was easy to do and looks fantastic! Thank you so much!
acidink
I just opened a facebook! I am sooooo glad to see this..I did it and it was super simple!
strawberrycouture
I like the way facebook works when I network directly from my shop where I can promote my hats. When i do that it immediately links my description and lets me choose which picture I want to display. No need to copy and paste.
ovgilliesdesigns
Thanks a lot for this application! Was dreading updating my Facebook page but this thing is just sooo easy to use!
Mattson
It was hard to post it to my profile; i had to try it a few times. but now it works! cool!
ArtworksbyDebi
I put it on, but is there any way to coose the items that show up from your shop? I have some things I really wanted on there.
peacefulmoments1

rabbitdance
Ooo, simple to use, and it looks great! ^_^ Thanks for this.
sean11
@thingomatic, just wanted to note that you can now add the Etsy Shop app to business pages on Facebook as well. Just click the "Add to Page" link on the Etsy Shop about page on Facebook.
cinnamonsoup
MAHALO!!! Can't wait to get this going on the site... Ohh the possibilities!
Aloha and
~Mahalo
LuckyZelda

dzdragonfly
thanks thanks thanks... now if i can just figure out to "plug" it in :-)
domosaics
I am having trouble. It states that there are kinks and to come back- anyone else having thbis problem?
CherryLaneJane
I can't get it to add my new items to the 6 photos...frustrated!!!! I love the app., if it would ever work when I try to use it :(
SquishyProducts
I've tried getting this app on my facebook several times and it won't work :( Hope it gets fixed soon
illustratedgarden
Still not working. The "working out the kinks" message repeatedly appears. Very frustrating!
lovepetals
This is great news! Especially since I am new to Etsy and Facebook. I amexpecting great things.
lovepetals
I went to my facebok page and attached it in seconds. I am soo excited! his is a great avenue to publicise my business.
PaintingsEtcetera
I added it to my profile page easily, but can't get it to show up on my artist's page.
CindyDouglass
I was very excited about this app, but after installing on Facebook, it appears to ONLY show up in my personal profile?
I HAD added it to my fan PAGE, and it shows up under Applications for that page, but I don't see it on the page itself. In the settings for the page all it says about Etsy is:
Etsy Shop | Display your most recent Etsy listings or Etsy Favorites on your Facebook profile.
In otherwords, why did I bother putting it in my Fan PAGE if it only shows under my personal profile where only my friends will see it?
Is it supposed to show up in the Fan page (as I assumed?). If yes, then what setting am I missing to make it appear in my fan PAGE.
If I can get this to show where I want it show, I'll be a happy little clam! Thanks for any help.
spugmeistress
would be great if this could be fixed to work on business/fan pages as well as personal pages - there's a huge discussion on the app page about people who can't get it to work but it doesn't seem to be being noticed!
TheLoudLion
this is really helpful! i will spread the word about Etsy on facebook!
thank you
:)
sealmaiden
oh wow, i was just signed up with facebook today and was trying to figure how to get etsy on my profile and VOILA just when i gave up for the day, the answer magically appeared right here on etsy ... FANTASTIC
linsjewelbox
i just read this articles and added the application to my profile. Oh, I LOVE it!!!
byTheada
Thank you so much. I added the application to my home page, it was so easy and looks awesome!! Now, I need to add my avatar so I can send out a message to my friends when I add something new in my shop. Hope its as easy!
DoodlebugAccessories
Thanks I just added that was easy enough I'm always learning something new.
BeadinAroundTheBlock
Is the connection going to be fixed? Been out for days? Any updates?????????????
TLCinspirations
When is the Etsy Shop application going to be available to put on Facebook Pages and not just your personal profile page? That would make a great "update" for the application :)
Thanks,
Rachel
samsstuff
Terrific! I have been wanting something like this to add to my page. Thank you!
lmturnedart
