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.

We've improved the order shipment process for manually added shipping details, including notifications to customers with tracking information. This update especially benefits our international sellers. Improvements include:

• Added 18 new carriers

• Based on your shop’s account country, we recommend certain carriers as "top" carriers which will more commonly match what they are looking for. Previously we were always recommending USPS, UPS and Fedex only.

• Optimized the workflow to make it faster and less error-prone

We’ve partnered with Fera.ai as a new app available for paid sellers to enhance their shops with ratings and reviews. Setup is quick and simple — no coding required!

We’ve added express checkout for shops using Stripe as their payment processor. Express checkout allows your customers to quickly complete their purchase by skipping billing and shipping information, leading to higher conversion rates and increased sales. Express checkout works with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Stripe Link.

We’ve supported Zapier for years, but have now updated it with 6 new triggers and, for the first time, over 20 actions that are invaluable for automating your shops. It’s immediately available for all sellers on a paid plan.

Sellers on Big Cartels’s Diamond plan now have ability to add up to 25 images for each product! Eligible shops that are on our latest templates automatically have the feature enabled. If you’re on an old template, head over to Shop Designer and update your template version.

If you’re using a print-on-demand app with Big Cartel like Printful, we’ll now import up to 25 images per product instead of limiting it to 5.

Following last week’s release, which introduced Facebook Pixel and enhanced Google Analytics 4 (GA4), we’ve now added TikTok Pixel and Pinterest Tag support for paid plans. These apps enable shoppable ads and posts on both platforms for you to drive traffic and boost your sales.

For sellers using custom template code, we’ve increased the maximum length of custom CSS and template customization code by 50%! This allows our sellers to make more powerful and complex template changes that often require more code.

We added support for Facebook Pixel for all paid plans. Facebook Pixel is a powerful analytics tool that allows you to measure the effectiveness of your advertising by understanding the actions people take on your website. By integrating Facebook Pixel into your Big Cartel shop, you can track conversions, optimize ads based on collected data, and build targeted audiences for future campaigns. This means you can reach people who are more likely to be interested in your products, maximizing your advertising budget and ultimately increasing sales.

This is a no code app — all you need to do is setup your Facebook Pixel ID and all the complex code is automatically added throughout your shop.

We’ve also enhanced our Google Analytics (GA4) app that improves reporting with item level cart details. Sellers on our Diamond plan get even more events such as add_to_cart, begin_checkout and more. These new events drive an even more in-depth reports in GA4 that can help you understand your customers and optimize your shop.
