Which to use

SamCart wins when your checkout page, order bumps and upsells matter more than having a full course platform. Stripe wins when you want pay-per-sale card processing with Payment Links, subscriptions and invoices and no monthly fee.

Choose SamCart if you sell courses, coaching or digital products and want high-converting checkout pages with upsells.
Choose Stripe if you want to take card payments for products, services or subscriptions without a monthly fee.
