Big Cartel Reviews
Pros
I have one shop on Big Cartel, I made it super easy and super fast.
I love the fact that small businesses like my mine are given the opportunity to have an online store free of cost.
It has been really great so far. Thanks for your services, Big Cartel.
Cons
Limited integration and not easy to link with insta.
I find that there are no negative aspects to say about Big Cartel.
The software is very limited in multiple areas and other softwares that are equivalently priced and provide more features exist readily.
"Excellent"
Pros: Big Cartel is a user-friendly platform for everyone.
Cons: I find that there are no negative aspects to say about Big Cartel.
"A good option but check out alternatives before setting up"
Overall: I still use Big Cartel now as all our products are on it although we have reverted to the limited product free option
Pros: Ease of use and simple to manage products
Cons: Limited integration and not easy to link with insta
"Good site to use when you have frequent sales"
Overall: Big Cartel was used to see how it compared to it's rivalry ecommerce sites, however the free membership is great if you don't really have any products or any variations of the products, then a monthly payment can allow you a slight bit of freedom with more products, and some variation photos but at this point unless you're getting good enough results with marketing to get the sales, the monthly cost can put you into a negative balance until you start selling more (which is the idea). The quality of the products seem good, and customer service is responsive and helpful.
Pros: Range of products as well as the quality.
Cons: Not the best site to use for starting out initially unless you have a small amount of funds to initially waste.
"Current Big Cartel user Xhl Botanics on facebook"
Overall: I would use again and I'm still using now. Way better than wix and simpler than sites like Etsy to set up but has the same quality in my opinion
Pros: This was the best software I ever used. I love it. It's simple. The in person sell is phenomenal
Cons: I can't find an issue off the top of my head. The good outweighs the bad.
"Big Cartel - easy and cheap"
Overall: 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.
