SamCart

SamCart is an e-commerce shopping cart platform founded in 2013 by Scott and Brian Moran. It has become a viable alternative to Thrivecart, which is another supported e-commerce platform that offers similar functionality. When you integrate SamCart to AnyTrack you are able to track your sales (with or without bumps) and send them to your connected ad networks via Conversion APIincluding rich first-party dataand attribution to improve ad targeting, retargeting, and audiences, consequently ROASand other conversion metrics improve.

🚧

Limited Support for Custom Integrations

Please note that we don't provide direct support for setting up or adjusting custom integrations outside of our Integration Catalog. While our documentation offers helpful guidance, it may not be actively updated to reflect new changes in those platforms. Setup and adjustments have to be implemented by you. Let us know if you have general questions!

❗️

About Upsells

If your funnel includes Upsells, SamCart has informed us that it has a limitation in terms of Purchase notifications: it will inform AnyTrack; first after Purchase, and then after Upsell, the last notification includes the Purchase, making the first notification redundant. If your funnel has one-click upsells, you will need to remove the redundant Purchase before sending it to AnyTrack using an automation middleware like Zapier or Make. Purchases with bumps are not affected by this limitation.

Overview

While we don't have a native SamCart integration we leverage our general-purpose Custom Integration to track all your sales automatically from SamCart. With the help of AnyTrack, you can now send conversion data like revenue, product name, customer name, email, etc, easily and accurately to platforms' conversion APIssuch as Google Ads, Facebook Conversion API, and TikTok for efficient tracking. This lets you get full control over conversion metrics without having to manually update each one individually - saving time while ensuring accuracy! Maximize ROI with customizable goals that match your unique business needs.

How does the SamCart integration work:

1. Traffic: When visitors land on your website or SamCart checkout, AnyTrack collects traffic source data and First Party data.
2. Conversions: When visitors complete a purchase event the trigger code sends AnyTrack real-time conversion data through a server-side connection.
3. Attribution: AnyTrack processes the conversion data and reports it across various reporting sections of the Anytrack Dashboard.
4. Conversion API: AnyTrack then sends your conversions to your Ad Platforms' Conversion API so you can feed your ad platform's Machine Learning, AI, and automatic optimization according to 100% of your conversion data.
