Connect Big Cartel to Sorank

Big Cartel is a simple store builder for artists and makers, but it offers no API to publish blog posts into it. Sorank still gives you a fully automated SEO blog on your own domain.

Why Big Cartel needs a hosted blog

Big Cartel's API is read-only and focuses on products and orders, not blog publishing. There is no endpoint to push an article into a Big Cartel blog, so instead of pasting every post by hand, you let Sorank host the blog for you.

The simple route: host your blog on Sorank

Sorank publishes and hosts your articles on your own subdomain, for example blog.yourdomain.com, linked from your Big Cartel shop. Every post strengthens your domain authority.

1. In Sorank, go to Settings > Integrations and open Manage my blog.
2. Click Activate my blog.
3. Add the CNAME and TXT DNS records at your domain provider, then verify.

Link it from your Big Cartel site

Add a Blog link in your Big Cartel shop menu pointing to your hosted blog subdomain. Visitors move smoothly between your shop and your blog, and Google indexes both under your domain.
