Create a Free Groove.CM Account

Building a successful ecommerce business starts with choosing the best platform, at the most realistic cost.And with an all-in-one system as expansive as GrooveFunnels™ (recently renamed Groove.CM), it might take some time to learn about and fully maximize all that the suite of apps has to offer.

With free access to over twenty apps in the Groove ecosystem, GrooveKartⓇ and GrooveSell™ are just two of the world-class software applications that are designed for selling products online, but they are separate platforms with different features.

GrooveKartⓇ v GrooveSell™

GrooveKartⓇ is an ecommerce store creator. (Alternative: Shopify, $948+ p/y)
GrooveSell™ is a sales system. (Alternative: SamCart, $588+ p/y)

Both applications are housed inside the fastest growing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) for digital and ecommerce marketers: Groove.CM.

They each function as independent platforms, although they are easily integrated to create a one-stop shop for ecommerce management and sales systems. While both allow you to sell physical and digital products online, the main difference is the way of selling.

GrooveKartⓇ uses an online store-style of selling and GrooveSell™ uses a funnel-style of selling.

When selling retail products, print-on-demand (POD), or dropshipping products, use GrooveKartⓇ. When selling a product where you would like more control over the customer’s purchasing path with upsells and order bumps, use GrooveSell™.

Both platforms are free to use, even with a free Groove.CM membership.

What is an ecommerce platform?

An ecommerce platform is an online software application that enables business owners to sell physical and digital products over the internet.

When individuals or businesses buy and sell their products and services online, and conduct online transactions, they are engaging in ecommerce – which is facilitated using a software application.

To run an ecommerce business, the platform requires different functionality and features from software available for running a general online business. Ecommerce platforms are created for that purpose only. Alternatively, business owners could have an online store built from scratch, but in most cases it is neither efficient nor cost effective.

Popular Ecommerce Platforms in 2021:

  • GrooveKartⓇ
  • Shopify
  • Magento
  • Zen Cart
  • WooCommerce
  • Drupal
  • Wix
  • SquareSpace
  • Weebly

GrooveSellTM is well suited for digital products and services.

It is a valuable tool that creates a sales funnel and customer path for potential customers to follow during the checkout process. While most shopping cart systems are expensive and have lackluster features, GrooveSell™ offers two streamlined dashboards for either vendor or affiliate.

What is a shopping cart platform?

Online stores adopted the concept of a shopping cart (“trolley”) for online shoppers to place their items without being locked into an immediate purchasing decision, giving them the freedom to browse through the rest of the store.

About $260 billion in lost ecommerce sales could be recovered through checkout optimization – which is where shopping cart software comes in. Simply by offering a better checkout design and high-quality user experience, online merchants can increase their conversion rates by up to 35%.

But the software should function as more than just an order form, a robust platform will enable ecommerce store owners to:

  • Access back-end analytics
  • Upsell digital products
  • Connect to payment gateways
  • Display proof for higher conversions
  • Link your sales page and thank-you pages
  • Set up product fulfillment
  • Start an affiliate program

  • 3dcart

GrooveKartⓇ vs GrooveSell™ Features

GrooveKartⓇ

We make it easy for anybody to get started with GrooveKartⓇ. Other platforms charge you more for less, plus all the sneaky additional expenses for third-party apps which are all standard and free with GrooveKartⓇ. No hidden fees!

Making the switch from Shopify to GrooveKartⓇ is as easy as a click of a button, with an easy import of your store. You won’t lose any data, and we guarantee better sales, conversions, and satisfaction with GrooveKartⓇ – or your money back.

We don’t bloat our software with features for the sake of features. We design stores that will convert better. Period. Here are just a handful of our powerful features:

  • No monthly fees

GrooveKartⓇ can be compared to Shopify, except there are no monthly fees which will save you upwards of hundreds of dollars.

  • No coding needed

The founders and team members of Groove are internet marketing experts who bring first-hand experience to the platform, but Groove.CM is not a marketing company that helps you with your tech stack; we’re a technology company that helps you with your marketing.

The user-friendly interface means that you can easily customize your store with hundreds of templates and a simple drag-and-drop builder – so you never have to code or hire a web designer.

  • Free custom domains

A custom domain is a branded domain. In other words, when you want to visit a particular site, you can simply type its custom domain into the address bar of your web browser.

GrooveKart’s custom domain is groovekart.com. So, you can use your own brand and domain with GrooveKartⓇ, all you need is your own domain hosting – which can cost as little as $9 p/y depending on your service provider.

  • International currencies

Enabling multiple currencies allows store owners to sell anywhere in the world – without any hassle of currency conversion. This naturally facilitates buying and selling internationally, but it also greatly enhances the customer service experience.

More currencies are regularly added.

  • Payment gateway options

GrooveKartⓇ seamlessly integrates with multiple payment gateway options, such as GroovePay™, PayPal, and Stripe. But, unlike most other ecommerce platforms, we do not charge a payment processing fee.

Plus, there’s the added bonus of opening a GroovePay™ merchant account, for the lowest rates. No hidden fees means more money in your pocket!

  • GK Ali-Connect

GrooveKartⓇ has a built-in integration to AliExpress – an online retailer that gives small businesses the opportunity to sell products to customers around the world with minimal capital. It also supports dropshipping, which allows businesses to accept and fulfil orders without holding any stock.

  • Help desk

With GrooveKartⓇ, there’s no need to invest in a separate customer support platform for your online store. A help desk is already integrated in the platform and allows your customers to easily connect with you. It works like any standard ticket system and conveniently helps you keep track of customer requests.

  • Live chat functionality

On top of the built-in ticket system, there’s also a free live chat system. The app allows your customers to directly connect with you in real time – should you wish. The benefits of this are increased customer satisfaction and subsequent conversions.

  • Product design tool

The product design tool allows you to create custom products, using the drag-and-drop interface. In just a few clicks, you can put your custom designs on all kinds of merchandise, including sweaters, socks, shoes, backpacks, t-shirts, banners, and more.

This integrates with the fully customizable print platform, for print-on-demand and automated dropshipping solutions.

  • Print-on-demand and dropshipping

GrooveKartⓇ integrates with the best printing partner, TeeScape, and boasts impressive print-on-demand and dropshipping capabilities that are built into the platform – with over 500 pre-made templates across dozens of categories.

So, even if you don’t have your own product to sell, you can build a GrooveKartⓇ store and generate profit without keeping any inventory.

  • Advanced security

GrooveKartⓇ is both GDPR and CSMA compliant, and also automatically includes free basic FTC compliance – paid for you. This ensures the latest implementation of security protocols and encryption, in accordance with international law.

Without having to investigate all the rules and regulations, you’re safely able to open a store and start selling right out the gate.

  • Coupon management system

GrooveKartⓇ has an advanced coupon management system that allows store owners to set discounts and promotions for certain items, as well as generate coupon codes. It is one of the most effective marketing tools for customer acquisition and retention when it comes to ecommerce.

  • Unlimited one-click upsells

One-click upsells are a proven strategy that increases the value of a customer’s order at checkout. This can increase profits by as much as 35%. With GrooveKartⓇ, you can offer customers the opportunity to buy something else, with just one click, at no additional cost to you.

  • Mobile Friendly

When it comes to both mobile or desktop, we’re all about speed. GrooveKartⓇ has the fastest loading times on any device. And as more consumers engage in mcommerce (mobile commerce), it’s essential for stores to be fully optimized for mobile.
