Question

How do I change my shop name on Etsy? There should be a space between words, and it won't let me.

Community Answer

Etsy does not allow spaces between words in the shop name. To change your name, from your dashboard page over in the left hand column click on "Settings". Click on "info and appearance". One of the first options on that page is to change your shop name.

Warnings

Your name on Etsy can only be changed a limited number of times.
