Algeria may be the largest country in Africa by area, covering a staggering 2.38 million square kilometres, but it’s not just the size of the country that’s impressive, its artisans are equally expansive in creativity.

Algeria is home to some of the most creative people on the continent, many of whom have now started selling on Etsy, the global marketplace for creative entrepreneurs. However, navigating payments on Etsy can be challenging, as Algeria isn't directly supported for payouts.

In this guide, we'll walk you through how to use Grey to seamlessly receive Etsy payments and manage your earnings with ease.

• Global reach: You can reach millions of buyers worldwide who value handmade and vintage products.
