The SamCart Quickstart Guide

Step 1: Create Your Product

Step 3: Grow Your Sales

SamCart's newest checkout technology is converting +51% higher than our previous checkouts. Let's take full advantage of that by turning on all the latest features that help turn more visitors into customers.

1. Head back to the Product Details page, and visit the Payments tab.
2. Turn on as many of the available payment methods as you would like.
   Please note - if all payment methods are switched off or no payment processor is integrated, checkout will not function.

With all of these buttons turned on, your customers will be able to purchase using...

• Credit Cards
• Stored Credit Cards through Stripe Link
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Buy Now, Pay Later options (Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay)
• PayPal

If you are unable to toggle any of these buttons on, you may still need to connect your SamCart Marketplace to a payment processor. You can quickly connect with a processor by clicking on the orange banner at the top of your marketplace, or by following this help article and connecting with SamPay.
