Ecommerce news: Etsy Payments and PayPal business app

In our news round up this week, Etsy renames Direct Checkout, PayPal launches a new app for businesses, and Zenstores integrates with DPD.

Etsy payments mandatory

Etsy has renamed ‘Direct Checkout’ as ‘Etsy Payments’ and by 17 May all sellers must have Etsy Payments set up. Etsy Payments allows sellers to accept various payment methods including credit and debit cards, PayPal and gift cards.

If you already use Etsy’s payment system then you won’t need to make any changes. However, if you currently only accept payments through PayPal or manual payment methods you will need to start using Etsy Payments before 17 May, otherwise, your selling privileges will be suspended on 18 May. You can still choose to keep your PayPal sales separate.
