Here are the things that I like in SamCart : 1. Multiple Payment Options (one-payment, recurring etc.), Order Bumps, and 1-Click Upsells are my favorite - helps in Customer Value Optimization 2. Subscription Saver and Cart Abandonment - Helps saving orders/subscriptions 3. With features like Duplicate Product, the time taken in creating new products gets reduced 4. New Integration Engine with tons of triggers And, Courses Apps looks cool too (would be worth a try if you are starting out and not having any already in place things for Courses)
For now, I think there isn't anything that I dislike.
I'm helping in selling Training & Courses Online, and SamCart has helped me getting it done fast & efficiently.
Easy to use. The solution is used by client and has excellent funnels. Allows for rapid creation of solutions that fit dynamic needs and even straight forward. When your looking or a SaaS and don't have a team that wants to learn a large complex solution, this solution is perfect.
I would like to see more integrations and for them to take place quicker. Often times this is a limitation to a platform. Although we have seen new integrations added frequently, we still want to see a much larger library. Their team has been VERY receptive to request.
Simple straight line make a purchase funnel. It allows you to rapidly test and determine value of each step in the process. Most carts are large platforms, this one allows you to make simple creations quickly. Therefore large investments are not needed, like a SamCart.
That each day the content was digestible and the length of the challenge was spot on.
Not having a tour of creation u before hand to know how to use the resources that were available.
Customer experience when buying digital products. The benefits are how easy it is to sell a didgutal course, how to scale and then how to upsell.
It's so easy to use! I'm not tech-savvy and always get nervous when we use new software, but SamCart is extremely user-friendly. But what I like the best is the fact that we finally have a way to charge people to pay whatever they want. We have a class that is donation-based. People can pay anything from 0 to however much they want to pay. That seemed to be almost impossible until we found SamCart. So happy!
I think they added a lot of new services, which is obviously great for them but confusing to me. I haven't looked at any of the course creation services because I want to keep it simple for us.
People now have an option to pay what they want/can for our community classes. It looks professional and is super easy for our clients to use.
Love the drag and drop options when building a sales/checkout page. Easy interface so anyone on our team can figure out how to use it.
would love a live chat support option for when you're building a site... otherwise have to wait long time to fix one error... also an option to add an accounting email to client's account would be nice to send copies to both - employee who purchased our product and a copy to accounting dept. also we have a product with different price points... the system makes us create a NEW product each time... can we create it once and then just have multiple price points under it? It's not super clear on how to add an additional product to a client on the back end. we've figured it out but it wasn't super logical.
1 page website is awesome Would also love to see stats from other users - which templates are converting the best and also seeing examples of what's performing best. integrations with our CRM is awesome mainly solving the sales / sale cart and now have started using the 1 page website -- great for low cost products... Can you also add a 2 step website ( sales page --> check out page) for high ticket products? then this will help us solve the need of using another platform for the sales page.
SamCart is clean, simple and professional. We loved having the capability to customize the checkout page with our own logo, description, images and design. SamCart support was incredible. Personalized support was available at any time. During a training (that was graciously abbreviated to fit my schedule) I learned invaluable tips and tricks including copying checkout templates so I only had to create a beautiful checkout experience one time! Because we are a non profit, the sales and products during this fundraiser are different than most commerce platforms. However, SamCart worked beautifully for us, because we could deliver a digital product (in our case, a link to a 'Thank You' page on our website) immediately. We sold products like "1 Month of Food" or "3 Months of Medication" or "1 Audio Bible." The reporting tools on SamCart were excellent and very helpful as we tallied up each of the items fundraised. Everyone who donated to the fundraiser did so without any trouble during the purchase and checkout process. This has NOT been the case with other platforms we have used in the past. We will Definitely be using SamCart again in the future! SamCart has a feature that allows administrators to do test purchases! With other platforms, I've had to do small, actual purchases to test out the system. Previewing the check out page is very simple; this is immensely helpful during the design and refinement process.
Would like a shopping cart option. It was fantastic to have the ability to use order bumps, upsells, and even pay-what-you-want options! These features helped increase our fundraiser revenue immensely and alleviated the inconvenience of not having a shopping cart.
SamCart integrates beautifully with Stripe. All funds were immediately deposited into our Stripe account with no need for a third party transfer or even batch transfer. I LOVE that SamCart has a pause plan, because we will not be running fundraisers all the time. This will likely be an annual occurrence and it's very helpful to only pay for the months we are using SamCart! This is very helpful for our church budget and allows us to use SamCart with all it's beautiful bells and whistles without the big price tag. Having all of the information for the buyer/donor on a single page helps with converting visitors to customers. They see what they need to see quickly and clearly. From cart to checkout is just 1 or 2 clicks away! Order Bumps are worth every penny!! They are customizable to the product page and are easy revenue. Customers who are already buying something are likely to purchase an easy add on.
Samcart is a tool that, out of the box, let's you integrate with a lot of different pieces of software, helping you "close the gaps" on any technology pieces you might have needed to get some sales going with your funnel. I use it for my online course, and switching to it has helped me have more insight and more control over the last stage of the sales process--the checkout. Samcart can be used for other things (which I'll eventually probably get around to) but for the few functions (of many) I'm using it for, it's been a great tool. Well worth the price.
So far I don't have any qualms with the software at all. Happy to be using it. There eventually will need to be a bit more options for editing the checkout page, but I'm happy with it for sure.
I was using teachable for everything previously--hosting my course, sending emails and accepting payment, tracking sales, etc. The SERIOUS problem with teachable that made me refuse to use it outside of hosting my course is that there was absolutely no data on how many monthly subscribers I had, what their balances were, etc. I was also not able to manually charge anyone or do anything outside of the most rigid functions of people being able to just sign up, pay on time and use the course. Samcart gives me that insight. Samcart also has a much better, customizable checkout page whereas Teachable is pretty much doing what they can to LOWER conversions. Since switching over, our conversion rates have certainly gone up. So nowadays, again, Teachable hosts my course content, while I manage sales and subscriptions, and different checkout page types and different products, price points, testing and all that through Samcart. Makes a world of a difference.
It's hard to choose just one! The automated emails for failed payments is great because it's one less task that we have to worry about keeping up with and the affiliate program is great feature to offer members of ours to share with their community and expand our reach while rewarding them. The ease of setting up checkout pages and creating specific offers for each product or service is great, it's nice to be able to integrate two cart offerings, like a monthly payment or a paid in full discount cart on the same checkout page. The bump ups are also great for increasing sales right before checkout.
Some limitations in automations with Kajabi, we have found workarounds for these though with the help of support. I would like to see a different view for payments that fail other than the static view of all transactions, something that shows per person when their payment failed and then once they acknowledge one of the auto emails and update their payment information, and then once their payment clears.
Streamlining business tasks and receiving payments with ease. Being able to setup multiple products quickly and easily how been very helpful in the growth of our business. Setting up an affiliate program has been a great benefit that we can offer to our members to reward them for sharing a membership they find value in with their friends and family.
