Etsy: Shop & Gift with Style 6.69.0

With the presence of a number of niche marketplace apps now, you don't need to be limited to a certain brand or a certain marketplace platform to get what you want. Etsy is one such marketplace app that offers handmade and vintage goods from different brands. Let's take a look at the app's interface to see if having the app on your phone would be of any use or not.

The thing with marketplace apps is that they need to be excellent at providing quick access to the products people want. Personalized experiences of great importance with simple navigational and filter tools also necessary in order to ensure that people can find what they are looking for in the shortest time possible and in order to ensure that they don't change their minds once they are set on buying a product. Etsy: Handmade & Vintage Goods tries to offer a similar experience by asking you to sign up (or sign in if you already have an account). The app proceeds to offer personalized recommendations on the homepage once you sign in depending on your account activity and the items that you have seen or bought earlier.

If you are starting off, the homepage is blank but you can search for the item you are looking for through the search bar. You can also browse by categories through this option and navigate the 15 pre-set categories. These are just the main categories and you can then access the sub-categories in order to move to the actual list of products. For instance, if you tap on the Clothing main category, you can then further classify your search to Women's Clothing, Men's Clothing, Girls' Clothing, Boys' Clothing and Unisex Kids' Clothing. These categorizations are wonderful as they help you in filtering out the products based on your requirements.
The listings themselves on the marketplace app are nicely designed. In any given result, you would see that the top two results are ads or are promoted by their vendors. Afterwards, organically search relevant listings are shown. Each listing shows you the picture of the product, the name of the product, the rating provided by the customers, the number of customers who have actually rated the product and its price. You can favorite any listing by tapping on the "Heart" button while you can also add it to your list, refine your search to similar items through "see similar items", visit the virtual shop of the product on the marketplace app or share the product through any of your messaging or social media apps.

When you tap on any listing, you would be provided a lot more details. You can take a look at a number of pictures and other details (for instance, sizing charts for clothes). You can also see if the item is in stock or not and what other customers have said about the product. You can also take a look at the product specifics provided by the vendor, the marketplace app's delivery and other policies and common questions about ordering in general.
Once you add the product to your basket, you can move to check out and then use any of the secure options i.e. Visa, PayPal, MasterCard etc. to make the payment. Details about shipping time and clearance times are provided with tracking provided by the platform via the vendor to ensure that you know exactly when the product would reach you.
