Mossy vs Big Cartel: Built for UK Makers
Big Cartel has been a go-to for independent artists worldwide. But if you're UK-based or selling to UK customers, there's a better option built specifically for you.
The UK Difference
Big Cartel is US-based, designed for the American market.
Mossy is built in the UK, for UK businesses. That means better payment rates, local support in your timezone, and a platform that gets the UK market.
What You'll Actually Pay
Here's what a £50 sale really costs you:
Big Cartel (Platinum Plan)
- £9.99/month for up to 50 products
- £1.58 payment processing (2.9% + $0.30 via Stripe)
- Total per transaction: 3.16%
Mossy
- £10/month for unlimited products
- £0.58 payment processing (0.75% + £0.20 for UK cards)
- Total per transaction: 1.16%
You save £1 on every £50 sale. That's 63% less in payment fees.
The Savings Add Up
- 10 sales/month (£500): Save £10
- 25 sales/month (£1,250): Save £25
- 50 sales/month (£2,500): Save £50
No Product Limits
Big Cartel caps you at 50 products on their £9.99 plan. Want more? Upgrade to £24/month for 500 products.
Mossy gives you unlimited products at £10/month. Grow your catalogue without worrying about hitting a cap or paying more.
Why UK Businesses Choose Mossy
- Lower fees — Keep more of every sale (63% savings on payment processing)
- No limits — Unlimited products, not 50
- Local support — UK-based team in your timezone, not 1pm-11pm EST
- GBP pricing — No USD conversions or international rates
- Built for you — Designed for UK makers selling to UK customers
The Bottom Line
Big Cartel is solid, but it's built for a different market. Why pay international rates and deal with timezone differences when you don't have to?
Mossy puts more money back in your pocket — lower fees, no product limits, and a platform that actually understands your market.
Stop paying American processing rates. Build with Mossy.
