We, the Armenian Etsy seller community, respectfully ask Etsy to add Armenia to the list of countries eligible for Etsy Payments.

Armenian sellers have been working with Etsy for over 10 years, offering thousands of handmade items, digital templates, and culturally rich products to the global marketplace. We have consistently contributed to Etsy's ecosystem through quality, creativity, and dedication.

Armenia is home to many talented artisans, digital creators, and small business owners whose work aligns with Etsy’s core values. However, due to the current restriction, sellers from Armenia are unable to activate Etsy Payments — preventing them from growing their businesses and serving customers effectively.

Payoneer, Etsy’s official payments partner, operates fully in Armenia.
Despite this, Armenian sellers are still excluded from Etsy’s supported regions. This creates a major challenge for responsible, experienced creators who are ready to comply with all verification and legal requirements.

By enabling Etsy Payments in Armenia, Etsy will:
– Empower a proven market of trustworthy handmade and digital creators
– Support small businesses in a developing but thriving creative economy
– Gain loyal and long-term sellers who are eager to grow within the Etsy platform

We are ready to work with Etsy and Payoneer to make this happen.

Armenian creators are ready, capable, and committed.
All we ask is the opportunity to stand on equal ground.

Thank you for supporting independent artists and entrepreneurs around the world.
