Samcart Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

It is very easy to use (if I can master it with zero tech and marketing skills, anyone can) and the customer onboarding and support are exceptional.

I wish it had even more integrations, but I think that is on other companies to get on board the SamCart train.

It is the easiest e-commerce solution I have ever experienced (easy to build high-converting and attractive pages and easy to process payments). The direct benefit to me has been a 5-figure/month revenue stream that began within weeks of joining.

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.

The dashboard is simple and intuitive. The customer support may be the primary reason.

I do wish blank templates without prepopulated areas (with other businesses) were an option. I know I can build from scratch. I like seeing the layout of the options. It throws me off when I see prebuilt templates.

Simplicity to get my service to market. The benefit is that I can be live in <15 minutes with my services to offer and I can do it on 1 page.

I love how easy the platform is to use. We started using SamCart after using Clickfunnels for several years and the difference is night and day. It's way more simple to create products, very easy to link to all of our other systems for fulfillment, and most importantly — easy to look at reports and see how our store is doing.

Honestly your templates really suck. This is the most frustrating part because you make a big deal out of all these great templates you have and most of them are garbage — way too funnely, too big of text, too much info above the checkout section on mobile. Your templates really need work. We've only been able to find 1 legacy template that works for us.

We use SamCart as JUST the checkout page of our funnel which I love. This means that we can have these beautiful font-end pages on Webflow and then direct to SamCart for the purchase.

The interface is clean and intuitive. Anything that isn't easy to figure out can almost always be found in the help section. New features are added all the time which always takes things to the next level.

I'd like to be able to directly update a customer's payment information, rather than requiring them to respond to an emailed request.

We have many products for which we offer individualized payment plans, SamCart makes this very simple. The user interface for product design is excellent and allows for duplication of products, which makes it much easier to create new, individualized products as needed. The integration between Thinkific and ConverKit is very good.

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.

I really like how easy it is to manage payment, especially when helping people set up membership sites or recurring billing at different tiers.

It’s hard to change people from one plan to another, but not a huge deal.

I no longer have to manage individual subscriptions within PayPal which was super annoying, this makes running membership sites and group coaching so much easier. And automations with email sequences and tagging in ConvertKit is amazing.

SamCart may not have the integrations that Shopify does, but it looks a lot better. And the upsell functions are great. I make most of my money on upsells and SamCart works better than Shopify there.

SamCart needs more integrations. It is very difficult to integrate SamCart with anything right now.

I can cut out a sales page and go direct to SamCart product pages. Their product pages can double as sales pages and cut out one set where you risk losing customers.

The speed that I can create fast good looking pages.

It is not an all in one program, i need to pair it with stripe, kajabi, and zapier to make a fully functional education business with it.

i am solving streamlined sales pages with easy bump sales

I love the high converting checkout pages!

I wish I could manually mark an affiliate as paid vs "generating payout csv"

Higher conversions on checkout page thus yielding higher revenue.

I am back again to Samcart. They KNOW how to do checkout pages. I'm so impressed by the tech upgrades and the new drag & drop builders abilities to make the pages look amazing and just how I want them both on desktop but also loving the mobile optimization. I'm also loving their added payment options, pay what you can options and subscription options. It gives such flexibility to us biz owners. But I think best of all even over all the cool new tech and integrations - their customer service just blows everyone else in the space away. Literally got a meeting with Chris S. (Sr. Customer Success Manager) who walked me through all the updates, showed me how to increase my conversions and increase average order value - BTW this was invaluable! Never, have I gotten customer service like this. If you're on the fence about what cart to go with - don't be. Sign up and enjoy the awesomeness!

I never should have migrated away from them in the first place... Lesson learned.

The ease of building a check out page and getting things set up is amazing. As well as implementing coupon codes, free membership trials etc... It's fantastic,

This is the easiest way ever both to make a sales page and to actually getting the money directly to your account! I made sales for 15 000,- dollars(US) the first two weeks of using SamCart, AND the support is amazing! I am not a data-person, but thanks to Chris`s amazing service ( responding immediately every single time!) I managed to build a beautiful sales page and actual sales! The feeling of waking up in the morning knowing that I`ve made sales while sleeping is just AMAZING! Thank you so much SamCart!

Absolutely nothing! I am 100% happy using SamCart!

I don`t need to send out invoices or fuss about getting paid. It`s all automized, and once I made the page I can just relax and wait for more money to enter my bank account:-)

The SamCart platform is easy to use and their templates are very helpful. What I really like about SamCart is their genuine interest in seeing us, Visual Thrive, succeed. Our Customer Success Manage has spent much time answering our questions, offering wonderful feedback on best practices of using their service to make more sales in an efficient way. Also, I feel they have gone the extra mile to make sure we are successful. I like the idea they do not take a percentage of our sales. We get check-ins from time-to-time and our Customer Success Manager answers our questions quickly. I have also used their online chat feature and they have always been responsive to our tech questions.

I actually do not have any dislikes for this platform and company. It has been a good match for us and I had tried other platforms and solutions before signing up with SamCart.

Many of our clients are subscription-based and SamCart allows me to manage those subscriptions efficiently and without paying a percentage of our sales. It has also allowed us to offer products that are for sale online and are easy to manage with automatic downloads.

The product page designer with drag and drop functionality. Great support, they reply quickly and with a solution to any problem. Easy to use, fast response on the site, easy to learn, lots of templates to get you started quickly. Samcart guides you from a simple checkout form to a full on sales letter to convert more

Somewhat scattered settings: sometimes to change a single line of text in a product page you have to look in 3 different places. Example: I want to change the Headline: I go to the drag and drop editor and change it. I want to change the price: I have to go inside the product page, price, and change it. I want to change the checkout form: I have to go inside checkout form in the designer to change the "buy" button but the other text is under "advanced settings" inside the product.

Increased sales by using sales bumps! Beautiful product pages with pictures, videos, bullets, colors... Very easy on the customer! Ability to save product pages as templates to save time for next time. Quick search functionality, a nice dashboard to look at your sales at a glance... With the increase in sales, it pays for itself!

Seeing everything at a glance, really clear graphics and well laid out site. Samcart helps me to coordinate and log all my sales and communicates well within my email compilation chain. I'm a musician and have little time for admin, so this is a bonus for me!

No provision for unique prod. SKU number

I had Samcart recommended to me with no experience of prior unsolved problems.

The order bump! The ability to make more money with every sale with a simple process to get started.

I'm a fan. I can't think of anything that I dislike about SamCart.

Simplified selling, easy to set up, easy to outline paying points for my customers, simplified templates already made.

easy templates and a pretty good (not perfect) dashboard

no user dashboard and I'd like to be able to offer multiple "seats" to multiple users where they can enter individual email address'. Not able to embed the checkout pages into my site.

The checkout process, we don't need a long checkout with numerous facts etc as we have our own sales pages but they don't hurt at all. The benefits we get are fairly good integrations with our tools to make the journey better for our customers and the tracking of that journey for us.

I greatly appreciate the wonderful customer service I received from Jonathan W, SamCart's Support Manager. He was very personable and professional as he worked with me through various glitches in the renewal of my subscription, including compassionately pausing the process while I took time to be with family after the passing of my mother.

I am at the beginning stages of getting my site up and going, and the Customer Support provided by Jonathan is a wonderful start to my experience with SamCart. I'm excited to get things set up so I can launch my services and online courses!

Having lots of moving pieces can be laborious and overwhelming. The "all-in-one" trajectory helps simplify things, and I appreciate that so much is built into SamCart already, with Courses being a key feature, or can be connected through the integrations.
