Update: 7/20/2011 – get your $2 Big Cartel theme or browse our other premium big cartel templates
Many people come to this website looking for tips on customizing their Big Cartel shops. In an effort to continue to provide useful information I wanted to point you to a great list of customizations for your Big Cartel store.
Natalie Jost provides 7 great customizations for your Big Cartel shop with a paid plan where you have full access to the html templates.
The original 7 customizations she covers are:
1. Product Navigation
Based on using the variables mentioned here http://help.bigcartel.com/articles/21-variables#product
{{ product.next_product | link_to: "Next >" }}
{{ product.previous_product | link_to: "< Back" }}
2. Making room for a long product description
I have noticed that most people do not have long product descriptions. But if you do this could be helpful.
3. Bars for product image navigation
This is an interesting twists on the display of the additional product images instead of the default numbers. Some of our themes include actual thumbnails of the additional images.
4. Different content for different page
This uses some of the condition filters to show different things based on variables.
5. Free Shipping Threshold
Adding a notice to the top of the cart page that you will reimburse shipping costs. Big Cartel does not yet support this as an actual feature.
6. Add images to cart
Most of the themes sold by Tonka Park include product page thumbnails and thumbnails in the cart.
7. Add qty input field to product page
Find this tip right in the help manual for special filters, http://help.bigcartel.com/articles/20-filters#special
Quantity: {{ product | product_quantity_input }}
The list continues to grow
