Samcart Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

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.

I love the ease of purchasing from one sales page. And best of all I get an acutal person on the phone or zoom who shows up prepared, quickly goes through my site and makes adjustments to my products to help me sell more. I'm truly blown away by the knowledge the Samcart folks have and how they are able to understand my business and how to make the most out of what I'm selling. Now I am loving the course app through Samcart. It's a clean look and easy to use. N

I don't have anything I dislike at this time.

Customers click once. That's it. And I can upsell from this same page. I have definitely made more money using SamCart.

The customer support! It's excellent! I especially appreciate the zoom calls I did when I first created my account.

Nothing. So far, Sam Cart has been user friendly

They are helping me with payment processing and creating sales pages.

It's easy to use, and there are a variety of different plans available to suit businesses of any size. I love the ease of integration with other systems and setting up products is simple. I also appreciate all the trainings that are available to help with just about anything you might need.

Having free products isn't easy and requires a workaround that takes away from the professional appearance of the pages. The new landing page feature is OK, but needs work to be more editable and flexible in the same way the sales pages are.

I'm a solopreneur and needed a platform to help me manage payments and sales pages. With all the expanded services and the ease of use, it has made selling my coaching packages a no-brainer. I've never had an issue with the technology (apart from my own lack of tech savvy).

You can get an online presence FAST and there are constant improvements being made. I'm not a huge user at the moment but Samcart is helping me create exactly what I want.

You can't start something on a certain date. It all depends on the date the subscriber/person signs up.

Getting my online course out to the world.

Samcart is so easy to use with so many useful, out-of-the-box features built in. Plus their customer support is fantastic.

We are attempting to use Samcart for a more extensive product catalog, which it's not really built for, so we have workarounds we have to put in place but we knew that when signing up.

The system we were using for post-purchase funnels was retiring and we needed another one. Samcart is a very marketer-friendly solution and we're really happy.

User-friendly experience with Dashboard, access to Samcart Team + support on all levels!

Lots of clicking to ensure toggles are on, but what can you do when you need to trigger multiple actions.

Billing, Product Checkout, integrations with Mailchimp + Stripe, Customer sales journey.

I help a lot of business owners launch membership sites, coaching offers, product sales, etc... and billing management is usually a headache, especially with Stripe. SamCart makes it all super easy. I love the dashboard, the ability to easily send users a secure email to update their card (Stripe users know how annoying this is), and it's extremely easy to create checkout pages and new products. I wouldn't use any other service at the moment for managing billing and taking sign-ups.

Honestly, it's great. The sales page templates are a little hard to customize, but they look great out of the box, so I don't really see a need to change much. But if you're very picky about design, it's hard to tweak their templates in any significant way.

Managing multiple subscription offerings for multiple businesses, especially when payments fail, people need to update their card on file, or cancel/pause/refund etc...

With SamCart clients have focus, they don't loose themselves surfing thousands of products, no! One sales page with one single product it's the perfect aproach. See me full review here: https://www.trustedauthorityreviews.com/

Nothing to complaint about. Really amazing experience.

Well, SamCart makes it easier when it comes to closing the deal with a customer.

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.

It's easy to use for quickly making sales pages and selling single products for people that don't need an entire catalog of a store.

Haven't used it enough to determine what all things I dislike about it yet.

Quick development of product sales pages. Speed of implementation is great.

I have sampled the software and will use it more with upcoming launches, even after studying the world of online sales, content and marketing the creator U course had me reaching for my pen time after time to take notes on some great ideas to take things to the next level and narrow in on my messages for my audience.

The only challenge I had was figuring out how advertising could work without a Facebook ad account. My FB account is blocked with no solution and although the content shows a lot on FB ads. Though I find the process shared of finding target audience still applies on my IG ads and other platforms.

As a traditional face to face business, I have never had to navigate so much online space as I did when I changed my business. I went through hours of building my own website with frills and unnecessary pages. Samcart has been great at reminding me what is ACTUALLY needed, a good landing page, a smooth checkout process and the knowledge to actually get eyes on my pages and products.

I was surprised to get a free scheduled phone call with a product rep. Ruben was super helpful and gave me tons of great advice to improve my sales page.

It's a bit pricer than what I was paying elsewhere, but the added features and ability to talk to a human being when I run into issues make it worthwhile.

Product delivery, Order database, Sales Page Builder. I've increased my sales with SamCart with the ability to offer upsells and bumps.

