You asked, we listened! Now you can restrict your discount codes to one use per customer (based on email address). We’ve also included a detector for people trying to use the “+” trick to reduce abuse.
This will come in super handy for creating new subscriber discounts or flash sales and works for all coupon types!

Introducing Tap-to-Pay & improvements to in-person checkout
Introducing Tap to Pay for Big Cartel’s iPhone and Android apps! Sellers on paid plans can use our mobile apps to accept payments more easily without relying solely on cash or needing an external card reader.
We’ve also made improvements to the in-person checkout experience that makes it easier to:
see which products were added to the cart
add multiple quantities of a variant to the cart when selecting
add a customer’s email address for receipts
Shipping Labels now available for Canada
For paid sellers that ship from Canada, you can now create and print shipping labels directly from your Big Cartel admin. The best part? Save up to 90% in shipping costs!
New & improved table view for products
We released a new enhanced product table view for all sellers. This table view gives you the ability to sort, filter, and directly edit product details without having to navigate to each individual product.
Abandoned Cart Recovery
Did you know that over 65% of shoppers that start a checkout end up abandoning their process and never complete it? Abandoned Cart Recovery emails are an industry best practice that have shown to recover 3-14% of these carts.
Abandoned cart recovery is a new Big Cartel feature that enables an important way to boost your sales: it’s a series of automated messages sent to customers who have added items to their cart, partially completed checkout, but haven't completed their purchase. These emails serve as friendly reminders that encourage your customers to return and complete payment — ultimately helping to recover abandoned carts and checkouts.
On our Diamond plan already? You can turn this feature on with a simple checkbox in your shop preferences.

Redesigned shop email templates
Talk about a glow up! We’ve redesigned all of the email templates used for our seller's shops — including order receipts and shipping notifications. These new designs are clean, modern, friendlier on mobile devices, and provides more information to your customers about their orders. All shops immediately benefit from this with no opt-in or change required.
