CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "After 4 years and $1.25 Million in Sales Online... this is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR." July 14, 2021 5.0 Pros This payment and checkout solution is a leagues above anything else out there. I've used JVZoo and other platforms for years and they are not terrible, but the 5% fees add up and there are a lot of frustrating aspects. PayKickStart is a breath of fresh air. Zero transaction fees gorgeous checkouts, great ease of use and wonderful experience for us AND our customers. Easy as pie to take orders manually and set up custom down-payments and payment plans on an individual basis (which means you get deals you otherwise wouldn't have closed!!) Closed around $21,000 in deals in just one week with awesome checkout conversion rates and ZERO issues. Moreover... their chat support is out of this world. Their reps answer very quickly and it's clear they know the product like the back of their hand. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and his team have created something truly game-changing here and I think EVERY online business owner needs to be using this. Cons Checkouts are VERY customizable, but I would like to see even more customizability in the future. Reason for choosing PayKickstart ThriveCart did not have as much flexibility when it came to handling upsells and funnel pages etc. and also I've bought other solutions from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] for about 8 years and know from personal experience as a customer of his that his software solutions and support team are fantastic.

CEO Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PayKickstart is the engine of my business" March 5, 2019 5.0 I started out with Kartra (I love those guys), but they couldn't handle VAT properly. I see this a lot with American software developers. They generally don't understand how the EU works. Then switched to PayKickstart and helped them get this VAT thing right. Which they did. And fast. I love that they listen to their customers and actually implement the suggestions. I know there's always more ideas and requests than the development team can handle, but they make good progress. So I'm glad I switched and I look forward to all the improvements that are on the roadmap. If you want to set up elaborate funnels and upsell sequences, it's a lot of work. Also to get it right in PK. But, once you find your way in the UI and understand how things work, you get faster and faster at it. Did I say the support is excellent? If not, I'll say it again: their support is excellent :-) Pros \- GDPR compliant - Built in VAT processing (important for EU customers and vendors) - One-click upsells - Lot's of checkout templates both hosted and embeddable - Multilingual checkout and email notifications - Automated retries for failed payments - API / IPN - Excellent support - Friendly people - Actual implementation of most feature requests Cons It's a work in progress, so there are always things users would wish were already in the software. For me, I would like to see the VAT on the invoices (they're already working on that). I would like to see an option for duplicating funnels and campaigns. And more branding options for the affiliate signup. Now what are supposed to be 'my' affiliates become a PK affiliate and may choose to promote my offers (as well as other companies' offers). I would like to see this more brandable. But no showstoppers here. Review Source David S. CEO Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Productivity Tool" August 12, 2019 5.0 Overall our company has been very pleased with PayKickStart and will recommend it over the other major platforms that are comparable... Pros I like how easy it is to navigate and set up to use as a vendor, and as an affiliate, the platform works flawlessly as well. It is a great platform that just keeps getting better. It is easier to use than JVZoo, Warrior Plus, or Clickbank... It is also cheaper for you as a vendor, you only pay a monthly fee to list your products, and you can save a lot of money if you are selling a lot of products online. The affiliates that work with us also like the platform as they can easily see where they stand in regards to their promotions and commission. Cons So far there is nothing not to like, and this is after using the platform since it's inception. It has only gotten better, and the developers are on top of making constant improvements to it all the time. Review Source aV aleksander V.

