Install the Pin It Button

Login to your Big Cartel account and navigate to DESIGN->PAGES. Select the PRODUCT template to edit. Decide where to place the button. We suggest under the thumbnails or under the add to cart button. But you can place anywhere and use css if necessary to style differently.

<div class="pinterest">
<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url={{ page.full_url }}&media={{ product.image | product_image_url }}&description={{ product.name | escape }} by {{ store.name }}" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="none">Pin It</a>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>
</div>

We will be including the Pinterest Pin It button in our Big Cartel themes and if you have an older one it is fairly easy to add next to the existing twitter and facebook share buttons. Good luck.

A simple widget shows related products on a Big Cartel Product Page

A popular feature of our Big Cartel themes has been the related products display on the product pages. This has been done in one of two ways but really the solution is limited and not terribly helpful to shoppers. So that led us to this idea to create a widget that shop owners could carefully and deliberately select the specifics products that should be displayed.

A Related Products Widget for Big Cartel

We will be opening the app up to a few lucky shop owners soon. In the meantime check out the screenshots and please sign up to be notified when we open up the new website for beta user signups. This is just the beginning of tools we are going to provide you to sell more this year.

Here you can see how to select the related products for display

Tonka Park’s Big Cartel Widgets as a Service

This new application will be a premium online service and hopefully will have more features being added to the lineup in the coming months based on feedback. With that in mind once this makes its way through testing by some initial shop owners we are considering providing this widget at a monthly price yet to be determined. Ideally the goal is to bring additional, easy to use features to your Big Cartel shop so you do not have to upgrade to a self hosted cart or a different hosted cart that will ultimately cost you more each month for features we can provide you at a low cost without the hassle of leaving Big Cartel.

We will be taking a few beta users initially so make sure to be on our mailing list for this new web application.

This time we have built Shuffle, a simple random browser to take you to a new big cartel shop at the click of a button. Think of it as the most basic stumbleupon clone you have ever seen. Limited in features but it will help you discover new and interesting shops you might not have found when simply browsing the Big Cartel Directory page by page.

So go ahead and Shuffle to the next Big Cartel store. Then use the green button to shuffle to the next store until you find something you like.
