Integrate Big Cartel with Google Sheets to automate your work

You can connect Big Cartel to Google Sheets using our platform by setting up a workflow, often referred to as a "zap." The basic setup involves choosing Big Cartel as your trigger app and selecting an event that starts the zap, such as 'New Order.' Then, you select Google Sheets as your action app and choose an event like 'Create Spreadsheet Row' to decide what happens in your sheet when a new order is placed.

When integrating Big Cartel with other applications like Google Sheets, you can use triggers such as 'New Order,' which activates whenever a customer makes a purchase. This trigger allows us to automatically send information from Big Cartel to your connected apps.

Our integration primarily focuses on automating live data syncs based on triggers. To import existing data into Google Sheets, you may need to manually export it from Big Cartel and upload it. However, for ongoing order management or updates, the automated updates via zaps will keep your sheet current.

Once you've selected 'New Order' as your trigger in Big Cartel, you can build your zap by choosing Google Sheets and setting the action event to 'Create Spreadsheet Row' or 'Update Spreadsheet Row.' This way, each time there's a new order, details such as quantity and billing info are automatically updated in the sheet.

You can send various pieces of information from Big Cartel orders such as customer names, order quantities, total prices, billing addresses, and more. When setting up your action step in Google Sheets within the zap configuration process, you'll map these fields according to what you need transferred.

Yes, our platform can update existing rows in Google Sheets when using stored identifiers like transaction IDs that match between both systems. In your zap setup process with actions under the spreadsheet settings, select 'Update Spreadsheet Row' and map how new incoming data should overwrite or amend current rows.

While our system facilitates seamless integration between Big Cartel and Google Sheets through defined triggers and actions (like creating or updating rows), it's important to note limitations such as syncing only after events occur (not real-time), potential rate limits on API requests by either platform, and any quotas imposed by spreadsheet size or number of cells used.
