In April, Etsy introduced Etsy Payments, formerly known as Direct Checkout, and we are requiring that you set it up in your shop. We’ve heard your feedback, and we’re giving you two more weeks to set up Etsy Payments.
If you’re in an eligible country and don’t set up Etsy Payments by May 31, 2017, your selling privileges will be suspended and you’ll no longer be able to list new items and your listings will no longer be visible to buyers.
