Can You Stack Multiple Coupon Codes?
Understanding Etsy's coupon limitations
No. Etsy only allows one coupon code per shop per order. If a shop has multiple active codes, you must choose which one to apply.
However, you can:
- ✅ Use different codes for different shops in the same cart
- ✅ Combine a coupon code with free shipping (if the seller allows)
- ✅ Some automatic discounts (like first-purchase offers) may stack with coupons
Tips for Maximizing Savings
Get the most out of your Etsy purchases
Combine with Sales
If a shop runs a sale AND you have a coupon, the coupon may apply on top of sale prices
Buy Multiple Items
Many sellers offer bundle discounts or reduced shipping on additional items
Negotiate Large Orders
Message sellers for bulk purchases — they may create custom-priced listings
Check Free Shipping
Many sellers offer free shipping over $35, which might save more than a small coupon
Favorite & Wait
After favoriting items, sellers can send you targeted offers — be patient
