Sometimes you just need a small solution to get a job done. If online selling is secondary to your core business, maybe you’re looking to distribute a tutorial or turn a profit on market research, too many features can just get in the way.

Think about Big Cartel instead. This platform was designed with the do-it-yourselfer or small shopkeeper in mind and offers the bare minimum of features required to sell a product or service online, such as:

• A straightforward user interface that lets you create and manage your store, including inventory controls and sales stats
• Pre-stocked store templates and page designs (or create your own)
• The ability to charge sales tax and shipping and/or offer discount codes
• Free Big Cartel domain or use your own
• Convenient PayPal checkout – no need to setup or pay for credit card processing

Check out the store we threw together in 3 minutes (granted, that shows):

Big Cartel offers a free account that comes with 5 product slots and hosting. The Diamond package, which is about $20/month, comes with 100 product slots, full customization, inventory tracking, product reviews, and visitor stats.

There’s no need to pay for a lot of extras you don’t need. Here’s a hassle-free solution for selling just about anything online.
