Etsy accounts

Manage multiple Etsy accounts with separate browser profiles

Etsy sellers sometimes run several shops, and the people who help them, such as designers and virtual assistants, often work in more than one.

Who runs several Etsy accounts

  • Sellers with shops for different product lines
  • Assistants and agencies helping several shops
  • Sellers who keep a buying account apart from their shop accounts

What goes wrong in a single browser

A normal browser keeps one set of cookies and one device identity for everything you open in it. Etsy shop accounts hold orders, messages and payout details. In one browser they share cookies and saved logins, and a reply sent from the wrong shop is easy to make.

Our beginner’s guide to managing multiple accounts explains the problem in more detail.

How VANE keeps your Etsy accounts apart

One profile per account

Each Etsy account lives in its own profile, with its own cookies and storage. Nothing is shared between profiles.

Its own network address

Give a profile its own HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy and test it before you open the browser.

Details that agree

Time zone and language follow the profile’s country, so the address, the clock and the language tell the same story.

Set up once, reopen any time

A profile keeps its cookies and settings between sessions. You open it and carry on.

Check Etsy’s rules first

Whether you may run more than one Etsy account, and how, is set by Etsy, not by your browser. Read Etsy’s Terms of Use before you start, and follow them. Breaking a platform’s rules can lead to accounts being closed, whatever tool you use.

Read Etsy’s policies on shops and accounts before you start. Where Etsy offers a way to give someone access to your shop, prefer it to sharing your password.

Questions about Etsy and VANE

Can I use more than one Etsy account?

That depends on Etsy’s own rules, which can change. Read its terms and policies before you open or manage more than one account, and follow them. VANE is a browser: it keeps your accounts organised and separate, and it does not change what Etsy allows.

Does VANE log in to Etsy for me?

No. VANE is a browser. You sign in yourself, in a profile of your own, and the cookies stay in that profile.

Do I need a separate proxy for each Etsy profile?

If you do not want accounts linked by network address, give each profile its own address, in the region that matches the account, and check your proxy provider’s rules too. Our guide to SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies explains the options.

How can I check a profile before I use it for Etsy?

Run it through free test pages for fingerprint, WebRTC and DNS leaks. Our guides explain what each test shows and how to read it.
