Digital Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/24/2020 "The most versatile online shopping cart you're going to find." 4.5/5 What do you like best about PayKickstart? There are many things I like about PayKickstart. Some of those things are the fact that you have built-in affiliate system, can create coupons, discounts, upsells, order bumps, an more. There are certainly a lot of other options out there, but few of them include this many features at this price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PayKickstart? PayKickstart takes a little set-up time. I wouldn't call it confusing. It's actually pretty straightforward. Rather there are so many features available one should expect to invest a little time learning it so that you are familiar with the various features and can figure out the best settings for your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PayKickstart: You really can't go wrong with PayKickstart. It will be a good choice for the long haul and grow with your business. Definitely try the free trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PayKickstart solving and how is that benefiting you? I am selling an online digital product with a subscription based order bump. I knew that I wanted to try to attract some affiliates to promote my product. What I didn't realize was how many affiliates would find me simply because my product is now listed in the PayKickstart affiliate market. It's pretty cool! I really like how I can set my price, but then create coupons for my affiliates. There are a ton of other options that I could employ to maximize my sales. My next step is to create more promotional materials for my affiliates to help them be able to make sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CEO/Founder Investment Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/1/2019 "Awesome for a quick set up and deployment" 5/5 What do you like best about PayKickstart? Simply put, it's quick and easy to get set up and products, campaigns, and funnels deployed. We're using it for a few different applications and businesses now and it makes our payment processes that much more streamlined and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PayKickstart? Took a wee while to get our head around the different elements for setting up a campaign and products inside that but once we got that out the way the rest was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PayKickstart: Give it a try and put it into action. It's an awesome platform and allows you to do a LOT more than many platforms. It's ease of use, integrations with top platforms and speed of deployment of funnels and campaigns make it super powerful and the team behind it is truly awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PayKickstart solving and how is that benefiting you?

Affilate Advisor Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/29/2019 "PayKickStart offers a multitude of solutions for your checkout and affiliate marketing needs." 5/5 What do you like best about PayKickstart? The fact that I can provide feedback on the platform which will, in turn, make it more powerful. While other cart and checkout platforms barely listen to your needs. PK not only listens but that take action pretty fast. They are always innovating and pushing updates. It's amazing how much this system a do for you. From merchant options to cart templet options. PK has been my go-to cart option for launching products and maintaining MRR from customers on our software. I have launched info products, software and live events on PK. The Checkout process has many templates and options that will increase your conversions and will pay you way more than the investment of owning your own PK account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PayKickstart? Not much this platform is great and the few times I have run into something I have either received help from support or they listened to my ideas and implemented improvements. Not to say they would always do that but if it makes sound sense it would get done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CEO & Founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/28/2019 "PayKickstart fills the gaps you didn’t know have with other processors" 5/5 What do you like best about PayKickstart? The platform does everything you possibly need in order to process payments. This includes all the bells and whistles you want to increase conversions. Customer management, upgrading and downgrading subscriptions, and a wonderful API that gives you back all the control you want as a Vendor. And everything at a monthly fee. No percentage on your sales. This and more made me a happy customer for the last year and possibly for life. Another remark, is that their support is probably the best I’ve seen cross industries. Fast replies, helpful, understanding, and following up if they don’t got an answer handy. Real customer care we take great inspiration from and in implementing support in our own business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PayKickstart? I love everything about PayKickstart. But, sales reports... need an overhaul. Vendor and affiliate reports do not match up on the click tracking side of things. Different data sets on the vendor side that do not make much sense. Nothing that will make me leave, but could be done better and made easier for both vendor and affiliate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PayKickstart: Just do it, you press costs, and gain revenue. It’s the most logical thing to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PayKickstart solving and how is that benefiting you? I’ve used around 5 payment processors and PayKickstart is hands-down the best. Primarily love 1 Click Upsells on PayPal and Stripe. Proper VAT reporting and handling, editable checkout pages. Plus... You get a lot of control with the API.

Founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/27/2019 "Very Flexible + Relentless Improvements" 5/5 What do you like best about PayKickstart? PayKickstart is one of the most flexible shopping carts available on the market, and they have relentlessly continued product development with no signs of slowing down. It's great to know they are putting so much into the product on a continuing basis, which gives confidence moving forward for anyone who plans to build their business on top of this car. It's not a "here today, gone tomorrow" product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PayKickstart? While it's almost required in order to be so flexible, I wish a few things were a little more intuitive to figure out. This is a difficult balance to strike, which I totally understand so it's a worthwhile trade-off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PayKickstart: If you're looking for one of the most complete checkout systems on the market, PayKickstart is your solution. Others may be easier to use - but they sacrifice options and quality in order to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PayKickstart solving and how is that benefiting you? Easy affiliate management, flexible payment options and killer 1-click up-sells are among the best features that PayKickstart offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

President Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/27/2019 "Best shopping cart for business that are serious about growth." 5/5 What do you like best about PayKickstart? PKS has all of the major features that we need in a shopping cart. All of the bells and whistles. And they make setting things up super easy. You can tell that it was created by people that have been selling products and services online for a very long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PayKickstart? This is a tough one, but I would probably say that the loading speed of some of their more in-depth reporting could be improved. I'm sure this isn't the case for the bulk of their customers, but being a nerd when it comes to stats, I could always use faster load times on the reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PayKickstart: If you sell any sort of digital product, PKS is a great choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PayKickstart solving and how is that benefiting you? PKS makes thing super simple to set up complex upsell funnels and flows. And their API allows us to do a lot of things that are definitely outside-of-the-box, which is great for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/2/2019 "Paykickstart very feature rich platform" 5/5 What do you like best about PayKickstart? The massive amount of features. The product setup allows an incredible amount of options so I can tailor each product as needed. On the affiliate side of things, Paykickstart offers many override options so I can reuse the same product, but tailor each affiliates offer to fit their needs. In addition, Paykickstart makes it simple for me to manage all affiliate payouts. The funnel builder is easy to use and again offers many options such as creating payment widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PayKickstart? Not much as the platform is always being updated with new features and the support is fantastic. If I had to pick one issue, it would be the reporting. It can be a bit difficult to get the results I want to see due to the multitude of options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PayKickstart solving and how is that benefiting you? Collecting subscription payments for my software as well as managing affiliates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Director Of Marketing Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/1/2019 "Get your products up and running - and looking great - in no time!" 5/5 What do you like best about PayKickstart? It is really easy for me to setup new products and get affiliates on board for promoting those products in record time. I love how my checkout pages look - fresh and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PayKickstart? I experienced a slight learning curve when I first started using PKS, but once I learned the system campaigns +products+funnels it really is a no brainer. One thing I don't like is have to change my sales checkout page settings. I would like it to remember my settings and always use the same ones. (this probably is already a feature I have yet to discover!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PayKickstart solving and how is that benefiting you? Updated Shopping cart, easy integration. Our goal this year is to simplify setup - and PKS helps us do just that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
