Where to Find Apps to Run Your Etsy Store

Need some extra help running your Etsy shop? Try installing some Etsy applications. Apps are available to handle all the tasks you perform when running your Etsy shop. They help you minimize the hassle of international shipping (ATS International Shipping), manage your inventory (RunInventory), handle taxes (TaxTime), renew listings (Clockbot), and more.

Third-party vendors develop most apps. That's a tech-y way of saying that although you can access the apps from Etsy's website, Etsy didn't build them. And that's a polite way of saying that if you have a problem with an app, don't bug Etsy about it; bug the company that actually made the app.

You can find out what apps are available by browsing the App Gallery. To access it, log in to your Etsy account, click the Your Account link that appears along the top of any Etsy page, and click the Etsy Apps link under Resources on the left side of the page. To view shop-related apps, click the Shop Tools link on the left side of the page.

Click an app's link to find out more about the app. To download it, click the Visit Website button that appears on the app's page and follow the onscreen instructions. (The precise steps vary by app.)

Check out the Etsy Blog's "Handmade Code" series; it highlights the newest, coolest Etsy apps. To find it, simply click the Blog link along the top of any Etsy page and search for "Handmade Code."
