Zegashop vs Big Cartel

Zegashop is a user-friendly, AI powered website builder for small businesses to create professional e-commerce stores with drag-and-drop functionality, and included SEO and payment features at no extra transaction cost.

It is a good choice for businesses seeking a simple way to build an online store, but may lack some advanced customization options available on platforms like WordPress for larger, more complex needs. 

Big Cartel is a lightweight e-commerce platform designed especially for artists, makers, and creative entrepreneurs who want to sell their work online without unnecessary complexity. It offers easy store setup, free themes, and HTML/CSS customization so you can build a shop that reflects your aesthetic.

The platform supports selling both online and in person, accepts multiple payment methods (cards, PayPal, wallets, etc.), enables inventory tracking and shipping options, and offers promotional tools like discount codes.

Big Cartel has a free plan (limited products, basic features) and tiered premium plans that increase number of listed products, image uploads, domain control, and access to features like app integrations, real-time stats, and deeper customization.
