Using SureCart and Kadence (first look)

Question

How to best use Kadence and Surecart in my website to create an awesome WordPress store!

#WordPressQ&A #February2023

Answer

I am excited to dive into this one! I use Kadence a lot. It's one of my favourite themes. However, I haven't used SureCart yet - despite lurking in their Facebook group. There was a lot of hype about it at the start which turned me off!

I would recommend you watch the video for the show and tell but here's a brief summary after a very quick initial play.

  • Great features in the free version - one of the most generous I've seen for eCommerce. I'm talking
    • Subscriptions (including cancellations)
    • Pay what you want
    • Free trials
    • Paid trial period
    • Tax
  • Easy to create a product
  • Seemed quite tricky to actually piece it all together - gave me more of a "developer/techy" vibe - I don't have time to mess around with shortcodes and blocks for every tiny thing
  • In terms of using it with Kadence, didn't see anything special - in fact it was kind of lacking
    • Also, it doesn't explicitly mention Kadence in the list of compatible themes - could be because Adam (the owner), stopped promoting Kadence after being a champion of it (drama?)

I am excited to see where this goes as my first impression is mostly positive. The techy-ness concerns me but I have already seen something in the group about creating product pages so that should help.

They also have a suite of other plugins which are meant to work well with each other. Hopefully, SureCart will continue to work well on a standalone basis.

Do you have an eCommerce element on your site?

If so, which theme and plugin do you use? Have you tried Kadence and/or SureCart?
