Etsy to launch domestic shipping labels for sellers in India

Etsy, the global marketplace for unique and creative goods, has partnered with Shiprocket, a leading e-commerce enablement platform, to launch its domestic shipping label service in India. This partnership provides the thousands of small and local sellers on Etsy in the country with a more convenient and seamless way to manage their shipping needs on the Etsy platform.

Since entering India in 2018, Etsy has been dedicated to empowering small businesses and strengthening communities across the country. By introducing domestic shipping labels with the help of Shiprocket, Etsy is further expanding its commitment to support and enable Indian sellers to reach a wider audience and grow their businesses, the companies said in a joint press release.

With the launch of the domestic shipping label service in partnership with Shiprocket, Etsy sellers in India can now purchase shipping labels on Shiprocket through their Shop Manager on the Etsy platform and have seamless access to carriers such as Delhivery, Blue Dart and many more at competitive prices. All labels have tracking IDs, so buyers can follow their order’s journey; tracking is automatically added to the order with no additional action required by the seller, making the process effortless. The labels help ensure an order’s eligibility for Etsy’s Purchase Protection programme, which safeguards sellers if their eligible orders get lost or are damaged in transit.

“At Etsy, we are focused on empowering small businesses with the tools they need to reach our global audience of more than 100 million buyers. We are happy to introduce domestic shipping labels for sellers in India, streamlining the shipping process and helping in providing more protection for sellers in India. This will also enhance the shopping experience for buyers as we continue to grow the Etsy business in India,” Pankaj Jathar, vice-president and country head India, Etsy, said.

"At Shiprocket, we are committed to create a tech-friendly and inclusive ecosystem for domestic sellers and help them grow. Our objective through this partnership is to offer an effortless shipping experience to the vast network of Etsy sellers in India. By streamlining and enhancing their shipping requirements, our aim is to empower them to expand their customer base and effectively achieve their business goals,” Saahil Goel, co-founder and CEO, Shiprocket, said.
