1ShoppingCart vs. ThriveCart

Right now it isn't well suited for anything [in my opinion]. It is not being maintained and many of the important functions one got it for in the first place simply do not work and no one is doing anything about it. A number of my colleagues use it too and we are all looking for an alternative. I'd never recommended it to anyone and have steered clients and colleagues away from it.

ThriveCart is a great platform and product for entreprenuers looking to easily and effortlessly incorporate digital products into their suite. One of our favorite features is that we can do a sales page AND a checkout page all in one, on one single page. It's streamlined and clean and effective. The aesthetics are also solid.

• Managing your list - It is easy to set up separate lists and create opt in forms for each one. It allows multiple opt in forms with customized messages for all steps of the opt in process.
• Ecommerce - Setup of your product or service is easy. You can use buy now type buttons on the 1ShoppingCart store. Integration with your merchant account or Paypal is offered.
• Includes an affiliate management option. This module allows you to manage an affiliate with custom links and an area to post materials for affiliates to use - such as banners.

• The UI needs improvement. There are other systems out there that are more intuitive.
• Customizing/branding a shopping cart page can be a little tricky - when it should be very simple.

If I were in charge of the renewal decision I would really take a look at 1SC vs. Infusionsoft. There are many ways each are great and many ways they are different. I would look at what was best for my company and make the choice accordingly. I find that Infusionsoft has many more ways to intuitively market, segment and cultivate new leads and grow the business as a whole than 1SC currently has.

I gave ThriveCart the rating of a ten for overall usability because it's perfect for someone who is not tech savvy at all and has been very easy to use, figure out and navigate. I've been able to get things live and up and running in a single day. Not days or week or months. It's really a great option for selling digital products!

Why can't I give it a MINUS 1 million??? There is effectively no support.

For this group, cost was a big indictor and reason why we decided to go with 1ShoppingCart. We wanted a solution that would lower our Dev costs (it somewhat did), but did not require the up front costs that a Shopify would need to transport our entire website experience to a new platform. 1ShoppingCart did what we needed it to do and made our checkout process that much cleaner!

• Better customer service would be helpful, as previously stated if needed to have the customer service calls not be a fee based call and instead included in the price and not an "add on" cost.
• Just having the ability to connect 1shoppingCart with other systems, such as Wordpress and LeadPages helps to connect all the dots to my sales pages.
