Shippo and Big Cartel

This new feature simplifies your shipping process and saves you money. Here’s how it helps:

  • Convenience: No more switching between Big Cartel and other shipping websites. Everything you need is right here.
  • Savings: Get access to discounted shipping rates through Shippo (U.S. and Canada). Royal Mail labels are available at standard rates for now.
  • Efficiency: Manage your orders and shipping in one place, reducing the chance of errors.
  • Easier returns: Create a return label while purchasing the original shipping label. You won’t be charged unless the return label is used and scanned by the carrier.
  • Refund unused labels: If you purchase a label you no longer need, you can submit a refund request from the order details page. Shippo processes eligible refund requests within 14 business days.
