In this quick class you will learn:

1. How to set up a BigCartel account
2. How to start loading up your products (and understand the limits and how to work around them)
3. How to choose a design and personalise it
4. How to connect a payment provider like Stripe or Paypal
5. How to go live and start promoting your store

This workshop is brought to you by Business Station and AusIndustry under the Digital Solutions Program.
