What users say

I love the fact that small businesses like my mine are given the opportunity to have an online store free of cost.
The fact that it is free of charge for listing the first 5 products enabled us to assess the quality of the software without having to pay for any subscription.

Best Software for a Start-up Small Business Wishing to Start Online Selling

Reviewed 10 months ago

Big Cartel has helped us build our online shop for our business. Starting from just 5 items on the free version to having more than 250 items listed on our website. Customers never had any issues when placing orders and the software is also very well priced. Really recommended!

Pros

Big Cartel has been the best software that I found in order to start selling products online from our business. The fact that it is free of charge for listing the first 5 products enabled us to assess the quality of the software without having to pay for any subscription. After seeing that it was helping our business to grow, we eventually subscribed and we are very satisfied with the result. Great Value for Money!

Cons

The only issue that I face sometimes is that when I access Big Cartel on my phone and navigate from the Products Page to the Orders Page or vice versa, the software logs me out and I would need to sign in again. This only happens once in a while but other than that I am really satisfied with such software.

Big Cartel - easy and cheap

Reviewed 3 months ago

I never had to use the help desk as it was so easy to work. Really clear and self explanatory.

Pros

I used Big Cartel for years and found it cheap and easy to use for clients and for management. It integrates seamlessly with PayPal. I use it less now as I have another system in place that suits better as I need a booking system but for selling stuff I think it's a great system. It's also easy to stop /. start / upgrade as and when you need it

Cons

For what I used it for I didn't have any dislikes, however I don't use it very much any more as it really only worked for selling stuff (events or products) whereas I need a calendar based booking system.

Inexpensive but Needs More features

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

I liked the price and the fact that I could list my inventory without any issues.

Cons

They payment processors weren’t enough. You can only use things like credit cards or PayPal but not integrate Afterpay or Sezzle. So it was pretty limited.

Big Cartel- The Boss of Ecommerce

Reviewed 9 months ago

It has been really great so far. Thanks for your services, Big Cartel.

Pros

I love the fact that small businesses like my mine are given the opportunity to have an online store free of cost. And if we want, we can upgrade to the $9.99 plan with 50 products -which is super afforable for an ecommerce store. I have always wanted an online store, and Big Cartel made it possible. Thanks a million! Kudos.

Cons

Well, I have not found anything that I don't like. Not yet. And I hope I don't. Big Cartel has been really simple and easy for me as I am doing this all on my own.

Was Okay

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall experience was pretty good but I'd only recommend it to someone who needed a limited amount of features.

Pros

When I first started out as an artist Big Cartel was cheaper & more simple that other options. It was great until it became limiting.

Cons

As I progressed in my art career I needed more functionality than what Big Cartel could offer. Eventually I decided it was worth paying a little more for a more diverse platform.
