This app helps you run your store wherever you go - all the dependable features you rely on from our desktop admin are in the app.
Here's a quick rundown of what you can expect to see when you launch the Big Cartel app for Android:
Check your shop’s pulse in the app anytime, anywhere. Run a big sale? Get featured in a holiday gift guide? Wherever the shoppers are coming from, stay on top of all your traffic and sales with a tap and a swipe. Everything you love about the Dashboard on desktop is there!

Spot new trends in your shop’s growth and popularity
Keep tabs on your conversion rates to see where to improve
Break down product and category views, sales, and revenue
Getting orders is probably the most exciting part of running a shop, but there can be a lot to manage with each one. The Big Cartel app makes it easy to see what was ordered, what’s been shipped, and if something needs your attention.

On paid plans, track your inventory on the go
Also for paid plans, use bulk edit to quickly update your shipping rates
Now you have control of your discounts on the go. Have a great idea for an Instagram promo you want to run right now? You got it. Forgot to end your Black Friday sale? No sweat. Curious about your most popular discounts? You’ve got that, too.

Process cash orders for folks without plastic
Give someone a quick deal by adding a discount to an order
Send your buyer an optional email receipt
Make sure your app is updated to at least version 1.1.0 for some sweet in-person checkout action.
Everything you need to manage your shop is on your mobile device. And you can do it all without ever cracking open a laptop.
Change your store name or email when a new branding idea strikes
Add a shop description and profile image for optimal SEO
