PayKickstart review: PayKickstart Review: Hiya everyone, Adam Payne here and you are about to get a real introduction to Paykickstart by Mark Thompson and Matt Callen. It was actually first launched in 2015, but the official launch is July 26th, 2018. And if you don’t know, I NEVER review a product I do not use myself (ok, I have done that twice but I digress). I am a user of this though and have enough experience of this and its competitors to give a thorough review. So let’s get going.

PayKickstart Review: Hiya everyone, Adam Payne here and you are about to get a real
introduction to Paykickstart by Mark Thompson and Matt Callen. It was actually first
launched in 2015, but the official launch is July 26th, 2018.
And if you don’t know, I NEVER review a product I do not use myself (ok, I have done that
twice but I digress). I am a user of this though and have enough experience of this and its
competitors to give a thorough review. So let’s get going.
What is Paykickstart?
PayKickstart is the one of the fastest and easiest shopping cart & affiliate software for
selling more products online. Zero Per-Transaction fees (woop woop).
You can sell digital and physical products as one-time, recurring subscription, free/paid
trials, split payments, and more.
Other extras include built-in conversion boosters like: 1-Click Upsells, subscription saver
sequences, order bumps, coupon codes and more.
It also has integrated affiliate management that features instant/delayed commissions,
marketing materials, W9/W8 tax management and more!
PayKickstart is GDPR compliant too.

2. I think now it’s time to get down and dirty and have a look inside of the PayKickstart
platform so you can see for yourself what it’s like:

You can watch the PayKickstart review on YouTube too.
PayKickstart Vs JVzoo
I have used both of these and while JVzoo is well established and has good support, I have
been moving my business away from them. Here is why:
+ The name of JVzoo is inextricably linked to poor quality IM offers. They consistently
reward shoddy products with product of the day.
+ Once you have bought a product as an affiliate, you will get your in-box murdered with
their emails. As a vendor, if someone buys a product of mine, I do not want them emailed
with what are, for the most part, terrible quality products. Now you can turn this option off
but 99.9% of folk do not.
The upside of JVzoo is that they are easy to use and have been around for along time.
I am not going to be using them from this point on because of the issues mentioned above
and by putting my products on JVZoo, I am guilty by association.
PayKickstart Vs Clickbank
What is clear is that Clickbank is the largest marketplace for digital offers. And it is
something I think you should consider at some point ( getting your offer).
2/7

3. There is a slight learning curve getting everything set up though, and Clickbank takes 10%
of each sale so it does come with these drawbacks.
I would however, not ignore Clickbank due to the size and potential it has for getting you
sales.
While I have my main product on PayKickstart, I do plan to add it ( and future ones) to
Clickbank as well due to its size.
PayKickstart Vs ThriveCart
Thrive has a good image and reputation. And I like it to a degree (it looks nice and has a
fairly intuitive interface). They have an active FB group and many happy users.
So my comments are purely based on my own experience.
Note: I bought a lifetime license of Thrivecart when it came out and am still as of yet,
unable to use it properly. The issues I have faced:
They do not connect properly with PayPal Japan. This makes it highly problematic for
me to do business and are the only platform I have encountered these issues. Japan
is not the only country with this issue.
When I was choosing a place to sellVideo Marketing Insider I found they had issues
with not connecting to MemberMouse properly. By that, I mean emails were not
getting sent out to test buyers ( this is a ThriveCart issue, not MemberMouse).
In both cases I reached out to ThriveCart’s support. The reply was quick and polite but in
both cases the blame was put on the ‘other party’ and I was left unable to proceed. ‘Not our
fault’ was the general reply.
Naturally, that did not help me.
When I had a similar issue with Paykickstart and Membermouse, Paykickstart support
looked into the issue and fixed it for me. They went above and beyond, and unlike Thrive,
ended up with a customer.
I’m not anti-ThriveCart at all. They have lots of good points, but despite me getting a lifetime
license, I am still unable to use it properly.
They have their fanboys who love it and won’t hear a bad word said against it, but I can
only speak from my personal experiences.
Support is vital and to me, there is no good being quick if you are not able to fix the issues.

To my knowledge, Thrive, Samcart and others do not have a mobile app. If I am wrong,
please let me know in the comments section.
PayKickstart Review: The Negatives
No platform is perfect so with that in mind, just what are the negatives of Paykickstart? I
have listed what I believe below:
Intuitiveness. It is not the most intuitive platform. This could be as they have so many
functions. Thrive was more intuitive to me, but as has been mentioned, i found them
unusable.
Pricing. They are not cheap compared to JVzoo, but also do not come with the
stigma and again, do much more.
In fact, the pricing may be holdng you back, but you can have a trial to see if you like it.
PayKickstart Pricing
5/7

6. PayKickstart is not free but that’s a good thing. What? Are you crazy I hear you cry! Well, if
it were free, it would be a completely unsustainable business. But when you begin selling
online, you’ll realize that forthe features you get, the price is reasonable.
Basic Plan: $29.00/mo
Professional Plan: $99.00/mo << I use this personally.
Premium Plan: $149.00/mo
Summary:
In summary, PayKickstart is, in my own opinion, a high quality and reliable shopping cart
and affiliate program combination. They have an abundance of features and as a user, I
can testify that they are constantly looking to innovate and improve.
They also have quick and efficient support desk with members based globally.
If you are looking for something to sell your own products that comes with an affiliate
program, has a ton of integrations and works as advertised on the tin, then PayKickstart is a
great choice.
You know that every sale you make, you get to keep 100% of the amount (unlike
JVzoo and Clickbank).
You know the email list is yours and your customers are not going to get bombarded
with emails for poor quality products like they would do on JVzoo or Warrior Plus.
So, in a nuthsell, I recommend you take advantage of the trial and get in at the basic or
professional level first.
I hope you have gotten some value from this PayKickstart review. Regardless as to
whether you get it or now, I’d love for you to share your thoughts in the comments section
and share this post on Social Media.

one month I made that inside of PayKickstart.
You can see how I did that in a case study video. It will be made available once the launch

You must grab it via my link to get the bonus though.
