ThriveCart offers you a great shopping cart solution that includes options for upsells and downsells, along with a robust affiliate management system that makes it easy to manage all aspects of an affliate program.
This might be "a little" specific but ThriveCart's Drip integration only allows you to add a single Drip account. That's disappointing. I realize that there's an option for adding an HTML form but that's a little limiting, so I use Zapier, which is great but I don't think I should have to.
ThriveCart offers a combination of features that I haven't found in other shopping cart solutions. From bump offers and multiple upsell/downsell options to a wide range of integrations and affiliate management, it offers value that's well in excess of its price. They have also introduced many new features over the years to keep ahead of competing solutions.
I bought ThriveCart 2 years ago because I needed a professional check-out cart for services/digital products and the selling point was truly their one-time fee. I really like how it's so easy to set up once I get through everything, and it's very much a step-by-step process. I needed it to charge in different currencies and ThriveCart connected to Stripe and Paypal with no issues. My checkout page is now a beautiful page I've loaded with testimonials and a very easy input process for the customer.
Their "big" update has been due months ago and it's March 2023 at the time of this review and there's still no word. They also don't exactly update their users about new features despite having "We have many new features planned" on their website... I've been using ThriveCart for more than 2 years and I've never gotten updated. I've been waiting for them to add the ability to add more than one bump offer to the checkout page. Also, I wish the button that a customer clicks to buy an upsell can be duplicated a few times on the upsell page without interrupting the loading of a page... a few customers have been stuck on the upsell page which cost me sales. I also really dislike how prices are presented... the section where it says "Total payment" is of a small font size in grey which cannot be adjusted, and it says "All prices in USD" in incredibly tiny text. As I sell internationally, I want to remind people that they are paying in USD, so just stating the price as "US$47" would be great. When I have split payments or 3-mth subscriptions, it allows a customer to hover over the "Future payments" area and totals up their payments. I really would rather not have that, no one wants to be reminded of how much more they are actually paying over the months. I would rather have the text be "3 Monthly Payments of $47" and then the main text be something like "TODAY'S PAYMENT: $47" and "Then 2 additional monthly payments of $47" in smaller font size.
It's providing me with a robust, sleek, professional and beautiful checkout page that collects payments in Google Pay, Stripe and Paypal, while connecting my new customers to ConvertKit and Thrive Themes Apprentice. The process has been a smooth transition, which I appreciate, just some coding errors that cause customers to be stuck at the upsell.
ThriveCart is by far the easiest standalone cart platform to roll out. Within minutes you can have a fully functioning cart for subscription products including payment integrations, landing pages, and key features like upsells and bump offers.
While the subscription offering is powerful, it does have some quirky things that I think should be addressed. Primarily, with subscription services, you can't change the price on existing subscriptions and have it noted on the client's invoice. Those changes have to be done in your payment processor.
We use ThriveCart to manage subscriptions for our website clients. We've saved a lot of time by utilizing ThriveCart's simple setup and reporting features to let us know how we're doing.
I purchased ThriveCart for a one-time fee and I was skeptical at first due to it being so affordable compared to the other shopping cart options out there. It has beyond exceeded my expectations. The user interface is easy and intuitive, the layout makes for flexibility and a great customer experience. The options for payment processors, upsells, downsells, bumps... they are easy and effective. After implementing Thrivecart I saw my conversions increase 2000% (was using woocommerce at the time)
I would like to see a better Facebook pixel tracking integration, it's difficult to 100% accurately track sales, upsells, bumps, etc. I do not like that the invoice has a download purchase button that I haven't been able to remove.
I was struggling with creating a streamlined, user friendly check out experience with upsell and bump options and ThriveCart offers it. It's professional looking and it works. There's flexibility with design, but it doesn't overcomplicate the design process.
ThriveCart is fairly intuitive and easy to use. It connects seamlessly to multiple third-party services (such as payment gates, email autoresponders, etc.), making setting up automated sales pages relatively simple. I have purchased ThriveCart twice – for two independent businesses. I use Thrivecart every month and rely on its simple integration tools to generate income for my businesses. Since buying, numerous significant upgrades have made the lifetime purchase option a great investment. The platform keeps getting better.
It can sometimes be clunky. When multiple similar products and services exist, it is not always easy to locate the correct links. I'd love to see some best-practice tips to make the most of the platform. Although I use it regularly, I am barely scratching the surface of its capabilities, and I know I am likely leaving money on the table simply because I don't have the best workflows. However, that is a me problem, not a them problem.
It makes life easier for my customers when purchasing products and services – particularly when selling en-masse. The platform links seamlessly to Stripe, PayPal, GooglePay and ApplePay, giving customers multiple ways to pay. It also offers many customisation options for payment plans, upsells, and more.
I purchased ThriveCart for it's shopping cart capabilities, which I use and love, PLUS I was able to give up my course platform and use the Learn feature included with ThriveCart. It's more intuitive to use and looks a lot nicer than my previous course platform!
I wish that customers could purchase multiple items at once instead of having to make separate purchases.
It provides an easy, quick, and effective way to sell one-time and subscription products and services. I also use the Learn feature for my online course delivery.
Thrivecart is easy to use on our end, and it's easy to integrate.
I wish we could integrate physical products a bit easier, without having to charge extra shipping fees etc.
Putting all our commerce in one spot and simplifying returns and our recurring payments.
It's super simple to setup checkout pages and link to your payment processor and email source
The learn course function could use some improvements, but its super new. Would be great to have more email connections other than convertkit too.
Using multiple platforms for payments and course materials. Having it all in one place saves money. Especially with the one time fee
