What can you do with Big Cartel on Tray.ai?
Big Cartel is an online store builder for artists and makers, used to sell products, take orders and manage shipping from a simple storefront. Tray.ai connects to Big Cartel through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Big Cartel API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Big Cartel sends “Order created”, add the sale to your accounting system.
- Create a shipment with tracking details when your shipping tool prints the label.
- When Big Cartel sends “Cart abandoned”, send a reminder email from your marketing system.
- Update a product with new stock levels when they change in your inventory system.

Set it up
Connect Big Cartel to Tray.ai
Each step uses Big Cartel's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Sign in to Big Cartel with OAuth 2.0
Set up an OAuth 2.0 authentication with the client ID and secret of an OAuth app you register with Big Cartel. Sign in once and every step reads the token from there.
Step 2
Point the HTTP Client at the API
Add an HTTP Client step and use https://api.bigcartel.com/v1 as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Big Cartel's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List products”
It's one of 19 documented actions, under Products. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Big Cartel events
Give Big Cartel the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Order created” can then start a workflow, and so can 7 other events.
