I’ve always used a third-party shopping cart/payment processor (Clickbank) for my sites, but I want to set up my own cart on each site so I can better track drop-offs through my funnels.
My sites are built on Wordpress, and have many pages of blog content. All of my purchase funnels contain upsells and downsells, and some of my products are accessed via a membership login.
So I’m looking for a shopping cart that:
Easily integrates with AC, Wordpress, and membership sites
Supports one-click upsells/downsells
Integrates with a Canadian payment processor (I’m based in Canada)
Can anyone recommend a good shopping cart that meets all of these criteria?
P.S. Since I’ve always used Clickbank on my sites, I’m completely new to how on-site shopping carts and payment processors work. If I’m missing anything, would appreciate advice!
I would check out SamCart or ActiveWoo - both easily integrate with our platform and WordPress. Both support Stripe which is availible in Canada.
If you would like more data-points associated with your purchases, check out Revenue Conduit. It supports integration with WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, and Shopify.
Let me know if you have any more questions! Happy to help
@Barry_Moore (aka @Barry ) has great things to say about EDIT: SamCart. I haven’t used it, but he did a screen share and it appears to be a nice, tight integration (beyond just lists and tags).
I’ve looked at the suggestions, and Samcart seems the most promising (because - among other things - it integrates with OptimizePress, my membership site plugin).
SamCart has the best integration with AC that I have seen so far. Just be aware they hold recurring credit card payments on the SamCart side rather than the payment processor side. So if you ever change carts you will need to get all your recurring customers to sign up again.
MoonClerk is good for getting a payment page up and running quickly, Send Owl is also worth a look.
Very much depends on what you need it to do and what else you need it to interact with.
Thanks for the info, @Barry. I’ve never heard of a shopping cart holding recurring credit card payments on their side. That makes me a little nervous.
As mentioned, I want the shopping cart to interact with AC, Wordpress, OptimizePress, and a Canadian payment processor (e.g. Stripe). I also want the cart to have one-click upsells. It looks like SamCart does all of that.
I like the fact that SamCart was built by online marketers (as opposed to techies).
If you have any other tips/advice/hidden facts about SamCart, I’d appreciate hearing them.
They integrate with activecampaign but not sure if they integrate with membership websites.
They will allow you to do visual funnel building.
Also they have upgrade where you will be able to see a lot info about your customers, like age, interests etc.
We just launched last week and our users are loving us already
We currently have the deepest integration with ActiveCampaign for payment platforms, you can check out our current integration list here on another forum post:
We support Canada with processing all user payments via Stripe.
At this stage we don’t have one click upsells but you can have a sneak peak on our road map here:
I hope this helps in choosing the right platform for you.
@activerelay - looks interesting, Dan. But the lack of 1-click upsells is a deal-breaker for me. I wouldn’t have a business were it not for 1-click upsells. I’d be interested to look at your service again once that’s implemented.
Also, I’m trialling Samcart right now, and it’s awesome. Dead-simple to add products, create upsells, etc., and they integrate with AC. I suspect they’ll be one of your main competitors, so you should check them out.
I’ll +1 ActiveRelay. I’m really impressed with it’s flexibility and functionality. Always good to get in at the start with a product like this to grow with it and suggest features along the way.
