No, you currently can’t open an Etsy shop if you live in Iceland.
Etsy requires new sellers to use Etsy Payments, and Iceland isn’t included in the countries where Etsy Payments is available.
Why Can’t You Open an Etsy Shop in Iceland?
New Etsy shops can usually only be opened in countries that support Etsy payments. This is Etsy’s system for processing customer payments and paying sellers.
Because Iceland isn’t currently an eligible country, Icelandic residents can’t register a new Etsy shop and start selling through the marketplace.
Etsy may add support for more countries in the future, so this may change.
Can You Buy From Etsy in Iceland?
Yes, Etsy is available to buyers in Iceland, although it’s up to individual sellers where they are willing to ship.
This means that Icelandic shoppers can buy products from Etsy sellers that offer delivery to Iceland, even though Iceland-based makers can’t open a seller account.
Can You Open an Etsy Shop Using Another Country?
No, you can’t select another country when setting up an account to try to bypass Etsy’s marketplace limitations.
Etsy requires sellers to provide information like their country, address, payment details, and bank account information when they set up a shop.
