## Big Cartel Reviews
  ### 1. Easy Product Uploads, but the Free Plan Feels Too Limited

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gwheyohn G. | Digital Producer, Non-Profit Organization Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2026

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

i like the backend dashboard and how easy it is to upload products.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

i dislike the free account. They could add a few more features. Example they only give you 5 free products. Ecwid gives you 10.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is a secondary online shop for me when i want to sell seasonal products.

  ### 2. The best sales platform for artists

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dre C. | Curriculum Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2022

**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.

**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.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There are so many online sale platforms that take a percentage of your profits, and that has always felt like a point of contempt for me. BigCartel has always felt like an artist-first model and leaves more room for you to get your job done without thinking about the loss of profit or including those fees into your prices.

  ### 3. Start your business with Big Cartel

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2022

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

Big Cartel is an excellent platform for getting your business off the ground. The setup process is extremely simple.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

Big Cartel lacks some of the features that other platforms offer. I would consider it a beginner's platform compared to other competitors.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Big Cartel allows you to create an Ecomm store with ease. If you are looking to get a storefront created and running in the same day, Big Cartel is for you.

  ### 4. Excellent for small businesses!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Auriia P. | Founder &amp; Creative Director , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2022

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.

**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.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

I would say use this before going to shopify! I honestly learned alot this platform is very simple and straight to the point!

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to run an online business and sell products. I benefit by having full control of the operations in regards to my business and online sales. I benefit by being able to use the app as well.

  ### 5. Big Cartel

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kimba Maria  W. | Founder and Senior Editor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2021

**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.

**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.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Big Cartel helped me with listing issues that I was having with Etsy and eBay. I benefitted financially because I wasn't paying tons of fees or dealing with haters who would flag my listings for no reason.

  ### 6. Easy to use, better than etsy, limited capabilities

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Arts and Crafts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2021

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

I like that Big Cartel pays out tax and charges a flat monthly fee rather than per item

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I don't like that it costs a lot more to store more items, you can't use afterpay on big cartel, and the customization is limited

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No seller fees like through etsy has been great, and not having to remit my own sales tax while being in a state that requires sales tax collection has been a huge benefit

  ### 7. Big Cartel the tool you need to start your business

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David G. | Engineer., Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2019

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

I like it because it is easy to design, you can easily upload images, include prices, descriptions, etc.
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.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

Nothing bad to add, is what I need to start with few products.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

I recommend you try the free version allows you to try the platform, you can upload up to 5 products and see if it meets your needs, it is a good solution for small companies.
An effective tool for artists and creators of small brands, try it, you will like it.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can manage the store, complete orders, update products, check statistics and run promotions from any device, from home or while traveling.

  ### 8. Simple, Solid E-cart Option

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Justin P. | Senior Graphic Designer, Insurance, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2019

**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.

**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.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

I think if Big Cartel offered a bit more customization, as well as more options to integrate the sort of services a seller would use (social media, Endicia, etc) it would be a big player. As it stands it's still a pretty good value as long as you keep selling - try the free "5 products or less" setup to see if it works for you.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I used a Zencart style solution which was a challenge with coding, and shipping calculations were rudimentary. Big Cartel made my offering look better, and allowed me to set shipping thresholds that matched the products I was selling (media mail options for books, etc).

  ### 9. Missing helpful tools

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Cosmetics | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2019

**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.

**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.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hardly any severe issues with the site running/maintaining technically. No periods of the site being down/unavailable to consumers.

  ### 10. User friendly, clean online store great for nonprofits 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2019

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

It’s so easy to set up your Big Cartel online store. The templates are user friendly, and their email notifications are awesome with helping keep track of online orders. 

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

You are limited to a number of items you can sell if you use their free version of their online store. 

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

Highly recommend if you have just a few products you are selling online. They are free and very user friendly!

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to have a functioning, easy to use online store linked to our website. 

  ### 11. It's a great site for selling products 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jasmine S. | CEO , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2018

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

I like the fact that you can get your website up and running for free.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I dislike the fact that you can't really access some of the simple features without paying (which is pretty high)

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

Try it. It doesn't cost a thing so there's nothing to lose 

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's just so hassle free . I don't have to go door to door. I can sell nationwide from home 

  ### 12. Easy online stores

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adriane M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2018

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

The program easily allows you to make a beautiful functional online store, customize its appearance, colors, font as you want. Completely individual appearance, directly customizing HTML and CSS. You have the ability to manage your store on the road with a mobile version. The control over orders is quite simple, you can quickly confirm the order, thereby your customers will be satisfied.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

If you need a simple online store, then Big Cartel is right for you, but if you want to create a large, multifunctional online store, then this program does not have enough features for this.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

Big Cartel provides the minimum number of functions that will help you create your own online store and work qualitatively and quickly. For small companies and startups, this is an excellent option.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With the help of Big Cartel I created a quality online store for my products. I can easily and quickly serve customers, without forcing them to wait a long time. Mobile version is always helped me to working on the go. Also, it allows you to easily edit or add new products. I used different services, but Big Cartel has everything I need at a pleasant price.

