Has anyone set up their shop/catalog?

[PartynwPlants]

Hello, I have been researching and reading about setting up my shop and catalog and seems like it's for large/big businesses only? (I average 75 orders a month on Etsy/personal website)

Has any small businesses successfully complete all the steps and is it beneficial thus far? Thanks!

I haven't yet..but I kind of want to check it out.  I do promoted pins, so I'm very interested to see if it's something small businesses like us would benefit from?

Thanks for commenting! I did more research and it looks more intense than I thought. Good luck to you and your business!

Hello! I haven't yet but I would love to try it. I watched some videos about how to create catalogs but it seemed a bit complicated. So would love to hear some tips if anyone did it successfully.

Thanks for starting this thread, Nicole!! This seems like a good content idea that @PinterestJanice and I can consider here. Maybe a how-to guide or a video? 😉

Thanks Gabby! A how to guide or video would be a great resource! Appreciate you commenting & considering the idea. Thanks 🙂

I also looked into it and thought it was too complicated. It may actually be easier than it appears, but at this point, I took a pass. As you said it would be great to hear from someone that has done it

We have successfully added our catalog and highly recommend going through the steps outlined. We use Shopify in case it matters. It was super buggy when we launched the catalog so have not created many categories but this reminds me to go back to check that out again. 

Now if we can figure out why we keep getting denied for verified merchant!

Thanks for flagging that, @ideachicretail -- we'll reach out to you to get more info on what's going happening in the approval process.
