Setting up a shop on Big Cartel is incredibly easy. By far, the easiest platform I have used. The free plan is a great way to start where you can choose a different one whenever you are ready.

The overall site cost to compared to that of the competitors are is relatively low. It was easy to set up my site as the set up process is step by step. You can even create a business email for less than 5 bucks a month. I would recommend Big Cartel to anyone!

The shop is very useful. It has many editing options and I'm liking the free version!

I'm an artist just getting started selling. I tried Square first and found it almost completely dysfunctional; constant lags and breakdown, unnecessarily complicated systems, page designs that weren't really designed with artists in mind, horrible customer service. Almost everything with BigCartel so far has been seamless. I'm super impressed and grateful!

I knew nothing about selling merchandise and over the years Big Cartel has walked me through it and I learn something everyday.

I had tried to build an online store using several other platforms prior to finding Big Cartel. Big Cartel has been by far the easiest to setup and manage. It's so easy, a caveman could do it!
