SHOP-SPECIFIC GIFT CERTIFICATES Sellers on Etsy may choose to offer gift certificates specifically for use in their own shops. Shop-specific gift certificates are not affiliated with Etsy Gift Cards. Gift certificates are governed by various local laws. It is the seller’s responsibility as a shop owner to comply with all applicable laws. Sellers must include this sentence in the item listing for your shop-specific gift certificate: "This Gift Certificate is valid only in my Etsy shop, and it is only redeemable here. This is not an Etsy Gift Card." Sellers must ensure that their shop-specific gift certificates cannot be confused with official Etsy Gift Cards. Refer to Etsy’s Trademark Guidelines. A shop-specific gift certificate must be listed and sold at full value. HELPFUL LINKS Buying a Gift Card FAQs FAQs for Members who’ve Received a Gift Card Gift Card FAQs for Etsy Sellers
