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.

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 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.
