Etsy makes public experiments of new features or options it is testing on its platform. In most cases only a few buyers or sellers will see these tests.
Whenever we learn of a new test, we will publish it on our site. You can also check all current tests by following this link.
When a test has concluded, we will update the title of the post as [Closed], meaning the test has ended.
A concluded test does not mean the feature is live or will go live soon. Sometimes Etsy may decide the feature or option it was testing wasn’t generating the results they expected.
