Shop Sections

Now that you have listings in your shop, it’s time to organize them.

Shop sections (also called categories) help your customers:

• Find what they’re looking for faster
• Browse your shop more easily
• Understand what you offer at a glance

Even if you only have a few listings now, setting this up early makes your shop feel much more professional.

Shop sections are like folders for your products.

Instead of all your listings being in one long row, you can group them into categories like:

• Logos
• Branding Kits
• Social Media Templates
• Website Templates

👉 This makes your shop easier to navigate.

Let’s get you there:

1. Go to Etsy
2. Click Shop Manager
3. Click Listings
4. Look for “Sections” (usually on the right side)
5. Click “Add Section”

👉 This is where you create and manage your categories.

Once you click “Add Section”:

1. Type your section name
2. Click Save

That’s it — your section is created.

After creating your sections:

1. Go to your listings
2. Click on a listing to edit it
3. Find the “Section” dropdown
4. Select the section you want
5. Save your listing

👉 You can also bulk edit listings to save time.

Keep it simple, especially in the beginning.

Good examples: #

• Logos
• Branding Kits
• Templates
• Social Media
• Website

If you’re just starting: #

Even 2–3 sections is enough.

👉 You can always add more later.

Beginner Tips for Naming Sections #

• Keep names short and clear
• Use words your customers understand
• Avoid being too creative or vague

Example: #

Instead of:
“Creative Assets”

Use:
“Branding Kits”

👉 Clarity always wins.

1. Not using sections at all #

Everything ends up cluttered.

2. Creating too many sections #

This can be just as confusing as none.

3. Using unclear names #

If customers don’t understand it, they won’t click it.

4. Not assigning listings #

Creating sections without using them does nothing.

Before moving on:

✔ At least 2–3 sections created
✔ Section names are clear
✔ Listings assigned to sections
✔ Shop feels more organized
