SamCart vs. Stan Store

Which platform actually helps you sell more?

Stan Store is a solid starter option for creators selling from a link in bio. But if you’re serious about maximizing sales, growing your customer base, and scaling your business, SamCart is built to help you do exactly that.

Compare the platforms below and see why creators switch to SamCart when they’re ready to grow.

What Makes SamCart Different?

We’re not just another storefront. We’re the revenue platform.

While Stan Store gives creators a simple link in bio setup, SamCart is laser focused on one thing: helping you sell more. From high-converting checkouts to advanced upsells, order bumps, and cart recovery tools, we give you every feature to help you  scale starting at just $79/month.

Here’s how it works...

Conversion Boosters You Won’t Get with Stan

Sell more of what you already have without lifting a finger.

SamCart doesn’t just process payments. It helps you boost your average order value and reclaim lost sales with built-in tools that Stan Store either doesn’t offer or locks behind their $99/month Pro plan.

Here’s what SamCart includes that Stan Store doesn’t:
  • 1-Click Checkout with Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Buy Now Pay Later
  • Pre-purchase Order Bumps to increase average cart value
  • Post-purchase Upsells & Downsells with a single click
  • Automated Cart Abandonment recovery sequences
  • Advanced Coupons & Free Trials for powerful promotions
  • Subscription tools with automatic failed payment recovery

No upgrades required. Every SamCart plan includes these tools.

Your Brand. Your Pages.
