ThriveCart is a hosted shopping cart platform that was designed to make selling products and services online easy. It’s perfect for marketers with its bump offers and integrated affiliate platform.
ThriveCart is drop-dead easy to use for most features. When it comes time to integrate with external systems, there is a bit more to wrap your head around.
Because of its lifetime pricing, ThriveCart is an incredible deal. Other systems cost the same but per year, where you get the entire platform for life.
Support is pretty on top of things. All my support requests have been fulfilled fast and in a personal / friendly manner.
Being that ThriveCart is a closed platform, you are dependent on them to create any integrations that you may want or need. So you are going to want to use a payment gateway and email platform that they support to get the most out of the platform.
Since ThriveCart was released in 2016, the interface has not been overhauled, but the platform is constantly updated.
Even though it has a dated interface, the platform is rock solid in so easy to use.
There are currently no active ThriveCart Coupon or ThriveCart Discounts available. However, if you do purchase ThriveCart through the link on this website, I will give you access to one of my premium training course which normally sells for $199.
ThriveCart is a great platform and thousands of people are using in their business. You can’t argue that the 1 time $495 cost is a great deal, especially when you compare it to other platforms with the same feature set but cost hundreds per month.

Adam,
Is there any plugin available for WordPress?
Thanks in advance.
Yes you should check out CartFlows.
Hi Adam! Thanks for this insightful review. I’m wondering though where the digital products are uploaded for clients to download. Or do they have to be downloaded by means of redirecting to a URL? I see the 3 options for what happens after purchase, but none is “download page” or “download product”, is it?
Yea ThriveCart doesn’t have digital delivery unfortunately. Would have to be delivered via your email marketing platform or some form of a membership plugin.
Hey Adam, we appreciate the review of the platform!
Could you please get in touch regarding a few inaccuracies so we can have the chance to correct them.
For example, you state ThriveCart was released in 2013 and that the interface has not been updated since. ThriveCart was released in 2016, not 2013 and to date, we have updated the interface 10+ times.
Please reach out directly so we can make sure any inaccuracies are updated. Thanks again for the review!

Updated here. I did update that on the video over on YouTube, but it slipped my mind that it was here as well.
Thrivecart doesn’t work like a regular cart, right? This makes it nothing like WooCommerce or East Cart, etc. Right?
For instance, it looks like you cannot add multiple items from a store, or add physical and digital items together and then get a cart total. Or, it looks like it doesn’t seem to be able to handle different options of an item (i.e., for example if you offer a t-shirt in three colors and three sizes) there is no way to put say, (2) small red shirts and (1) large blue shirt in the cart. Then pay.
Am I missing something?
You are correct, it doesn’t work the same. It’s more of a single item cart. That being said, I am releasing CartFlows on November 19th, 2018 and with it, you will be able to have full control over the WooCommerce checkout.
That sounds interesting, is it a plugin or a service, how about pricing (one time or monthly)? Thank you.
ThriveCart is currently a lifetime deal meaning you buy it once in your account is good for as long as the services online.
