Sharing to Social Media from Your Shop
The Social media section in your shop allows you to quickly promote your shop and share important updates to sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest from your computer or the Sell on Etsy app.
There can be up to 6 categories relevant to your shop, such as:
Latest listings you’ve added (up to 25 of your most recent listings)
Recent milestones successes, like a shop birthday
Active or upcoming sales and coupons
5-star reviews
Items you’ve favorited
Shop updates (on the Sell on Etsy app only at this time)
From your computer, go to Shop Manager > Marketing > Social media.
You can also promote your shop on Facebook with Facebook Advertising.
On your computer, be sure to select Social accounts in the top right to connect to the social media accounts that are available.
