We added a new App Center to showcase all of our apps and integrations available to Big Cartel sellers. Each app includes a dedicated page that helps walk through setup and key features. Many apps now offer simple one-click installations, making it easier than ever to get started!

We’ve also added new apps for DropInBlog, Chatway, Common Ninja for our sellers on paid plans.

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.

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.

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.

Added support for 4 new currencies: UAE Dirham (AED), Bulgarian Lev (BGN), Croatian Kuna (HRK) and Romanian Leu (RON).

If you want to switch to one of these new currencies in your shop, head over to your location and currency settings.

To help checkout conversion for shops with limited inventory during periods of higher sales volume and traffic, we've added the following note within checkout that reminds shoppers that products aren't reserved until they checkout:

Heads up! Items in your cart are not guaranteed until you complete check out.

All shops now have the most up-to-date and best code to support search engine optimization (SEO) using the JSON-LD standard.