  ### 13. My startup with Big Cartel

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tyson A. | Technical Support Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2018

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

If you are selling on the Internet and do not have your own website, then this software, then what you need to start up. A customer who has bought one of your products, you can suggest to pick up something else. To do this, it is enough to reset the link to your account with the goods and it will be convenient to look at the entire list and choose your product. This is very convenient because the link to the store can be provided both in social networks and by mail. It's like that you can provide customers with all of your assortment at any minute because your store is also on your smartphone.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

For half a year I did not find any drawbacks.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

Do you have a startup? Do you collect something to sell? The best solution is to start working with the big cartel.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Big Cartel helped us to create our own online store without much time and expense. That's cool. It's very easy to place the goods, edit it and it's beautiful in combination with the site's interface.

  ### 14. Create as much as you can.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Demarcus S. | Multimedia Designer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2018

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

It is wonderful and simple tools and service to create a unusual online shop, control and sell. Much easy customize the pictures, colors, type, and options of one of the lovely pre-made themes. Big helper.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

Definitely, I will tell that I don't see any bad steps during work with this software. I'm glad that I found what I was searching.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

With this software, you will have the ability to get your store with you. With a great access from any device will help you to control all your working process. I recommend you this platform, as I guess it is the best one for sales.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We give the right mix of real-time, search optimization, order control, and advertising tools to have a small store up and running with no stress.

  ### 15. More open way to create.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marietta C. | Human Resources Manager, Staffing and Recruiting, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2017

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

My work is better now. I'm glad that I start to use that software. Just in one step, I can create an amazing online shop. Very helpful tools which I can use simple.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I don't have any bad cons. Very good product to use. Everything works well. Has tools which will help you with every day.  To create will be better and fun.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

Greatest tools which you can use it. Will helps with your interface. Great work on pictures. Great combination of colors. So your themes will be the most creative.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I like that I can do a good side of my shop. I work with great tools and I can easily manage and decide what is better for my store. Helps my page works better.

  ### 16. Love it.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Fine Art | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 08, 2018

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

It's clean and very easy to use. I can navigate quickly and effortlessly. 

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I cannot link it with my social networks as easily as I could with Shopify, for example. And there are some things I can't customize without playing with html. But on tumblr I could. 

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can change templates. whereas on Etsy I can't. 

  ### 17. Works Well But Has Limitations

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jen M. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2017

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

I like that it's easy to get started and fairly straightforward to add products. It's also not very expensive. 

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I found the website templates to be clunky and hard to navigate relative to other systems and programs. Not as easy to adapt/make changes as I've seen in other programs. It's not fully integrated with Printful, which is unfortunate because, like Big Cartel, it appeals to small organizations and artists - it requires more hands-on management.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

I think if you have a small project or organization (like mine) it can offer a great service. My main frustration is with the web templates. I think with the increase in competition (e.g., Store Envy and other similar products, Big Cartel is starting to improve and tailoring it's product to artists.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I run a small nonprofit on the side and it's been easy to sell t-shirts. 

  ### 18. Great platform for beginners who want a professional looking shop!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ashley H. | Staff Scientist, Environmental Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2018

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

I loved how simple it was to learn, use and create in a short amount of time. 

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I honestly did not dislike anything, it had everything I needed.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hosting an online store for my products at an affordable price. The benefits are that it's simple, easy to use, affordable and professional. 

  ### 19. A good market placet

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lakhan M. | Head Of Department, Banking, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2017

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

Sell on different social media websites like Facebook and no processing fees on orders

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I think BigCartel doesn't have a huge audience in terms of selling and buying. Other similar online store software have the same features almost but my store at BigCartel doesn't have a lot of sales. I even think that BigCartel is a bit more expensive than other similar software and the return isn't that much due to a limited customers available

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

I would recommend others bot to buy this software. You can keep using this software as long as its free. As the sales don't over up your expenses, BigCartel becomes costly. I would recommend other online market software for selling your products

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use other software as well for selling my products online and even though BigCartel hasn't had a major impact on my earnings, I wouldn't completely deny that it is because of BigCartel that I have a few loyal customers who recommend my products to others as well.

  ### 20. Big cartel good for non tech people

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2017

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

Easy to use and professional looking. It's not a cheesy looking site for the cost (most sites with templates looked cheesy to me when I was looking around). I also hate dealing w websites and this one is relatively easy to use and set up. 

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

Not easy to use pictures on a. On gallery page (like in the about section). I've had a hard time with the pages that don't show product (making sure the formatting is correct). To be fair, I haven't messed with it in a long time so maybe now it's easier? 

