| description | SamCart platform help — hosted checkout/cart for digital-product creators (conversion templates, order bumps, 1-click upsells, A/B testing, Subscription Saver dunning, Affiliate Center) with a read-mostly REST API (api.samcart.com/v1, sc-api key header, official OpenAPI spec — private beta, key via support) and unsigned Notify URL webhooks (~15 triggers). Use when integrating SamCart orders/subscriptions into a CRM or data warehouse, a Notify URL webhook needs verification or a polling backup, canceling or scheduling subscription cancellation via the API, watching failed charges and dunning recovery, deciding between Core and Pro (upsells, order bumps, A/B testing and affiliates are Pro-gated), attributing funnel/upsell/affiliate revenue, or planning a migration off SamCart when recurring payments can't port. Do NOT use for checkout-conversion strategy across carts (use /sales-checkout) or digital-product pricing/launch strategy (use /sales-digital-products). |

SamCart Platform Help
SamCart is a hosted checkout/cart platform for digital-product creators: conversion-optimized checkout pages with order bumps, 1-click upsells, subscription billing with dunning ("Subscription Saver"), and a built-in Affiliate Center — subscription-priced (vs ThriveCart's lifetime license). Automation runs through a read-mostly REST API plus "Notify URL" webhooks.
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask only what you can't infer from the user's prompt:
-
What are you trying to do?
- A) Integrate SamCart data (orders/subscriptions/customers) with a CRM, warehouse, or your app
- B) Set up or debug Notify URL webhooks
- C) Manage subscriptions programmatically (cancel, schedule-cancel, dunning visibility)
- D) Decide on a plan (Core vs Pro vs Enterprise) or understand fees
- E) Checkout/upsell/affiliate configuration questions
-
Do you have an API key yet? The API is a support-gated private beta — keys come from support@samcart.com, not self-serve settings.
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already has enough context, go straight to Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
| If the user's question is about… | Route to |
|---|
| Which cart/checkout platform to pick (SamCart vs ThriveCart/Checkout Page/Gumroad) | /sales-checkout {question} |
| Checkout-conversion strategy (bump/upsell design, cart abandonment) across tools | /sales-checkout {question} |
| Digital-product pricing, validation, launch strategy | /sales-digital-products {question} |
| Migrating active subscriptions between billing platforms without double-billing | /sales-subscription-billing {question} |
| Running an affiliate program (commission design, recruiting) | /sales-affiliate-program {question} |
When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-checkout {original question}"
Otherwise, answer SamCart-specific questions directly using Step 3.
Step 3 — SamCart platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — capabilities & automation surface, pricing/plan gates, data model (orders → cart_items → charges/subscriptions), and quick-start recipes (nightly order sync, verified webhook listener, subscription cancellation).
