What is SamCart?

SamCart is a specialized e-commerce platform focused on optimizing the checkout experience and maximizing revenue for online businesses. Founded in 2014, SamCart specializes in creating high-converting checkout experiences that can be embedded anywhere, making it particularly relevant for coaches who want to optimize their sales process.

The platform solves the critical challenge of converting visitors into paying clients at the moment of purchase. Instead of losing potential clients to complicated checkout processes, coaches can create frictionless payment experiences with powerful revenue-boosting features like one-click upsells and order bumps.

Who is it for?

SamCart is designed for established coaches with existing traffic sources who prioritize sales optimization over all-in-one functionality. The typical user is a growth-focused coach who has validated their offer and wants to scale through optimized sales processes rather than community building.

The platform works best for coaches selling defined products or packages with clear pricing, using hybrid business models that combine one-on-one coaching with scalable digital products. These coaches are comfortable building a tech stack of complementary tools rather than seeking a single solution.