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy to use

  ### 21. Suitable Option For Online Store

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Music | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017

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

BigCartel is a fine option for people looking for a way to sell things online without giving a platform a percentage of sales. For a monthly fee, you can sell as much as you want and not have any additional overhead.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

It's not quite as customizable as I'd like. But if you don't have the time or cash to spend on building your own website, BigCartel will do the job.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

Squarespace Commerce also works, but Big Cartel is actually slightly better. The downside, however, is it doesn't reside directly in your website.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When we have extra stock to sell and don't want to have to give merch companies a cut of all sales, Big Cartel helps us achieve that.

  ### 22. Free version is a great starter, paid version is worth it

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rebecca L. | Photographer, Photography, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2017

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

I like that the website is super easy to set up and you don't need to have a bunch of experience making websites to be able to figure this out. It's obvious what to do.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I don't like that the free version doesn't let you put a limit on the amount of products that people can buy. This can be dangerous if you aren't aware of that.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

If you want to use this for the same purposes that I did, which is selling your photography mini sessions, you will need to purchase a plan for $10 a month. The reason for this is that withthe free version, you can't set a limit on how many of each product people can buy. So if you add photo session times as a dropdown, you could get double booked! So make sure to purchase a plan so this doesn't happen to you! Luckily I noticed this before it became a problem for me. I just pay for the month of my mini sessions, then cancel. So I usually only use this twice a year. It's totally worth it.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use big cartel to sell mini sessions for my photography business. It's very easy to send my clients to my shop and let them checkout there. They can choose their date and time from the dropdown boxes that I made and checkout right then. I then get an email that tells me what option they purchased, and their email address as well, so I can contact them with more details.

  ### 23. Great for selling online

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Capital Markets | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2016

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

Easy to use platform with a free account which allows you to sell 5 products.  For the price it can't be beat. 

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

Not much, except not all shipping platforms will connect directly with the platform.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

You can check out a free account before actually purchasing which gives you a nice test drive. 

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy to set up store with free account up to 5 items and only 9.99 up to 25 items.  For the price and easy to use features it can't be beat.

  ### 24. User friendly for both merchant and customer

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2016

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

The platform has an clear interface for both the merchant and the customer. It is clear where all the functions and data are on the site. Big Cartel also makes it easy to manage the products on your site and keep inventory. Merchants can also use Stripe or PayPal for the checkout. 

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

The platform does not allow for extended customization, which is limiting especially if you would like to integrate your webstore into an existing website.


Also, if many customers have placed orders on your webstore, it can be difficult to keep track of them on the page with the orders. The orders are in a long list sorted from latest to earliest. In order to see specifics of each order, you have to click into the name of the customer.  While you can search for orders by name, order number, or email, there is no function to sort the list or see orders by certain dates. 

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I needed an eCommerce platform to sell merchandise and only had a handful of products. I wanted an relatively inexpensive, but easy to use interface that allowed for some customization and inventory management. BigCartel had the amount of customization that I needed and had a great inventory management system. Its free tier also has many great features. 

  ### 25. Easy way to sell

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jackie S. | Owner/Photographer, Photography, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2016

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

Ease of use. I've tried setting up stores at many other sites and this was by far the easiest. You don't need to know coding, or add a lot of extensive information about the products. . You add the product information such as price, a picture and it's ready to go to the store. Nothing else is needed!
I also love that you can link your Paypal information so that payment is not an issue.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

You can only add one photo with the free version. If you want to add more, you have to upgrade. It's not that expensive if you're selling items regularly. Also, you aren't able to sell digital items. It would be more helpful for my business to be able to send a download link automatically after purchase.

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

I've tried setting up several online shops and could not figure out how to make them work. Big Cartel is so easy to use. No coding, or crazy stuff. You add the product information such as price, a picture and it's ready to go to the store. Nothing else is needed!

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's an easy way of selling items online. The client information is all right there, from address, to detailed orders. You can link your paypal to it and get paid, then ship from the preloaded label. I would, hands down, recommend this service to anyone.

  ### 26. Big Cartel Put Me On The Map

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Music | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2016

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

I love the way Big Cartel looks.  It's very modern looking and I also love the ability to sell on Facebook.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

I wish the Gold plan offered at least 10 products instead of 5.

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I just needed an easy way to sell my art.  It's a hobby that has grown into a small business, so right now Big Cartel does everything I need.  Again, love the ability to sell on Facebook where alot of my customers are already following me.

  ### 27. I needed a simple shop to sell my paintings and found bigcartel

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Riccardo I. | Graphic designer, Graphic Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2016

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

Obviously I like the free plan, letting me to sell my paintings for free! It's a slim, fast and efficent ecommerce website for artists, it's simple, clean design and very easy to use, to add products and customize the interface.

**What do you dislike about Big Cartel?**

italian language support, external font support

**Recommendations to others considering Big Cartel:**

They improved a lot the tools you need to customize your shopping cart exactly how you need it. Now it's responsive too!

**What problems is Big Cartel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I subscribed the free plan to sell my paintings, i didn't pay a cent for it, it's limited to 5 products obviously, but using it i think i will upgrade my plan very soon.
