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 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.
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.
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.

Seamlessly integrated with the tools that I'm using, there's no bureaucracy in submitting your products for approval. You are the owner, and you are in control Fair Business Model and Great Support
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.
It's not only very affordable, but it's extremely easy to use and has all the bells and whistles that other, higher-priced suites offer.
I honestly can't think of anything. I have used this software for several years and have never encountered a glitch or had to reach out to customer support.
I love the fact that I can integrate this with any payment processor and that it makes it easy and convenient to generate a link for my customers to pay me.
Intuitive and well organized. The software guides you from one step to the next until you are done. By the time you have set up a few products you get a good feel of what the software is capable of.
There are a few glitches or bugs when designing invoices or receipts.
I have been forced (in a good way) to think about how my customers see my products as a complete set and as individual products. For example, before Thrivecart, I had 10 different physical products in my web store. Now I have 3 main products (with upsells and downsells).