I became a Samcart customer a little over two months ago. I came to Samcart with two years of intensive online course creation and marketing after Covid required me to shut down my international, in-person training programs. So, I do have extensive experience with e-learning platforms and funnel-type marketing platforms. When my new partner and I began to produce a new signature online training program, I began researching the current market of platforms to see which would make the most sense for our new online course. I am always trying to find one platform that is not only a great platform to deliver an online course but also is strong in marketing abilities. Somehow, I was receiving some emails from Samcart, so I watched a few of their evergreen webinars, and I decided to sign up for a free trial. The more time I spent inside Samcart, setting up a few simple digital products, hooking up a custom domain, connecting my Stripe account, creating and designing a one-page sales page, learning and testing the order bumps, etc... I was continually delighted at the ease of use, the smooth way I could launch my digital products, the way the various components of the platform so nicely interacted with each other, and how easy it was for people to make purchases and get their content. There is also a simply elegant and effective way to test the sale of each product before making it go live, using a sample credit card, and I can see exactly what my customers will see when they purchase the products. Very cool! I could go on and on with the many ways Samcart makes it easy, efficient, and, might I say fun, to build my products into an attractive and compelling presentation for potential customers. Next, I tried making a course in the new course app. This was the primary reason I decided to go with Samcart, the combination of a great marketing platform and a learning management system that works hand-in-hand - a big deal for me, and I am thrilled with how they interact. To start, I transferred one of the short courses that I have in a different platform and began selling it in Samcart. It worked out so well that I then purchased the Samcart yearly plan. Since then, I have done something else that has been an enormous plus in Samcart. I re-purposed several webinars I had delivered in the past few years and turned them into "mini-courses" on Samcart. I am selling them not to make money really but as a way to promote my signature course. And, in Samcart, I am using the "pay what you can" feature, which my customers love! The course app works just great, and I the ability to embed my Vimeo videos for the course is perfect. Also, I can offer downloads worksheets for assignments, and I can set up the course so that the students are required to go in order of the lessons, which is a must for me. The course app is still relatively young, and I look forward to its development as there are a few features I would like the Samcart team to add - one is the ability for students to upload video files for assignments; this is a key for my two signature course which I hope to move over to Samcart soon. Most importantly, the course app works great, and the students in my current courses love it. One more thing I must include. Since day one, the support I have received has been first-rate!! I have been working with my support person Ruben Cantu who is thoughtful, kind, generous with his time, a real expert at helping me navigate the Samcart platform, and incredibly fast at responding to me when I ask for help. He is always making the extra effort to answer my questions, and he always offers me the opportunity to jump onto a Zoom session and show me exactly what to do so that I have no confusion or doubt about using Samcart in the best ways possible for my business! Wow, this is truly rare in the online world, how many companies can say they offer this kind of support? I have found very few. Thanks Ruben!! I now am very excited about the upcoming launch of our newest signature course and incredibly happy to have it in Samcart! Thanks to the Samcart team. I have become a very big fan!

I have found nothing to dislike, actually.

Benefits my online course business both in delivery of content and marketing and sales of digital products and courses.

Ease of use. Everything is there I need to run my business.

I haven't found anything yet but I will check in again after 6 months!

I have built an online business from the ground up in the past. All the integrations and parts and pieces it took. Months of long days. I never thought I'd find anywhere that had checked all the boxes that I needed but that is no longer with Samcart. Samcart does the heavy lifting, which leaves me to do what I really want to do... create and sell. Samcart solves my "time problem". I know I can create a great course fast with the tools at Samcart. They biggest benefit for me - hands down - is the platinum training on marketing and positioning your products, brand and business. It's all there. Brian and Scott and the whole team are literally giving away the farm when they teach. It couldn't be better. Drill down into the details and you've got it all right there.

The platform is user-friendly and intuitive to use. Easy to find what I am looking for and CreatorU is a great resource.

I would love to see the library organized a little better. There are so many resources, it would be great to have a dropdown menu or a little different format for this section

Changing mindset and working smarter, not harder as a solo entreprenuer. The benefits is that anyone can use SamCart and anyone can work to have a better mindset

Pre-designed templates, easy to edit, lots of sales features you can manage, excellent learning user experience—all you need in one place, which makes it better than other options.

Nothing to dislike, maybe add the possibility to customize the language to reach a broader audience and increase sales opportunities. Drag and drop features would be awesome to make editing even more effortless.

I invest less time creating a sales page, and I don´t need to hire specialists to design it since I can do most of the creation job myself. My course looks more professional!

They have put a lot of time into making their platform effective and easy to use.

If you have a question that is not already addressed in their help section, you have to jump through a couple of hoops, but I have always gotten support when needed.

I am not the most tech saavy, and I am putting a digital course together. Samcart has the easiest system and what looks like the most effective platform.

