About
Big Cartel is an e-commerce platform built for creators, artists, makers, and small brands. It's known for simple store setup, flexible design, and tools for selling physical goods, digital goods, and print-on-demand products.
Among Big Cartel integrations built for growth, ShipStation handles the work that starts after checkout. ShipStation brings your paid orders into one dashboard, so your team can sort work faster, use batch printing, and automate routine shipping tasks before packing begins.

ShipStation also gives your Big Cartel store stronger post-purchase control. You can compare carrier options, send branded tracking updates, and watch shipping performance in real time, while Google Analytics and conversion rate tools stay focused on traffic and sales.
