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.
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.

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 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.
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.
We’ve added our first new shop template in 4 years! Introducing Cosmos, our latest template that is available for sellers on both free and paid plans.
It’s a theme that is suitable for both beginners and experienced sellers who want a flexible and visually appealing template that can be easily customized to meet their specific needs. Whether you are just getting started or looking to change things up, Cosmos has you covered.
For all templates, we’ve also introduced a new Style Picker which makes it easier to pick visually appealing combinations of colors and fonts. The style picker gives you single click presets for each theme that can get you and running more quickly.
