Big Cartel Latest Updates

Improvement: Single-use discount codes

Paid plans only

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

Paid plans only

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!

Three phone illustrations show screens representing the new Google Shopping experience, including results for a jacket, shoes, sunglasses and backpacks.

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.
