How Do You Apply for the Etsy Affiliate Program?

The Etsy affiliate program is managed through an affiliate network called AWIN. On AWIN’s site, you will need to apply as a publisher and wait to be approved. Prior to applying, you should have an established blog with high quality content. Etsy offers such a wide range of products that you can be a great fit for their program even if you do not have a craft or art blog.

After you are accepted, you can apply to become an Etsy affiliate from your AWIN dashboard. In addition to Etsy, you will be connected to a pool of thousands of affiliate programs in various niches. Each program has its own application approval process.

Step 5: Apply for the Etsy Affiliate Program

From the AWIN dashboard, go to the Advertisers menu tab. Select Join Programs. I am in the US so I searched for the Etsy US affiliate program.

As part of the Etsy affiliate application process, you will be required to provide a list of all of the Etsy shops that you are affiliated with or operate. More information is provided on the program overview page. When I applied, I was accepted to the US program within 2 business days. As a seller on Etsy, I communicated with them by email about shops that I operate and how I planned to promote Etsy as an affiliate.
