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!
New: Reach more customers with Google Shopping
We’re excited to announce our new integration with Google Shopping!
This feature automatically verifies and syncs your store with Google Merchant Center, allowing your products to be listed for free on Google Shopping. Effortlessly reach new customers and boost traffic to your shop – just connect and watch your products appear in relevant Google search results!
Plus, once connected, you’ll have the ability to run paid ads on Google to further promote your products. These ads, which you manage directly in Google Merchant Center, offer even more opportunities to reach potential customers.
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 app: Fera for ratings and reviews
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!
Automate your shop with Zapier
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.
TikTok Pixel and Pinterest Tag support
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.
Custom template code limit increased by 50%
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.
Facebook Pixel and Improved GA4
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.
