Square and Etsy

[sarah_2121]

Hi, I have just gotten my square card reader and wish to use it in an upcoming market. 

Can someone review my costings and see if this is correct

Etsy listing fees are 27c AUD (I have a range of items for sale on my Etsy page)

Then when I normally sell an item onlineon Etsy... it is 5% transaction fee to Etsy then a 3% plus 25c AUD fee for Etsy payments (4% if international).  Then is there a 5% fee of the total postage cost? I am super confused. Is this correct?

Then add in square.. I would sync my etsy listings and then can you tell me what parts of Etsy fees I have to pay? Does the 2.75% transaction fee from Square mean that I only pay the listing (or re-listing) fee, 5% transation fee and NOT the 3% etsy payments fee or the 5% of the postage cost/delivery transaction fee? 

Can someone help me out? I would appreciate it a lot 🙂

Hey @sarah_2121,

Thanks for reaching out! I'm afraid I have no experience using Etsy or knowledge of how their system works, however hopefully someone else in the community may have used it before with Square!

If you're selling things at a market using our card reader and app though, this shouldn't involve Etsy at all - you'd just need an activated Square account, our POS app installed on your mobile device and a card reader connected to the app. Our fees are 1.9% for transactions taken with the card reader or 2.2% when manually keyed into the app (eg remote payments).
