Setting Up an Etsy Shop | Everything I’ve Learned So Far (2021)

February 19, 2021 by Jennifer Moore 1 Comment

Recently, I set up shop on Etsy and learned a lot in the process so I want to share that knowledge with you. I’m going over topics such as registering a business, state sales tax, getting a reseller license, shipping supplies and bookkeeping.

Keep in mind, I live and do business in the state of Florida, so be sure to research the equivalent aspect in your location.

    Hi Jennifer! I just recently relocated to Florida and need to get everything taken care of for my Etsy shop. All of this is so confusing to me. Did you have to file a DBA for your business? I think I have to but I want to make sure before I go through all the steps.
