Etsy Checkout & PayPal

Etsy Checkout & PayPal Tutorial.

The only form of payment I currently accept is PayPal.  Why you may ask?  What if you don't have a PayPal account?  How does it work?  Customers often have questions about the Etsy checkout process, so I have created this PayPal tutorial to make it easier:)  If you have questions, please feel free to ask, and I'll be glad to assist you.

Why PayPal?

-Even if you don't have a PayPal account, you may easily check out as long as you have a credit or debit card.

-PayPal is safe and secure- I never see your account numbers, as PayPal facilitates all transactions.

-I can easily create shipping labels through PayPal, without entering your address information again- saving me time and money, which allows me to keep prices lower.

Upon checkout, you will see the following.  Below your items, there will be a "Note to WearableWhispers" area.  Please list any applicable info in this space- such as names to be stamped, fonts (if different), necklace lengths, etc..

As you will see it list PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover under "How You'll Pay".  You may pay with any of these and other credit/debit cards within PayPal.

Click the large green "Check out with PayPal" button. (Click on the image to enlarge)

After that, Etsy will redirect you to the PayPal website in order to finish checking out.

The PayPal website will look as follows- You will have the option of signing into your PayPal account if you have one, or signing in as a guest.

**If you don't have a PayPal account, click on the blue "Don't have a PayPal account?" link (under the normal sign in area) 

This will take you to the following screen, where you can pay with any credit or debit card *without creating a PayPal account.

Just enter your information and click on the yellow/orange "Review and Continue" button at the bottom.  It will take you to a page where you can review your information.  Once you're done, click the yellow submit button, and it will take you back to Etsy to complete your order.

Once back at Etsy, you will have to click the final, green submit button for your order to be complete:

It's that easy:)  Need to print an invoice or make sure your order went through?  Log in to Etsy, go to the top right "Your Account" button, click on "Purchases" and your order should come up.  

Orders ship out within one week, and I send a confirmation email as soon as they ship.  U.S. customers who have a PayPal account (not guest) may then track their order by logging into PayPal and clicking the "details" button beside their order payment.

Thanks for your interest!  If you have any questions, just let me know:)

Charm Sizes

It can be difficult to compare the different charm sizes, so I have created this page to help you better see each charms actual size.

Charms from left to right are: 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", and 1".

1/2"= smaller than a dime

5/8"= almost the size of a dime

3/4"= almost the size of a penny and nickel- in between

7/8"= slightly smaller than a quarter

1"= slightly larger than a quarter

Gold Bracelets

I offer two types of gold bracelets- a thicker/larger link, and a small link type. All bracelets come with lobster clasps. The thicker bracelet is $24. The thinner/smaller link bracelet is $14.

Necklace Feature

Charms shown are 1/2" sterling silver- on ball chains.

Charm Size Comparison Chart

I stock all of the charms on the chart in sterling silver and have many of the circles available in gold as well. Please use this chart to help you determine what size charm you are interested in. I have made the sizes and shapes as accurate as possible so you can easily compare your choices.

Believe and Follow Your Dreams in 2012

Thanks for all your business this past year and allowing me to live out my dream! I love waking up everyday and being able to share in the lives of others-through helping you show your love for your child or family through a name necklace, remember a loved one through a memory charm, cherish a special memory with a date charm, etc. I am grateful to be a part of it all!

Happy New Year!

I had a great Christmas and hope you all did as well! I am so grateful to have such good friends and family to spend time with:)

I have been making lots of new quote jewelry and as 2012 comes closer, and I can't help but share some of my favorites. I just finished reading "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin and it is filled with quotes and reminders such as the following:

• "The days are long, but the years are short"
• “There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.” Robert Louis Stevenson
• “What a wonderful life I’ve had! I only wish I’d realized it sooner.” Colette
• “It is easy to be heavy: hard to be light.” G. K. Chesterton

"Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love, it will not lead you astray." -Rumi
