We didn&#8217;t have one so I decided to publish one :-). SPC is a shopping cart plugin for WordPress. SamCart is a Shopping Cart Platform. Other than the similarity in their names (and both are cart platforms), not much is common between SmartPayCart and SamCart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>SmartPayCart (SPC)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">SmartPayCart (SPC) is a WordPress plugin.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">SPC is built specifically for <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/\" style=\"outline: none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DigitalAccessPass (DAP)<\/a>. So if you use DAP as your membership plugin, SPC is easily the best shopping cart option. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Pricing: <span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">SPC is FREE with both DAP platinum and elite packages. And DAP elite\/platinum packages cost way less than SamCart. DAP is one of the best membership plugins for WordPress.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Better Support: Both SPC and DAP are our plugins. So you don&#8217;t have to deal with 2 different support teams for SPC and DAP issues. My team handles both. You&#8217;ll never have to deal with bad support when you use any of our products.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">SPC does not hold on to your subscriptions. SPC uses payment processors such as PayPal, Stripe and Authnet to manage subscriptions. Even if you stop using SPC, you won&#8217;t lose your active member subscriptions.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>SamCart<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\">                    <span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">SamCart is a SaaS platform.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\">                    <span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">SamCart integrates with our Membership Plugin &#8211; DigitalAccessPass.com but there are some limitations with this integration.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\">                    <span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">SamCart&#8217;s basic package costs $49\/mo (and that includes SamCart branding). You can check current pricing on their site.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\">                    <span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">We offer support for SamCart -&gt; DAP integration issues but it&#8217;s not as easy to troubleshoot issues with an external shopping cart platform as it is with a cart platform created and supported by us.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\">                    <span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">From what I understand, SamCart stores and controls your subscriptions. You stop using SamCart, you may have to get your users to subscribe again. Or manually add a subscription in your payment processor. But you may want to confirm this with SamCart.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">I don&#8217;t have anything negative to say about SamCart. I&#8217;m sure there are a lot of cool things you can do using SamCart.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">I&#8217;ve never used SamCart to sell my products or services. Instead of focusing on the difference between the 2 platforms and what each platform can or cannot do, I&#8217;m going to list SPC&#8217;s unique features.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Multiple Order Bumps: &nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">You can offer not just one but multiple \u201corder bumps\u201d on your checkout page. From what I know, you cannot do this with any other cart plugins. Many SPC\u2019ers have benefited from this feature where they are able to double their order value with order bump offers.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Free Membership Trial as an Order Bump: <span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">You can offer a \u201cFree Membership Trial\u201d as an Order Bump. Again, this is very unique to SPC. Most cart plugins don\u2019t support \u2018free trial\u2019 order bumps.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Automated Login:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;Your users will be automatically logged-in to the membership when they purchase your product. They don\u2019t have to wait for a welcome email to login. They can instantly access your product.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Visual Funnel Builder:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;It comes with a unique \u201cVisual Funnel Builder\u201d that\u2019ll allow you to build all types of sales funnel (unlimited 1-click upsells and downsells), no matter how complex it is, with the click of a few buttons.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">1-Click Members-Area:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;You can also offer \u201c1-Click Members-Area\u201d upsell with Stripe.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">All types of payment buttons:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;You can create many different types of buttons &#8211; buy now, add-to-cart, donation, netflix-style-pay-per-post, pay-using-credits, pay-what-you-want, an instant storefront with your products, and so much more.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Storefront:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;You can create an instant storefront using SPC. It&#8217;s fully customizable in the backend.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Netflix-style Pay-Per-Post:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;You can create a buy\/rent button and allow users to purchase individual pieces of content such as audio, video, WordPress content, PDF files, etc, without having to create a product for each. You can also create a store for your content!&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Donation:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;You can create a donation \/ pay-what-you-want button using SPC. You can also set a minimum amount.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Most advanced checkout page builder:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;SPC comes with a very advanced drag\/drop, click\/edit checkout page builder that will allow you to create a fully customized look for your checkout. See video below.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">2-Step Order form:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;SPC also supports 2-step order forms (similar to ClickFunnels but with more customization options). <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalaccesspass.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/how-to-create-a-high-converting-checkout-page-to-sell-your-books\/\" style=\"outline: none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch this video<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"> to see it works.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Failed Payment Management:<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;SPC supports full-fledged dunning management. Your users can update their credit card and billing info on your site. They can self-cancel their subscription. They can also pause and resume their subscription. You can also setup automated emails that gets sent to your users when a subscription payment fails for any reason.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> A must-watch video for anyone looking to create a high-converting checkout form!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Drag and drop your way to a beautiful checkout page layout, WOW your buyers, help convert visitors into customers &amp; increase your Average Transaction Value!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A New Template<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve added an awesome new 2-column, drag\/drop template to the SPC checkout template collection!