I never have to touch it and it just keeps my business running. Cons The current % fee for new users might cause new potential users to shy away. Review Source Samuel M. Data Analyst. Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PayKickstart ups and downs." January 20, 2023 5.0 I believe the platform will only get better because I am aware that the company has a ton of brand-new, exciting features planned for release in the near future. Pros This is a solid, effective conversion-focused solution. Fantastic for online marketers. Cons I've got some sales that are logged, but I don't get paid for them. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Office Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Keep your affiliate program running smooth!" July 13, 2020 4.0 Overall I enjoy using PayKickstart and will continue to recommend this to others. Pros I enjoyed PayKickstart's way of managing an affiliate program and organizing your shopping cart to keep all your clients and affiliates running smoothly. Cons Certain glitches within this software can make it very frustrating to use and customer service can sometimes give you the run around. Review Source KG Keith G. Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best bang for the buck - full featured and a powerhouse" January 24, 2019 5.0 Pros Price point beats most competitor platforms. Offers many options to override settings on an affiliate and product basis - This is very important for my business. Custom affiliate link creation feature - also important to my business. Easy to use sales funnel builder with a robust array of settings. Customizable checkout pages - easy to use builder with pro templates. Constant improvement on existing features, most importantly the Reports feature. Cons Some of the user flows on certain features can be a little confusing, but not a show stopper. They offer a decent knowledge base and support is solid. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Choice for Our SAAS" March 8, 2019 5.0 Support is outstanding. Integration with your custom solution is easy with their API. Ability to use Zapier also very easy. Always adding features. Pros The ease of use when integrating with our SAAS was fantastic. We got an all-in-one solution for payment processing, member management, affiliate/vendor relations, and sales funnel structure. The API was very easy. Reporting is exactly what we needed. Cons Had some trouble with integration of a different 3rd-party system, but customer support was diligent in fixing it. Prefer a proactive alert system for paying affiliates, but reports show what's outstanding so its not that much of a problem. Review Source SV Stefan V. CEO Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Best Payment Platform Ive Used" March 4, 2019 5.0 10/10 nothing short of pure awesomeness. Some of the best customer support I’ve experienced. A platform designed by people who actually know what they are doing, what the market needs. Can’t wait to see what they have coming! Pros It has all the features and advanced features a vendor can possibly wish for. I like checkout forms, the 1clickupsells, and everything is highly customizeable! Ill be running with PK for the next years for sure! Cons UX wise it can have a few optimizations. Some actions could probably be done in less clicks. That’s my only concern. Previously it was also the Reporting feature - but they pushed out massive update. VAT feature also needed updating, and that is in development right now. Amazing team and awesome customer support!

CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Very Good Software" July 6, 2021 5.0 I had a good experience overall Pros I have this software and it helps a lot with management and billing stuff. Have personally used for 6 months and really good to use with multiple features of billing, recurring and management. Cons It could be better if it could track funnel payments and help with tracking of end point payments. That would be really better if it could even track sales from Facebook channels by pixel tracking. Review Source JH Jeremy H. Director of Product Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent experience so far (~1 year)" March 7, 2019 5.0 We're very demanding with cart software. We've tested everything (clickfunnels, infusionsoft, clickbank, samcart, and several others). We run a high volume of transactions (and pretty high in $$). Plus, we need to be able to customize the cart significantly. So far, we haven't found anything that works nearly as well as Paykickstart. If you're not as demanding of your cart, it might not be as big of a difference, but outside of enterprise software, Paykickstart does everything we could ask. Pros Great support; very easy to implement and customize. We've been able to match or exceed cart conversion rates on every other platform (Shopify, etc.). Cons No built-in integration for google analytics enhanced e-commerce (having an automatically populated data layer would be awesome). No IPv6 tracking. Review Source VG Viktor G. Chief Software Architect E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "More than doubled our checkout conversions" April 3, 2020 5.0 The PayKickstart support team is the best. They are always there to steer you in the right direction. Pros The simple checkout pages more than doubled our sales conversions over our custom pages we built in house. Cons It does not have the ability to 'pay what you want', nor the ability to combine flat rate or monthly in a single product. Review Source CT Cora T. Entrepreneur Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Asset For Your Business " August 14, 2019 5.0 Super beneficial for my website also customer service is very helpful. Pros Super easy to navigate and works well for my website. Cons We have had a couple issues with recurring memberships duplicating an order for the next month.

March 13, 2019 5.0 You only need a few of the features inside to start with. But, you'll be super grateful you set it up when your business starts to grow, as it has everything you need inside. Pros This gives you complete flexibility over your sales funnels and affiliates. It's now our go to tool. We now recommend to our clients that they only use Funnel builders for their pages and PK for everything else. Cons I wish it built pages as we'll, if it could I wouldn't need anything else.

