Who Is SureCart For?

Each year we send all of our users a survey, so here are the 2024 results of who is using SureCart.

  • Agencies: Instead of passing on higher priced ecommerce projects due to the complexities, web agencies tell us that they are taking on more online store clients because SureCart is easy to set up and manage, and their clients love it
  • Physical Product Stores: Sellers love how easy it is to set up an online store, manage order fulfillment, and generate higher AOV with cart abandonment recovery, order bumps, and post purchase upsells
  • Sellling Subscriptions: Mostly coaching programs, course creators, membership websites, and SaaS companies that want advanced subscription management and retention features
  • Selling Services: Mostly web agencies, legal services, local businesses that sell via subscriptions, installment plans, and use setup fees
  • Digital Downloads: Ebooks, printables, creative work, and we are seeing an increase in WordPress software developers who are using our licensing system
  • Donations: Charities and causes that want to have flexible donation forms, but also be able to sell additional products

Traditional Storefront

Wanting to add a traditional online store to your websites?

This is where you have a shop page to showcase all of your products, product pages, cart, then checkout?

SureCart has all the features for selling products this way on your website. These include product variations, product collection, coupons, inventory tracking, shipping calculations, product fulfillment, product returns, and customer area.

Product Pricing Options

No other ecommerce plugin offers this depth of options on how to price your products.

SureCart’s unique approach to let you offer more than one price for a single product is a big reason why SureCart merchants sell more products.

Some of the pricing options include one-time payments, subscription payments, installemnt plans, free trials, paid trials, setup fees, setup discounts, and name your own price.

Most Advanced Subscription Plugin For WordPress

Selling subscriptions is easy to do, many form plugins, LMS plugins, membership plugins, ecommerce plugins do this.

But they only assist in selling the subscription and offer little to manage and retain the subscriber! That is where the profit is in selling subscriptions.

If you are using anything other than SureCart to sell subscriptions, you are likely paying higher payment processor fees and having higher churn.

Using SureCart Means Lower Fees

If you are selling subscriptions on Stripe using form plugins, membership plugins, online course plugins, SaaS platforms like ThriveCart, or any of these ways to sell subscriptions with Stripe…

You (the merchant) pay an extra 0.5% – 0.8% of every subscription transaction to Stripe? See Stripe Pricing

When you use SureCart you avoid all of these Stripe fees on subscriptions because we manage the subscription, we handle the invoices, and we can handle the auto payment retries.
This can save you huge amounts of money.

Please Note: Subscriptions are portable! We migrate WooCommerce merchants with active subscribers each week. It’s seamless, and the subscriber does not need to resubscribe.

Better Subscription Management & Retention With SureCart

SureCart has a suite of tools to manage subscriptions and reduce churn.

Selling subscriptions, the biggest source of churn is from failed payments. SureCart will automatically recover failed payments from your subscribers to keep them subscribed.

Your second source of churn is subscribers wanting to cancel. With SureCart’s Subscription Saver feature, you will have fewer cancelations and greater insights into why people cancel.

Additional features include subscription upgrades with proration, subscription downgrades, customers can change the payment method, you can reactivate a canceled subscription, you can pause a subscription, subscribers can change their form of payment to a different payment method, change payment dates, advanced email reminders before payments, and more.

These management and retention options are just not available elsewhere!

The Best WooCommerce Alternative

SureCart is the WooCommerce alternative WordPress users have been asking for!

We highly respect WooCommerce and how it has paved the way for adding an online store to WordPress. But it’s not ideal for everyone.

It would cost you $2,849 per year, per store, in WooCommerce add-ons to get the same features SureCart offers out of the box! And your store would be more prone to plugin conflicts, security vulnerabilities, constant updates required for each plugin, and a potentially slower website.

(These are reasons told to us by SureCart merchants that switched from WooCommerce)

There are cases where using WooCommerce may be the only choice for your store due to their deep ecosystem of paid add-ons and payment gateways if you have very specific requirements.

Where SureCart’s approach is different. Everything is built in, no add-on required. Everything is made easier, your site will run faster, we are there to support you, you are never alone.

SureCart Features

These are just some of the key features SureCart users love.

  • Complete EU Compliance:

  • Integrate & Automate:
    The most important part of an ecommerce platform is how it integrates with other plugins and external platforms. SureCart offers integrations with many WordPress plugins, so you can use SureCart for all of your ecommerce.

  • Seamless Scaling:
    With other ecommerce plugins, if you get an influx of buyers for that big sale or promotion, unless you have high-powered and high cost hosting, your website will be slow or worse, it will crash. Since SureCart is platform based, when you get an influx of new buyers, you have nothing to worry about because we take care of the scaling for you.

  • Real-time VAT & Sales Tax Calculations:
    Other ecommerce platforms let you integrate with expensive tax calculation services, usually costing $50 per month and up. Not with SureCart, we are fully integrated with TaxJar, and we pay for the calculations, so you don’t have to. And the setup is a breeze.

What Is Unique About SureCart?

SureCart was made to give WordPress users a better option for selling on their website. Currently most merchants use WooCommerce, which was made over 10 years ago for building big commerce stores like Amazon, Walmart, etc.

SureCart takes a different approach entirely. Made from the ground up to be ultra-high performance, look visually stunning, and be so easy to use that the most non-techie user will have no problem.

Everything can be visually customized to create a truly unique ecommerce experience.

SureCart also solves the technician problems that you run into with ecommerce plugins. They have performance problems or caching issues or something, it’s always something. Not with SureCart, we do all the heavy lifting on our servers to guarantee you a smooth operation, headache free, developer free.

The SureCart Difference

SureCart is fundamentally different from other WordPress ecommerce plugins that you may have tried, so it’s important to understand the differences.

Platform Based
There are two parts to SureCart, the platform, which is the Ecommerce engine, and the plugin.

The platform is built with the same technology that Shopify, Basecamp, GitHub, Twitter, Stripe and more use. These are all multi-billion dollar companies.

The plugin connects to the platform in real-time, taking all the load away from your website and onto our platform that was built and optimized for Ecommerce.

This way you get everything you want with none of the stuff you don’t want. SureCart will not slow down your website, it won’t bloat your database, it’s less likely to have plugin conflicts, and it’s made to work with your caching setup. But the real benefit here is you get assurance and peace of mind because you don’t have to worry about security, storage, or backups.
