starting a small business with little to no funds? I recommend! I think all of these 1 star reviews are reviewing actual websites rather than the Big Cartel company itself. I’ve been using Big Cartel for the past 8 months, as I just started my small business. It’s great for small businesses like me that can’t quite afford the £30 for Shopify. It’s a lot more simplistic and minimal, but that’s kinda good for newbies and smaller businesses as you can get really caught up in over customising your website. I currently use the platinum plan for £9.99, and I can list up to 50 products, with no listing fees. The credit card processor Stripe and Big Cartel both take a percentage but it’s much smaller than fees you’d find on Etsy etc. I can’t complain, just wish there were more apps to customise your website however as time has gone they’ve developed more!

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!! DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!! I brought something in August and never received my order and on October 28th they finally emailed me saying I would get a refund in 10-14 business days yet it’s November 21 and still not clothes no refund and I’ve been contacting them nonstop and no response. This is a scam and I lost 75$ for nothing.

Weird company ran by a far left Marxist! This company is straight up odd! It charges over the top prices for a basic service with limited functionality! You can only add 500 products in their max plan which used to only allow 300, their apps are basic and the fact they say they are for small businesses is a joke seeing as they charge so much! Also upon research I have discovered the ceo is a far left Marxist who believes police should be defunded and only black lives matter!

Reviewing the Actual Platform A lot of these reviews seem to be from people that ordered from scam sites hosted through Big Cartel, which can happen through any host realistically and should not fall under the actual company's page in my opinion, but, I do have a review for the service itself! I've tried lots of different platforms and always return to Big Cartel for the simple interface, the automatic collection and remitting of sales tax, and their support has been great so far. Themes are simple and easy to customize, especially with CSS and HTML. The only changes I'd like to see would be more payment options (which they are working on) and more app integrations. Other than that, it's a wonderful, inexpensive place to start with an eCommerce business and I can't recommend it enough. :)

Look everyone To make a website/online… Look everyone To make a website/online store big cartel is simply at its finest and yes it’s small but it’s great to start out. the REVIEWS are based on the SELLERS themselves not the website!
