Overview
Big Cartel is a hosted store builder aimed at creators, artists and small makers who sell a limited range of products; its own site describes the service as simple online stores for creators. It suits sellers who need a shop rather than a full website platform, and plans can be cancelled at any time[13]. Its pricing is deliberately simple: the Platinum plan starts with a seven-day free trial and then costs US$15 a month, and the Diamond plan costs US$30 a month, with no long-term commitment[13].
Platinum supports custom domains, physical and digital products, and print-on-demand through easy-install apps, while Diamond adds tools for shops ready to scale[13]. The product avoids much of the complexity of larger platforms, which keeps set-up and administration short.
Big Cartel is privately held and publishes no audited financial data. Its limitations follow from its focus: fewer integrations, limited marketing automation and less suitability for large catalogues than Shopify or WooCommerce.