How easy it was to follow the steps. The program is broken up into short 20 minute sessions and in each session, 1 subject is handled. That made it very easy to follow, easy to do the steps every day over a 2 week period and be successful. I have done several courses like this and was never as far ahead as I am now with this program. I am very excited that I can have something ready to sell in a few days.

Nothing really. Everything is pretty clear in terms of how to do it and what steps tp go through to make a successful product. I had a live zoom call scheduled with someone from Samcart that never happened. Not sure why and not sure if this is related to the SamCart course.

The problem I am solving is how to offer the material I have in an easy and structured way so that it will sell. I have the content information all in my head and various papers etc but never found a good way of easily putting it into an online course. The encouragament the guys give is very helpful.

I have recently done a course with SamCart, the Course Creation Challenge. I course that helps us create our own course that we can sell online. The Course is great, but the SamCart Website builder is even better. It makes it very easy to use and it looks great. We are looking forward to more sales in the future. We highly recommend SamCart!

The only downside is having multiple websites to make customers attend to.

Samcart is going to help me make more sales due to easier convertion. Since everything is in one site, it makes it easy for the customer to buy.

I have watched and followed other online course challenges. I would have to say I have gotten the most progress with SamCart. Scott is very specific about what to do in each stage of creating a course. Thanks to all the SamCart Team.

I didn't have any dislikes. Everything was great.

Getting my course online!

I love the community and the simplicity of the entire process. In addition, the training library and done for your resources to help you get started are great!

Some aspects of the one-page templates have been challenging to use. For example, after selecting a template, it is hard to change it to another one. I had had to start over because the new template, although chosen successfully, was not loading when I went to edit it in design mode, as the old one was still being displayed.

I am using SamCart to create courses. The Course Creation Challenge has helped me tremendously. I was trying to get started and kept getting stuck, and when I did complete a course, I discovered that they were some key components that were missing as a result of taking the challenge.

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.

I loved the enthusiasm that Scott Moran and the entire Samcart team convey in the presentation of the Samcart platform and the clear and concise steps that new eproduct clients can take to launch their very own e-business and take it to the next level. The Samcart platform is sufficiently complete and the information so valuable that it is all you need to construct your e-products and or e-business from A to Z... Really awesome!

Nothing really that I can think of at the moment... :)

The main problem I am solving is the organizational aspect of my e-product business and helping shorten the time it takes between a product idea and launch. The Samcart platform streamlines your workflow in such a way that things become very clear regarding the next steps you need to take to move your business forward and how to go about doing them in a straight forward uncomplicated manner with as few roadblocks as possible getting in the way. You can basically take care of all your e-business production with this single platform.

CreaterU niversity goes straight to the point &with the 14 days course creation challenge, I was finally able to get my first course going, With an investment of less than 50bucks. Before, I did spend thousands of EUROs for landing pages, sales funnel & copywriting - literally not required! The tool itself is super straightforward and accessible.

Not much to dislike - I hope that the loading performance of the pictures increases on the live plattform for my customers.

The biggest: To get me going from thinking to doing! The mountain in front of me: Step-by-step straight to the point without too much blabla and prep. time. Best of breed vs. one-stop-shop: No integrations, no complex coding - simple out-of-the-box one-stop-shop experience. Also, for me as a creator :D.

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.

The Samcart support team, especially Whitney and Chris, single-handedly helped me create and launch the beautiful product page. But the most important thing is that they did it with such care and support. Whitney, an account manager, consistently reached out to me to schedule time to support me with things I didn't even know I needed support with. In our time together she tagged in Chris to help me with some of the aesthetics of my launch page. They both genuinely cared that I was launch-ready and about my brand and product story. It means the world to me.

The online product platform can be tricky to navigate for first-timers to such software, but this is easily mitigated by their incredible customer support team.

I'm selling digital products and this has been the leanest platform for me to do that.

ALL THE FEATURES. The checkout designs, the recurring billing, the power to create new payment plans on the fly while on sales calls within seconds

Nothing actually comes to mind =) The team is great and the product is solid

Taking payments from global clients all over the world

It's very easy to set up upsells and bump offers. They also offer extraordinarily good training courses to teach you how to implement both.

The only thing that has slightly slowed me up is that there doesn't seem to be a way to integrate my customer tags with my email autoresponder. So if a customer adds an upsell to their order in SamCart, that new customer info doesn't get sent on to my Aweber list. But there may be a Zapier workaround that I haven't figured out yet...

I've realized that one-page funnels are the way to go when selling online and that's what SamCart does best.

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.
