When Need an Alternative to Etsy
Etsy is an excellent marketplace for crafty founders to find their first customers — but it has its limitations. A great way to test the waters is to add a personal website or marketplace to your current Etsy store and focus on traffic and marketing campaign analytics. In fact, many Shopify merchants who started on Etsy choose to keep their Etsy store while growing their Shopify store, creating higher growth potential.
Etsy is a great place to test your concepts, build an audience and develop the foundation you need to succeed. At some point, though, it might be time to take the next step and move to an alternative to Etsy. Exceeding the size of your Etsy store is a good sign -- it's a sign that your business has proven its potential to grow and thrive.
You can start with Shopify and a simple Etsy sales channel integration and test it for free for 14 days before you submit it.
