How Thrivecart increased my business profits by over 40%
Since I started using Thrivecart for my online business, my business profits have increased by over 40%! Because of Thrivecart, I’ve not only made more money but also saved thousands of dollars in the process!
In this episode, I’m going to share why I recommend Thrivecart both as a checkout software and course hosting platform and how you can use it to make (& save) more money in your own business.

3 reasons I recommend adding Thrivecart to your business tech suite
Honestly, thrivecart really is an all-rounder! If I was to go into every single feature, we would be here for hours! So in this blog post, I’m going to share the top 3 reasons I love Thrivecart and why you might consider investing in this piece of software for your own business.
1. THERE'S NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION - PAY ONCE & GET A LIFETIME LICENSE
Unlike every other checkout or course hosting software out there, Thrivecart offers a one-time payment lifetime plan which means that you pay for their platform once and never have to pay another penny. This is almost unheard of in the online space!
This alone has saved me thousands of dollars over the past few years and given me so much peace of mind knowing that it's always available and I'm never going to get a nasty invoice when I check my inbox.
And the great thing about this is that if you’re using Thrivecart Learn (which is what they call their course hosting platform) to host your digital products and courses, and then one day you decide you want to retire some of your products, or close down your business altogether, you don’t have to worry about how to go about it. Your students will still have access to everything they were promised and you won’t be paying for the upkeep.
2. THERE ARE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO PICK UP EXTRA CASH DURING THE CHECKOUT PROCESS
Thrivecart is a professional checkout software that your clients will likely already recognise and trust. On top of that, there are so many ways to increase your average order value and upsell your customers, without you having to do any extra work.
I’m going to talk to you about 2 of my favourite ways right now…
1. ORDER BUMPS
An order bump gives the buyer an opportunity to add an extra offer to their purchase during the checkout process. It’s usually a low-cost offer that directly compliments the main offer, and that doesn’t require a lot of thought before purchasing.
Let’s say someone is purchasing your $97 mini course. They come to the checkout and see your $37 order bump, decide that this is something they need and so they add it to the cart making the order value rise from $97 to $134.
Not everyone is going to opt in for your order bump, but a lot of people do and it’s such a great opportunity to increase sales and pick up some extra cash at the checkout.
2. ONE-CLICK UPSELLS
Thrivecart gives you the ability to upsell your prospects after they purchase your initial offer. So once someone has entered their email and credit card details for one offer, you can then set up a one-click upsell, which means that they will then be taken to a page that will give them the opportunity to add something else to their order.
They’ve already entered their information on the first page so all they have to do is click “yes, I want to add this to my order” and it’s theirs!
CHECKOUT EXAMPLE WITH ORDER BUMPS & UPSELL OFFERS
Now that you know both what an order bump and one-click upsell are, let me give you an example of how this entire funnel might work from start to finish.
Let’s say the customer is buying an online course on how to launch a podcast. This course is $500. They get to the checkout and see that they can add a podcast promo resource vault that contains Canva templates, email copy, episode ideas and other things that are going to help them market their podcast after they’ve launched. So, they decide to add this to their order for an extra $97. They enter their information and checkout. Now, they’ve purchased both of those things for $600.
But then, they’re taken to an upsell page that offers them a podcast launch strategy call with the creator of the course and they can add this to their order for $200. Now, this person is thinking “actually, a call could really help me plan more strategically and get some 1:1 support” so they add this to their purchase!
What started off as a $500 sale has turned into an $800 sale… giving you an extra $300 simply because you offered something extra. This is the power of sales funnels. They allow you to easily increase your profit margins and add additional revenue to your business, without having to find more clients. And Thrivecart allows you to do all of this really easily!
3. HOST UNLIMITED COURSES & DIGITAL PRODUCTS FOR FREE WITH THRIVECART LEARN
You can create unlimited online courses & digital products right inside of ThriveCart, customize them to fit your brand, and instantly provide access to customers when they purchase.
I know there are some platforms out there, thinking about Kajabi mainly, that only let you have a certain amount of products before you have to upgrade your plan and pay even more. Kajabis basic plan (as of 2023) lets you have 3 products at $149/mo. If you want to add more products then you’ll be paying $200, up to $400 a month depending on how many you need.
In my opinion, Thrivecart definitely wins in that sense because, like we mentioned earlier, you pay that one-off fee and then you can have like 100 different products if you want to and you’ll never incur any extra costs.
The one downside that I will mention is that Thrivecart Learn doesn’t support video hosting, which means that you have to host your videos elsewhere and then embed them into Thrivecart. But, if you’re already using a platform like Loom or Vimeo then you can easily continue to use that and just embed your videos.
I have also seen some people uploading their videos as unlisted to YouTube and embedding them that way, or with Google Drive as well so if you’re looking for a free way to host your videos then there are a couple of options!
But other than that, Thrivecart Learn is extremely customizable, you can really make it your own and there are (at the time of recording) 3 different layouts that you can choose from which I really love…
And, again, there's no monthly subscription!!
Take advantage of Thrivecart's lifetime deal
So these are the 3 main reasons I love Thrivecart and why I would recommend them to pretty much any online business owner.
To recap…
You pay once and get lifetime access to the software, so no recurring subscriptions
They have a trusted and extremely robust checkout software that allows you to add order bumps and upsells to pick up extra cash during the checkout process
Thrivecart Learn allows you to host an unlimited amount of digital products and courses for free
