Just follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to your <strong>Shop Manager<\/strong> in <strong>Etsy<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>Info &amp; Appearance<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the <strong>Shop name<\/strong> tab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your new shop name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Save<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all there is to it! After completing these steps, the change to your shop name should take effect immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"944\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-from-2024-01-22-23-54-08.png\" alt=\"Change your Etsy shop name in the Etsy Shop Manager\" class=\"wp-image-1623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-from-2024-01-22-23-54-08.png 944w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-from-2024-01-22-23-54-08-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-from-2024-01-22-23-54-08-768x551.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 944px) 100vw, 944px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_a_new_shop_name\"><\/span>Choosing a new shop name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking the right name for your Etsy shop is more than just a creative challenge; it&#8217;s a crucial business decision. The wrong name might hinder your shop&#8217;s potential, while the right one can boost your business and strengthen customer connections. Your shop&#8217;s name is not just a label &#8211; it&#8217;s the heart of your brand&#8217;s identity and a key to attracting and engaging customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Forget_about_SEO\"><\/span>Forget about SEO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This might sound surprising, but you don&#8217;t need to focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/etsy-seo-tools\">Etsy SEO<\/a> when naming your shop. Even if a shop name has a role in SEO, which is itself a debatable point, there are more crucial aspects to consider, like branding. Concentrate on how your name represents your brand identity and how it resonates with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflect on the well-known brands that you can easily recall. How many of them have keywords in their names? Aren&#8217;t they typically names that are memorable but don\u2019t necessarily have a specific meaning? Your aim should be to choose a name that sticks in the minds of your customers, not because it&#8217;s a bundle of keywords, but because it&#8217;s unique and emblematic of your brand&#8217;s story and character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pick_a_name_thats_easy_to_understand_and_remember\"><\/span>Pick a name that&#8217;s easy to understand and remember<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a shop name that is easy to understand, pronounce, and remember. This is especially important in a global marketplace like Etsy, where buyers from around the world should feel comfortable using your shop name. A name that transcends language barriers not only becomes memorable but also enhances the accessibility of your shop to potential buyers globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensure_the_name_is_available_on_Etsy\"><\/span>Ensure the name is available on Etsy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before settling on a new name, ensure it&#8217;s not already in use on Etsy. Keep in mind that you can\u2019t use the names of <a href=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/top-etsy-shops\">currently active Etsy shops<\/a> or the old names of existing Etsy shops. The easiest way to find out if a name is available is by testing it in an Etsy URL. Simply go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/<new-shop-name&gt;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/new-shop-name<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace <em>new-shop-name<\/em> with the name you are considering. If the page doesn&#8217;t exist, the name is likely available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_if_the_name_works_well_with_Google\"><\/span>Check if the name works well with Google<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s crucial to check if your chosen shop name is not just unique on Etsy, but also unused by other brands outside the platform. Even if a name isn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/essential-rules-for-selling-on-etsy\">trademarked<\/a>, using a name that&#8217;s already associated with another company could overshadow your presence. Ultimately, you&#8217;ll want your shop to be easily discoverable on Google and other search engines. Therefore, ensuring your shop name is distinct and unique in the wider market is key to building a strong online presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_ideas_from_friends_and_family\"><\/span>Get ideas from friends and family<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate to involve your friends and family in the brainstorming process. They can offer fresh perspectives and ideas that you might not have considered. Their diverse viewpoints can lead to creative and unique name suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_ideas_from_ChatGPT\"><\/span>Get ideas from ChatGPT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for unique and creative shop name ideas, <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.openai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a> can be a valuable resource. It can generate a variety of suggestions tailored to your shop&#8217;s theme or the essence of your brand. This approach allows you to explore a range of inventive and original names, offering fresh perspectives that might not have occurred to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Select_the_right_name_format\"><\/span>Select the right name format<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your shop name consists of multiple words, capitalize each word. This enhances readability and makes the name more visually appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_a_name_you_love\"><\/span>Choose a name you love<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the most important factor in choosing your Etsy shop name is that it resonates with your personally. Select a name that you&#8217;re passionate about, one that reflects your brand&#8217;s story and values. A name you love will not only inspire your business journey but also genuinely connect with your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Choosing-a-new-etsy-shop-name-1024x614.png\" alt=\"Choosing a new Etsy shop name\" class=\"wp-image-1617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Choosing-a-new-etsy-shop-name-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Choosing-a-new-etsy-shop-name-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Choosing-a-new-etsy-shop-name-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Choosing-a-new-etsy-shop-name-1536x922.png 1536w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Choosing-a-new-etsy-shop-name-2048x1229.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etsy_shop_name_criteria\"><\/span>Etsy shop name criteria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing your Etsy shop name, it&#8217;s important to be aware of Etsy&#8217;s technical restrictions. You can\u2019t just choose a random sequence of characters and use it as a name. Here are the key limitations to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The shop name should not be longer than 20 characters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spaces are not allowed in the shop name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punctuation, symbols, or other special characters are not permitted. You&#8217;re limited to using Latin letters and numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/How-to-name-your-business-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"How to name your business\" class=\"wp-image-1619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/How-to-name-your-business-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/How-to-name-your-business-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/How-to-name-your-business-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/koalanda.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/How-to-name-your-business.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These rules are designed to keep shop names simple and consistent across the platform.

Your customers can access your shop using the new URLs which will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>https:\/\/new-shop-name.etsy.com<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/new-shop-name<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These new URLs reflect your updated shop name, ensuring customers can find your shop easily under its new identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_old_shop_URL_will_still_work\"><\/span>Your old shop URL will still work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The original URL of your Etsy shop will remain valid even after the name change. This means that your existing customers will still be able to find your shop quickly and easily. Moreover, any links you have previously shared across social media or the internet will still be functional. These links will automatically redirect users to your new shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_previous_shop_name_remains_reserved\"><\/span>Your previous shop name remains reserved<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After changing your Etsy shop name, your old shop name will still be reserved for you. This means that no one else will be able to create a new shop with your previous name, safeguarding your brand&#8217;s legacy and preventing potential confusion among customers who may be familiar with your old name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_shop_icon_will_be_decorated\"><\/span>You shop icon will be decorated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the name change of your Etsy shop, an icon will be displayed to notify your customers about this update.

It will be present for 45 days, providing ample time for both new and returning customers to become accustomed to your shop&#8217;s new name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_after_changing_your_shop_name\"><\/span>What to do after changing your shop name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your Etsy shop name might seem like the major hurdle, but it&#8217;s actually just the beginning. Depending on how established your business is, you may find there&#8217;s a significant amount of work to do following the change.
