Changing Your Etsy Username: A Step-by-Step Guide
Are you looking to refresh your Etsy presence with a new username? Whether it's a rebranding effort or simply a desire for a different identity, changing your Etsy username is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to update your username hassle-free:
1. Accessing Your Etsy Account Settings
Log in to your Etsy account and navigate to the top-right corner of the screen. Click on your profile picture or avatar, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
2. Locating the Username Section
Once in your account settings, scroll down to find the "Public Profile" section. Under this section, you'll see the field labeled "Username."
3. Checking Username Availability
Enter your desired new username in the provided field. Etsy will automatically check the availability of the username. If your chosen username is available, a green checkmark will appear. If not, you'll need to select a different username.
4. Confirming the Change
After selecting an available username, Etsy will prompt you to confirm the change. Review the new username carefully to ensure it's the one you want to switch to. Once confirmed, proceed by clicking "Save Changes."
5. Completion and Verification
Congratulations! You've successfully changed your Etsy username. Your new username will now be visible across your shop and profile.
Important Notes:
- Etsy allows a username change only once, so choose wisely.
- Your shop URL will remain the same after the username change. However, your new username will be displayed on your shop and profile pages.

Changing your Etsy username can give your brand a fresh perspective and attract new attention. However, it's crucial to select a username that resonates with your brand identity and is memorable for your customers.
