Karen Check Alternative: Etsy Buyer Check

What is Karen Check?

If you’ve been selling on Etsy for a while, you may already be familiar with Karen Check, a tool that gained popularity on social media for both its edgy name and useful functionality.

It allowed sellers to look up a customer’s review history and see whether they frequently left negative feedback.

Karen Check had to shut down because Etsy discontinued the API endpoint that gave the tool access to customer reviews.

What is the best alternative to Karen Check?

Currently, the best alternative to Karen Check is Buyer Check, and here’s why:

• Buyer Check offers the same capabilities as Karen Check without relying on Etsy’s now-discontinued API.
• It hosts the largest collection of seller-generated reviews, allowing shop owners to warn others about problematic customers.
• No other platform gives sellers access to Etsy review history while also letting them review their customers.
