Effective March 2, 2026
Thank you for agreeing to participate in the invite only closed beta of Etsy Insider (the “Program”), a paid membership program that renews automatically. You understand this is a closed invitation only beta - which means we are giving you early access to a new product and things may change or not work quite as intended. Your participation and feedback can help Etsy build a better product for you and the entire Etsy community. You understand the Program may change in later betas and in later final versions of the Program.
You acknowledge and agree that by participating in the Program you are subject to these Closed Beta Program Terms, all of Etsy’s House Rules, including but not limited to the Etsy Terms of Use (including the limitation on warranties in Section 8, indemnification provisions of Section 9, and arbitration provisions in Section 11), and Etsy’s Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Terms”). The Program is part of the “Services” defined in the Terms, and all of the Terms are incorporated here by reference. You are bound to the Terms by participating in the Program.
1. Eligibility Requirements
You may only access and subscribe to the Program if you meet the following criteria (“Eligibility Requirements”):
- You must have received an invitation from Etsy to enroll in and participate in the Program;
- You must reside in the United States, be at least 18 years of age and capable of entering into a binding agreement; and
- You must have an active account with Etsy.
2. Program Types and Benefits
We may offer you at our discretion one or more Program membership types: a seasonal or annual membership subscription for a recurring fee. We may also offer, on a promotional basis at our discretion, a one-time paid trial of the Program. Your purchase of a preview or membership grants you access to certain benefits as outlined below (“Benefits”) for the period of time (the “Access Period”) you have elected. Your purchase of a preview, seasonal or annual membership and each Automatic Renewal (as defined in Section 3) is final and non-refundable. Etsy will not issue you a refund, including partial, prorated, or otherwise unless required to do so by law. As this is a beta program, some Benefits may not be available on the first day of your membership subscription but Etsy intends to make them available or redeemable within your Access Period.
SEASONAL MEMBERSHIP
The Seasonal membership subscription (“Seasonal”) is currently $24 for a three (3) month access period subject to any promotional pricing offered to you for the duration offered to you (the “Seasonal Fee”). The Seasonal Fee is subject to change. Etsy will notify you via the email associated with your Etsy account prior to any such change. Membership fees are subject to taxation in accordance with applicable federal or state law (“Applicable Taxes”). If you select a Seasonal membership subscription, you will receive access to the following Benefits while your membership is active:
-
Shipping Benefit: Etsy will cover domestic shipping costs of up to $6.00 per eligible order over $15 from sellers based in the United States (“Eligible Shop”) to any destination in the United States. Program shipping benefits may only be applied to the lowest cost shipping class offered by the seller. For items with shipping costs over $6.00, you are responsible for the remaining cost of shipping. Some sellers already offer free shipping. Digital items and items from an Eligible Shop that already ship for free do not count towards the $15 order minimum. Sellers and items that are eligible for this Program shipping benefit are subject to change.
-
Insider Perks: From time to time, Program members may get access to member-only offers and savings such as personalized offers and early access to limited-edition items. Access to and notifications about Insider Perks may be sent to you via e-mail and/or within the Program membership hub. Participating inventory may be limited and subject to availability from participating Etsy sellers.
-
Double Donate the Change: When you elect to Donate the Change for an order, Etsy will double the Donate the Change contribution made on the order.
- Etsy Insider Rewards: Program members are eligible to earn 5% of their Etsy purchase back in Etsy Credit. Rewards are calculated based on the subtotal of each completed order amount after all discounts, sales, and promotions have been applied and less any applied credits, discounts, sales, promotions, shipping, taxes, gift wrap, or any other fees. Etsy Credits earned in this matter (“Etsy Insider Rewards”) are governed by the Etsy Gift Cards, Credits & Coupons Policy Terms as modified by these Closed Beta Program Terms. Etsy Insider Rewards do not expire as long as you have an active Program subscription. If you cancel your subscription or your subscription is terminated for any reason, all unused Etsy Insider Rewards will expire at the end of your Access Period. Etsy Insider Rewards are earned and available for redemption when posted to your account. Etsy Insider Rewards are not legal tender, have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash. When you redeem Etsy Insider Rewards, the entire amount will be applied to your next purchase as a discount on Etsy. You cannot elect to apply only a portion of your Etsy Insider Rewards to a purchase. If your purchase is less than the amount of the Etsy Insider Rewards you have applied, the remaining amount will remain available as part of your Etsy Insider Rewards balance. You cannot earn or accumulate more than $2,000 in Etsy Insider Rewards. If you return any or all items from an order that earned Etsy Insider Rewards, the Etsy Insider Rewards earned on the items returned will be deducted from your Etsy Insider Rewards balance. If your balance is negative after such returns, Etsy Insider Rewards earned on future purchases will reduce your negative balance. Etsy Insider Rewards are nontransferable and may not be applied to subscriptions.
ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP
The Annual membership ("Annual") is currently $72 per year subject to any promotional pricing offered to you for the duration offered to you (the “Annual Fee”). The Annual Fee is subject to change. Etsy will notify you via the email associated with your Etsy account prior to any such change. Membership fees are subject to Applicable Taxes. If you select an Annual membership, in addition to the benefits listed above you will also receive access to the following Benefits while your membership is active:
- Birthday Bonus: A birthday promotional offer delivered before your provided birthday month and day. To receive the birthday offer, you must provide the month and day of your birthday as well as have a valid e-mail address. The birthday promotional offer will expire thirty (30) days after it is sent, and no more than one birthday promotional offer will be sent within a twelve (12) month period. Only one promotional offer may be redeemed at a time.
PREVIEWS
We may offer you, in our sole discretion, a one-time paid trial of a Program membership for a three (3) month access period (a "Preview"). Eligibility for and the offer to you of a Preview is in Etsy’s sole discretion. A Preview is made available as a one-time fixed period paid trial that automatically renews as an Annual membership. During your Preview, you will have access to the same Benefits available to Seasonal members for the Preview period.
3. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL; BILLING
EACH SEASONAL OR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP, AS APPLICABLE, WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF THEIR THEN-CURRENT ACCESS PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL OR TERMINATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP PRIOR TO RENEWAL. LIKEWISE, A PREVIEW WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AS AN ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP AT THE END OF ITS ACCESS PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL OR TERMINATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP PRIOR TO RENEWAL. EACH TIME YOUR MEMBERSHIP OR PREVIEW RENEWS (“AUTOMATIC RENEWAL”) IT RENEWS FOR AN ADDITIONAL ACCESS PERIOD AS FOLLOWS:
- SEASONAL MEMBERSHIPS WILL RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL 3-MONTH PERIODS THAT COMMENCE ON THE DAY AFTER THE PREVIOUS SEASONAL TERM ENDS;
- ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WILL RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL 12-MONTH PERIODS THAT COMMENCE ON THE DAY AFTER THE PREVIOUS ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP TERM ENDS; AND
- PREVIEWS WILL RENEW AS ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS FOR 12-MONTH PERIODS THAT COMMENCE ON THE DAY AFTER THE PREVIEW ENDS.
Your access to the “Benefits” begins on the date you enroll and pay the Seasonal, Annual, or Preview Fee (collectively, the “Fee”), as applicable, and continues until the end of your Access Period (unless your membership is terminated earlier). You authorize Etsy to automatically renew your membership as stated above, by charging the applicable then-current Fee plus any applicable taxes to the payment method you provided unless you cancel your membership as provided in Section 4 of these Closed Beta Program Terms.
If you opt out of Automatic Renewal or cancel or terminate your membership, your access to the Benefits will expire at the end of its specific Access Period. To access the Benefits after the termination of your membership, you will need to purchase a new membership. Introductory promotional pricing may no longer be available if you terminate your membership and sign up again. And Etsy Insider Rewards that expired when your membership ended will not be restored if you sign up again.
You are required to maintain accurate and up-to-date payment information. If your payment method fails, Etsy will notify you and you will have five (5) days to update your payment method after which time, Etsy will update your membership status as canceled. Etsy is not responsible or liable if you lose your access to Program Benefits if your membership fails to renew or otherwise expires because of outdated or incorrect payment information.
4. Cancellation by You
You may cancel the renewal of your Program membership at any time by selecting “Manage Membership” in the Etsy Insider membership hub or by following the instructions included in your purchase or renewal confirmation email. You may also contact Customer Support with a request to cancel. Your access to Program Benefits will continue until the end of your then-current Seasonal or Annual Access Period, at which point it will expire. If you cancel, you will not be eligible for initial promotional pricing offered to you.
5. Termination by Etsy
We may terminate your Program membership for any reason in our sole discretion, including without limitation our belief that your continued use of the Program would violate these Closed Beta Program Terms, any of Etsy’s House Rules, applicable law, constitutes fraudulent activity or abuse of the Program and/or any Benefit or is otherwise harmful to Etsy. Such a termination automatically ends any current Access Period.
6. Termination of the Program
Etsy Insider is a closed beta invite only membership program. Etsy reserves the right to modify, offer additional, or cease offering the Program or any Benefit at any time in its sole discretion, including but not limited to: changes in Fees, modifying Eligibility Requirements, modifying Program types or the features or functionality of the Program, or modifying any Benefit. If we stop offering the Program, your access to the Benefits will continue until the end of your then-current Access Period. We will provide you with notice before material changes in the Program take effect. Any changes to the Fees will only take effect upon your next Automatic Renewal.
7. Feedback
We appreciate receiving your feedback about the Program. Etsy may send you surveys from time to time to obtain your feedback about your experience with the Program. In exchange for your invitation to participate in the Program, you grant Etsy the right to use your feedback (legally, it’s an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide and royalty-free license to use any of your feedback as permitted by law - but this doesn’t mean Etsy owns it, just that we can use it) to improve the Program based on your and others’ feedback, and make this and related products and services even better.
