"The best sales platform for artists"
What do you like best about Big Cartel?

It is incredibly easy to use and gives creative freedom. Edits to your shop can be done quickly and easily. It also has great built-in tools to help you stay organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Big Cartel?

It does have some limitations, but I still prefer it over more customizable website sales platforms. If you can't find a standard template that you enjoy using, you might want to go with another service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Big Cartel is an excellent platform for getting your business off the ground. The setup process is extremely simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent for small businesses!"
What do you like best about Big Cartel?

I loved how seamless the app and website was! I was able to successfully launch my cosmetic line using Big Cartel 9.99 per month services! The quality is outstanding compared to the competitors and extremely easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Big Cartel?

I didn't like the sale promotion sections. I wanted to do a specific sale but there was a lot of limitations. I hope that there will be more freedom in the future in regards to this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Big Cartel"
What do you like best about Big Cartel?

I like the fact Big Cartel is simple and easy to navigate. Unlike eBay the monthly fees are very reasonable and fair. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Big Cartel?

Nothing I dislike. For me it was perfect when I branched out from eBay. I found that eBay was very restrictive in terms of fees and Big Cartel doesn't have that issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Big Cartel the tool you need to start your business"

You can choose one of the monthly plans, the one that best suits your needs, depending on the quantity of products you want to publish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Big Cartel?

Nothing bad to add, is what I need to start with few products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Solid E-cart Option"
What do you like best about Big Cartel?

If you're just looking for a fast way to set up a professional e-store without the hassle of coding, BigCartel is a great option. It's cheaper than alternatives like Shopify, gives you various ways to set up a store with a few clicks, and offers flexible ways to offer different options of the same item (ie. clothing sizes) and gives a few different ways to charge shipping (ship by item, ship by weight, etc). They let you do sales, coupon codes, and even offer vacation mode when you're away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Big Cartel?

The one-click e-store designs are a double-edge sword, as their pre-fab options sometimes don't give you the flexibility you need to customize the site the way you want. And Big Cartel doesn't offer much in the way of integrations, so you spend time copy-pasting things into your shipping service, your social media pages, etc. Competitors give you the option of automatically integrating these services right to the e-store.

"Missing helpful tools"
What do you like best about Big Cartel?

BigCartel is inexpensive. The pricing plans are excellent and affordable. There is an ease of use and the dashboard/tools are intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Big Cartel?

Tools that can help the business with inventory tracking and sales. Inventory tracking can only be turned on for the entire store as opposed to setting it for specific items. No customizable option for local pickup/delivery. Customer has to choose a shipping option and then be refunded later if local pickup/delivery is a free service the business provides.
