Checkout statistics

Checkout statistics for 2026, with their sources

Two kinds of numbers, each with its sample and date: one seller's real results, from Jacob Pegs' ThriveCart account, and what 11 checkout tools charge, from their own pricing pages.

Checkout conversion rate

Every product Jacob Pegs sold through ThriveCart before he built Swipefast, all time.

  • In Jacob Pegs' ThriveCart account, 6.06% of the people who reached a checkout page ordered: 1,872 orders from 30,911 checkout views.
  • The average order in that account was $225.94, across 1,872 orders from 1,521 customers.
  • Funnel conversion is far lower than checkout conversion: 1.67% of everyone who entered his Gameplan Tool funnel in 2025 became a customer (309 of 18,492).
  • Those 309 customers placed 421 orders, 1.36 each, because many added the order bump or took an upsell.

The full numbers and what they mean: 30,911 people reached my checkout. 6.06% bought.

Order bump and upsell take rates

Two of Jacob Pegs' ThriveCart funnels: The Offer Maker (2026, to October) and The Gameplan Tool (2025).

  • In Jacob Pegs' ThriveCart funnels, order bumps were added by 41% and 27% of buyers (104 and 84 orders).
  • Four one-click upsells were taken by 2% to 9% of the people who saw them: 14 of 164, 23 of 420, 3 of 103 and 6 of 256.
  • Those four upsells still added $11,384 in sales.
  • The same upsell was taken by 9% of buyers after one product and 5% after another.
  • Both order bumps sold for under $50 on average: about $42 and $49.

The full numbers and what they mean: My order bumps converted at 41% and 27%. My upsells at 2–9%.

Refund rate and subscriptions

The same ThriveCart account, all time, as of October 2026.

  • Jacob Pegs' ThriveCart account had 24 refunds in 3,651 transactions: a refund rate of 0.66% by count.
  • By money, $5,776 of $423,237 in sales was refunded: 1.4%. Refunds lean towards bigger orders, so the share of money is higher than the share of transactions.
  • 332 subscriptions started through that account and renewed 1,358 times between them, about 4 renewals each.
  • Those subscriptions bring in $11,017 a month, with revenue churn of 1.53%.

The full numbers and what they mean: $423,237 in sales, 24 refunds, and $11,017 a month in subscriptions

Each tool on its cheapest plan that does order bumps and upsells, for one $97 product selling $5,000 a month, billed monthly. Fees are the tool's own price and its cut of each sale, before card processing (2.9000000000000005% + $0.30 an order on Stripe in the US). Prices come from each company's own pricing page, checked 15 October 2026 unless the table gives another date.

Where the numbers come from

The seller numbers are Jacob Pegs' own, read from the stats screens of the ThriveCart account he sold digital products through for years before he built Swipefast. They were published on 9 October 2026, not rounded. They're one seller's results, not an industry average: use them as one real data point next to your own.

They aren't Swipefast sellers' numbers. Swipefast doesn't publish its sellers' sales.

Prices change, so check the company's own page before you decide. Swipefast is in the fee table too, priced by the same rules as everyone else.