Writer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PayKickstart review" April 14, 2019 4.0 I like using PayKickstart, I finf it simple and helpful, they also offer courses to read through to give an affiliate some guidance on topics related to the marketing world, including the use of social media sites like Facebook. Pros It's easy to copy my affiliate links . The reports section is VERY easy to follow as each section can be clicked on separately, allowing you to read traffic and sales charts separately etc. Also, the customer support approached me first, which is always great for a company to do, it really helps the user feel welcomed! I also like the marketing feature, which allows you to set up a campaign within 5 minutes. Cons I think the marketplace can seem a bit confusing to a beginner, it doesn't explain in enough detail what each campaign is, perhaps room for change? I've seen other affiliate sites have descriptions before having to request to promote that product, personally this matter doesn't bother me too much, but it might affect others. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best checkout platform built for marketers" July 3, 2019 5.0 Paykickstart is a checkout platform with all the features that an online marketer needs Pros Every feature in Paykickstart is built with a marketing focus in mind because the people who are behind it are excellent marketers. There are many features, especially affiliate program features, that cannot be found in any other platforms. If you don't use a marketing focused checkout platform Paykickstart, you will need to use a combination of several tools to achieve what Paykickstart can do. Cons The interface of the user dashboard is a little bit outdated for me. What frustrates me the most is the date picker. But this is nitpicking. The functionalities overweight these little downsides. Reason for choosing PayKickstart More features Review Source Krzysztof A. Prezes Zarządu Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Start with a good kick" July 3, 2019 5.0 Customer support and communication Pros Helps to qualify my leads automatically Cons There is nothing I would say I don't like or consider as cons Review Source MH Mihai H. Entrepreneur E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "They're constantly upgrading the platform and adding new features." July 2, 2020 5.0 At the time of writing, I've been a customer for 3 months and I am loving the experience, but especially the support system. They answered all my questions and I really appreciated that even the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is active sometimes to interact with the customers. They're constantly upgrading the platform and adding new features. Before choosing PayKickStart, I've research several competitors for a few days, but they are the best for my specific set of needs. Pros The override price in Funnel building area. Most of the checkout pages look really well on mobile, which is a huge +. Cons You can't customize the checkout pages very much, not even the colors in all the places. You can through CSS, but not for basic users like myself. Alternatives considered [WooCommerce](https://www.capterra.com/p/225601/WooCommerce/)[Zen Cart](https://www.capterra.com/p/145901/Zen-Cart/) Review Source rW russell W. owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PayKickStart " October 24, 2019 3.0 I had hoped to make additional revenue through Affiliate Commissions. However, I had a bad experience with the very first company which I made a sale for. The Sale was NOT tracked, and I receive no commissions. I was told that I had to deal with the Vendor, not Paykickstart, but the Vendor never responded to my messages, even though I could prove who the customer was. I was left with the feeling that Paykickstart had no interest in making sure that their customers got paid. I don't think they should be liable for commissions, but I would have liked to have felt that they would take a more active interest in resolving the matter, rather than a totally hands-off approach Pros Great idea, and great opportunity for legitimate business people who want an affiliate system, without being exploited. Cons Short supply of products which I would want to promote, and I did not get paid a commission which I earned. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Heartbreak Whisperer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Extremely robust but just not for the newbie entrepreneur" August 19, 2022 5.0 Good! Just can't stick with it long term. Pros Integration with ConvertKit, great customizable checkout templates, lots of membership site integrations, upsells, downsells and bump offers. Also has Bank Wire (ACH / SEPA) vendor feature and Cancellation Saver Widget. Cons You have to pay $159/mth for the annual Growth plan for the ability to allow Apple Pay & Google Pay, Affiliate Center and Dunning Management, and some of these features are already provided for by other check out systems at a lower pricing tier. This just isn't worth it unless you are consistently making a certain amount per month. Switched from [SamCart](https://www.capterra.com/p/204117/SamCart/) Wanted to test out another check-out system. Review Source SG Scott G.

September 18, 2021 5.0 Overall, PayKickStarts has been a great experience; they manage all of my payments, and I can quickly price my products, add upsells, and integrate so that my customers can have access as soon as they pay. Pros I find the software iseasy to learn. It is well documented and I find it easy to implement. I like its broad range of features, and monitoring tools. Its free to use for affiliates. Cons Can't identify something i don't personally like. Review Source VK Vlad K. Analyst Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good platform with potential" June 10, 2021 4.0 Pros Easy to use interface, availability of customer support, functionality, affiliate system.
