  1. @rhold @DemocracyMattersALot switching from A to Etsy (some years ago, they jacked the percentage they charge sellers & in the early days of the #Ukraine war, froze the accounts of Ukrainian sellers) isn’t really an improvement, particularly if you’re talking to/about independent creators, makers, or craftspeople. Be careful which platforms you’re recommending even obliquely. Trading the devil you know for one that you don’t is not a wise choice because neither is our friend. People need to take the time not just to vet platforms but also to explain the reasoning behind their choices. (Better alternatives might be #ArtisansCooperative, #BigCartel, #IndieMade or #GoImagine )

  2. With the 50% price hike coming in, I'd like to move my #BigCartel store to #KoFi, but their images are too teeny tiny to see my clay work properly :blobugh:

  3. Blimey, #BigCartel increasing their prices by 50% is a HUGE jump and one I can't justify as I only sell a few pieces per month (if that, lately! 😬 )

    What's #KoFi like for store hosting?

  4. Artists with online shops: what has been your experience using BigCartel.com? I’m contemplating a switch. I’m currently using Square’s online store powered by Weebly. I’m based in Canada. #Advice #recommendation #BigCartel

  5. It's possible to add a Customer Reviews plug-in to #BigCartel stores (Powr) but the interface is pretty naff so I've been reluctant to do so. :blobfrowningbig:

  6. Have any #artists out there with a #BigCartel store managed to find a good solution for allowing customers to add reviews? I tried installing powr but I don’t really like how it looks. 🫤

    It’s pretty much the only thing I miss from my #Etsy store.
