As someone who has dabbled in just about every platform under the sun for selling digital products, courses, and memberships, I know how overwhelming it can be to find the right checkout and cart solution. There are dozens of platforms out there—some too clunky, others missing essential features, and many that nickel-and-dime you to death with monthly fees.

A few months ago, I quietly made the switch back to ThriveCart Pro+. I didn’t write about it right away because I wanted to see how it held up in real-world use. Now that I’ve been using it for a while, I can confidently say: this was one of the best backend decisions I’ve made for my business.

Here’s why:

1. It’s Built for Selling—Period.

While many platforms try to be everything to everyone, ThriveCart is laser-focused on conversions. The checkout pages are optimized out of the box, and honestly, they just work. No more Frankenstein-ing together a Stripe form, Zapier workflow, and a redirect page. Everything from upsells to bump offers to A/B testing is built-in and intuitive.

I didn’t need to hire a developer or spend hours watching tutorials—setup was fast, clean, and dare I say… kind of fun?

2. No Monthly Fees (Really)

This one blew my mind.

ThriveCart offers a lifetime license. It’s not a subscription. I paid once, and that’s it. If you’ve ever added up what you’re spending on tools like SamCart, Kajabi, or ClickFunnels, the math starts to look really attractive. Plus, with the Pro+ upgrade, I got access to their affiliate management system, JV contracts, and advanced user permissions—all things I didn’t even know I needed until I had them.

3. My Courses and Memberships? Covered.

I thought I’d need to keep my existing course platform, but ThriveCart has its own learning management system called Learn+ included. It’s simple, sleek, and fully integrated. For people who sell digital products, coaching, or run memberships, it’s more than enough to deliver a polished user experience.

I moved one of my smaller courses into ThriveCart Learn+ as a test—and now I’m moving everything.

4. It Plays Nicely With Others

Whether you use ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, MailerLite, or something else, ThriveCart integrates with it. I didn’t need to rip out my tech stack—ThriveCart just fit into what I already had. I was able to set up automations and tagging based on purchases and behavior with just a few clicks.

Also, if you’re into analytics (or just want your Facebook Pixel to work properly), ThriveCart supports deep data tracking and custom scripts.

5. Support That Doesn’t Make You Want to Scream

I’ve submitted a few support tickets, and every time I’ve gotten thoughtful, human responses. Not canned replies. Not “we’ll get back to you in 72 hours.” Real help, quickly. That goes a long way these days.

Final Thoughts

I’m not saying ThriveCart is the only solution out there—but I will say it’s the first one that’s made me stop shopping around. If you’re building digital products, selling services, or want a better way to manage your checkout flow without getting locked into monthly fees, it’s absolutely worth a look.
