FAQ about Big Cartel
Big Cartel is a popular eCommerce platform for independent artists, creators, and small businesses. It offers a free plan, affordable paid subscriptions, mobile-friendly templates, SEO tools, discount features, and analytics to market your store and grow sales.
You can sell almost any type of custom products that fit your brand – from art prints, t-shirts, and mugs to jewelry, tumblers, and other accessories.
With Printify, you have the freedom to turn your creativity into ready-to-purchase items and expand your merch line without upfront costs.
Yes, you can connect your Big Cartel store to dropshipping services, though integrations are only available on paid plans.
Dropshipping means selling generic products from suppliers. While this business model is easy to start, it can be harder to stand out or build a unique brand.
That’s why many creators prefer a print-on-demand service like Printify. You can design custom products for free and list them on your Big Cartel store. Every time a customer buys, we’ll fulfill and ship their orders for you.
Yes! The Big Cartel-Printify integration lets you set up and sell print-on-demand products directly from your store. This way, you can:
- Create custom products with your own designs and branding.
- Experiment with new ideas without upfront costs.
- Expand your storefront by adding fresh items anytime.
Whenever a customer orders, Printify automatically fulfills and ships your products. The best part? There are no upfront costs or inventory to buy, so you keep more of your profits.
The main limitation of Big Cartel is its simplicity. It works best for small online stores but lacks more advanced tools compared to other eCommerce platforms.
For example, Big Cartel has:
- A small app marketplace with limited third-party integrations.
- Analytics that track only basic metrics like total sales, orders, and best-selling products.
- Limited support for multiple currencies.

Etsy is a large online marketplace where millions of customers shop for one-of-a-kind products like vintage art pieces and custom jewelry. It has built-in traffic, but you’re competing with many other sellers and paying higher fees.
On the other hand, Big Cartel gives you your own online store where you can create a customizable storefront. However, you need to do your own marketing to bring in more customers.
Despite their differences, many artists use both Etsy for quick exposure and Big Cartel to build a long-term business. You can even import products from Etsy into your Big Cartel store, making it easy to manage both.
