Frequently asked questions

FAQs about the Instagram widget

Have a specific question about embedding the Instagram widget? Check the FAQ section below or click the bottom right chat icon and talk with us.

Does EmbedSocial work with BigCartel themes?

Yes. EmbedSocial’s Instagram widget works with any BigCartel theme. Open Accounts > Customize Design, click the code icon to edit your theme HTML, and paste the EmbedSocial widget code where you want the feed. The widget automatically scales to fit the container width, so it looks correct on every BigCartel theme without any extra configuration.

Do I need to install a BigCartel app to use EmbedSocial?

No. EmbedSocial does not require a BigCartel app or any installation. You connect your Instagram account inside the EmbedSocial dashboard, generate a widget code, then paste it into your BigCartel theme. The widget runs directly from EmbedSocial’s servers, with no app, no plugin, and no developer access needed.

Does the Instagram feed widget work on BigCartel mobile view?

Yes. EmbedSocial’s Instagram widget is fully responsive and automatically adapts to mobile screen sizes. You can preview your BigCartel store on mobile before publishing, and the feed adjusts to the smaller screen. You can also set a different number of columns for desktop and mobile so the feed always looks clean on every device.

Can I add the Instagram widget to multiple pages on my BigCartel store?

Yes. You can create multiple Instagram widgets inside EmbedSocial and embed each one on a different part of your BigCartel store. For example, place a branded feed on your homepage and a shoppable feed on a product page. Each widget has its own code and can be styled differently. All widgets are managed from a single EmbedSocial dashboard.

Will the Instagram widget slow down my BigCartel store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your BigCartel store content has rendered, so it never delays your above-the-fold load time. EmbedSocial uses lazy loading so the feed only activates when a visitor scrolls near it. BigCartel stores with EmbedSocial embedded maintain normal page speed scores and are not penalized by Google’s Core Web Vitals assessment.

Can I display customer Instagram posts on my BigCartel store, not just my own?

Yes. EmbedSocial can pull Instagram content from your own account, from posts where customers have tagged or mentioned your brand, or from any branded hashtag. You can combine all three sources into one widget. Before anything goes live on your BigCartel store, you can approve or hide individual posts using the moderation tools inside the EmbedSocial dashboard.

Does the Instagram feed on my BigCartel store update automatically?

Yes. Once your Instagram account is connected to EmbedSocial, the feed syncs automatically whenever you post something new. You do not need to log back in, update the code, or make any changes in BigCartel. New posts appear in the widget on your store within minutes of being published on Instagram.
