Big Cartel Review - A Good Ecommerce Platform?

It's FAR better than Etsy now. Especially for digital downloads.
Problem is I have lifetime of over 3000 artworks to sell. 500 is like a feature page.

How is the print quality?

How are they with coppa laws and generating legal terms and services for your store?
Or is that built in to their back end.

Just checked out big cartel, they lost me with the HUGE BLM declaration. They are causing racism by their message.

Do you get email accounts with Big Cartel

I'm gonna try the free, 5 product one for now to see if I even make sales. If it goes well I'm gonna go up.

Hi Paul, loved your tutorial. You never talked about BCs fees? Just the subscriptions. I know you say that the shop setup is basic but look at EBAYS they are the big boys and their shop stores are crap considering who they are. Ebay stores have less functionallity than BC. I think at the end of the day product images sell products. A basic shop setup is all the average joe needs.
I loved your tutorial Paul, it was professional and well put together. I think i will give BC a go soon.....take care and good luck😀😆🐵

Thank you so much for that review! With creating handmade items, many times the profit margin is low, so any savings with free versions or less fees really helps out. 👍

New Subscriber. Thank you!

Great video! Thank you!

Do you have to get a permit to sell before you can start a big cartel website

What’s the difference between a platform like Etsy and big cartel or shopfiy?

Is it 5 products a month or in general? Thanks!

I was looking to launch a shop on Etsy within the month but thought more research on other platforms would be smart. This has peaked my interest for sure, thank you!

whoever gave this video a DISLIKE is a joke. you did so well providing information.

i feel like an idiot sandwich each time you raise both your hands around the camera

great review, thank you.

big cartel is ok ive been using for business for about a year however the only think I don't like is my customers cant just use debit or credit at the end at cart and check out, only PayPal or stripe and stripe takes such a huge percent. the plus is since I use PayPal as well, PayPal business account and card they gives me a shipping label right on my phone or laptop

Hey Paul, I appreciate your analysis. Thanks for sharing.

who gave this a dislike?!?!?!

Do you know if Big cartel takes any fees for example setting up & selling in the uk but on a US site? Conversion rates etc 👍

Hi thanks for the video, can you drop ship with Bigcartel, I am dropshipping wholesale products and I am in the UK Thanks

I honestly think is a great starter's platform to become independent from the marketplaces.

Thank you. Thorough review. It's appreciated.

Hi! Do you know if oberlo is available in big cartel? To synchronized aliexpress. Thank for the video!!

Are we able to link bigcartel to our YT channel?

when you type in my website big cartel comes up and I think it looks unprofessional can I change that?

Thanks im 16 and trying to make some money

I know this is an old video, but I’m wondering: what exactly does 5 products mean. I make wax, i current have 25 regular scent options but only 3 packaging options. 2 oz, 3 oz, 6 oz. Does that mean that I can do that free option and have a drop down for the various fragrances in each packaging size? I feel dumb, but need clarification. TIA.

Hi man, work this Shop in Europe?

Are you eating enough. Go into writing your life story or technical writer.

Hi ! Is bigcartel available in india ?

As a minimalist and a creator, this website is just fine and beats the hell out of Etsy at least.

Thanks for your insight.

Is there a commission fee?

So important question is. Is it trustworthy

Thank you.

Hi! Thank you so much for your review! ❤️Can you advise how to make your Big Cartel store successful? Are there any promotional offers that the bean itself offers (without the involvement of social media)

Hie.Can u plz help me with my bigcartel shop it is not allowing payments.

Nice review,my fear is the tax :) mainly if you sell to USA costumer or something theres no clear explanation on this platforms,on cartel theres a switch to enable the tax to be paid by the customer but its not very trustfull or doesnt let me relax:)

you got a nice face structure

Just wanted to comment and say thank you for making this video !

How does it work. As far as shipping. You upload a product and let’s say someone buys it. The money goes into your account. What then does the website then buy the product for you from Ali express or do you have to buy the product from the website and then ship it to the customers details?

Do you need to have an LLC to use big cartel and stripe?

But why does it add bigcartel to my domain name? I don't want that

Is there a way to add a facebook pixel to the free plan or does it need to be a paid one?

This was a great help.. I previously opened up a free account just until I was ready with my product range to then open a paid account.. but after watching this it makes sense that this would work well for me as a new business is just taking off, but I'm planning on this being my main business and I'm not convinced that BC will be able to grow with me as things go along. What alternative would you suggest to build my own website from that comes close to the affordability of BC? Thanks again for this video. I have subbed and 👍

Hey Mate, question 🙋🏼‍♂️

We sell jewellery (brick and mortar at weekend market stalls) with a square. We are moving online and want to grow that as much as possible. We want to keep track of inventory which is hard with the markets, big cartel let’s us know what’s sold online but we want an integrated inventory with online sales and market sales. We run markets at several locations.

What would you suggest ? Is there a way to connect physical square sales to big cartel sales? Spotify sound better for scaling or should we just use the square ecom web shop?

Any other options ? As we are just starting ecom and want to build right without having to change later down the track and create more hassles

How can you keep track of Invoices or send receipts if you set up PayPal or stripe payments ?

Can you have multiple shops on big cartel?
