 Update Your Tax Settings
We're happy to announce that the much-anticipated new Checkout will support collecting sales tax.
You can go to your Tax Settings to set tax rates for U.S. states, Canadian provinces, and countries where you would like to collect sales tax. You can also indicate whether the tax rate for each region should apply to shipping charges.
Important: If you would like to collect sales tax from buyers who use the new Checkout, please set your rates by 12 a.m. ET, Thursday, August 26.
Learn more about collecting sales tax with the new Checkout on the Etsy Blog.
 A Thought About Big Brands
I recently read a blog post about Levi's Worshop, a space dedicated to supporting culture and community.
"Many companies are beginning to acknowledge the shift from just making good products to providing meaningful experiences," says the author, Kristina Loring.
Creative independent business owners usually don't have to make a shift. We have direct access to each and every customer, so making conversations and transactions meaningful and personal should be natural. My advice is to be careful not to copy the archaic language and practices of business past. Be yourself and make big brands jealous! Do you agree? Let me know (and find a few more inspiring reads) in this Etsy forum thread.
 Tips From The Binding Bee
"I tell everyone I meet about Etsy and always have a business card in hand. I also carry my personal journal in my purse and pull it out as a sample anytime someone asks what I do for a living. Word-of-mouth promotion and attending craft shows have been my most successful marketing tools." Find more advice from our latest seller to be featured in the Quit Your Day Job series here.
