Very poor business ethics and misleading deals A year ago, I bought a downloadable PDF from SamCart which did cost me $19. Little did I know that by doing so I signed up for an automatically yearly renewable membership subscription. Last month I got charged with $220 for a membership renewal - totally by surprise. I did not know I was a SamCart member nor did I received an email notification or anything telling me about a subscription renewal being due or that I would be charged $220 soon. Within a few hours after receiving the PayPal notification, I contacted SamCart’s support team explaining the mistake but without luck. Refund was denied. Given this experience, I would say SamCart is having terrible business ethics and highly misleading deal agreements. PayPal rejected the dispute telling me that I was in a binding billing agreement. The membership is of zero value to me but regardless my money was taken without warning.

Selling Made Easy I've used SamCart as my e-commerce shopping cart for over 8 years. I wanted an easy way to collect card payments, do invoicing, and sell my digital courses, coaching, and live events without learning all the tech. Over the years I've grown into many of the features that SamCart offers like, upsells, an affiliate center, and course creation that all come with SamCart Scale. With the "checkout anywhere" feature, I can now collect payment on my website, social media, and even in person! Everything flows with ease and my business is thriving because of SamCart! Plus SamCart integrated beautifully with my app, making it easy to have a membership app and training community. SamCarts customer service is amazing. They are friendly and help with customer support and tech issues.

Works for Me I use SamCart to support direct book sales. The site gives me the ability to easily sell to buyers throughout the country and collect payments. It was pretty easy to setup and has been easy to maintain. I feel that SamCart will continue to support my business well as my client base grows.

My $7 one off purchase is a $239 subscription - i wasn't told. --update-- At the end of this review I explained my alarm bells were ringing about the positive reviews. Upon further inspection, one of these suspect reviews has been posted by one of the founders pretending to be a happy customer but failing to hide his name - Scott Moran. He and his brother are the founders of this business, NOT customers with positive experiences to share. Be very careful everyone. --------------------- After checking the reviews i have seen that many people have been signed up to a subscription without their knowledge. I have just checked my account to see whether these claims are true and I can see they will be taking $239 in April 2025 - this for me verifies the complaints made over any claims from the business. To make it very clear: there was nothing to inform me of this, and if I hadn't checked my account to validate what others are saying I would be in the same boat as other customers. I was offered a $7 deal with no mention of a recurring annual subscription. I have looked at the option to cancel this subscription but this will then apparently deactivate the CreatorU account. You are forced to watch a video before being able to deactivate your account. I have held off while I exploit the available resources over the next day, and take whatever I can from them as this seems to be their strategy employed on all of us. I signed up for a 5-day course creator challenge, the materials appear to have been made without due care and attention - e.g. the pdf on chatGPT prompts has pre-written prompt templates, but if you look carefully the prompts in steps 2,3 and 4 (out of 4) are missing the end of the prompts and are therefore incomplete, which in my mind removes a lot of value and implies they are focussing on making money without focusing on providing high-quality materials. Further to this, the most recent reviews seem false and have set my alarm bells ringing. I am inclined to suggest that these are false claims.

Couldn't run my business without it. Couldn't run my course/coaching business without it. 1-Click upsells are 20-30% of our revenue. No other payment processor could do it, other than Samcart. I recommend it to any coach or creator. Awesome support too.
