“Yes for digital product sales; only partially for abandoned cart recovery. Kit (formerly ConvertKit) has become a much more capable commerce platform for creators, but I wouldn't automatically replace your ecommerce tool without looking at how you currently sell.”
“Kit has its own built-in commerce system, called Kit Commerce. You can sell directly without Shopify, ThriveCart, or another checkout platform.”
“Digital downloads: ebooks, PDFs, templates, presets, and other files.”
“Online courses: including email-delivered courses and links to hosted courses.”
“Memberships: recurring subscriptions and paid access.”
“Paid newsletters: monthly or annual subscriptions.”
“Payment flexibility: one-time payments, installments, recurring payments, and pay-what-you-want pricing.”
“Discount codes: percentage or fixed-amount discounts.”
“Order bumps: up to two additional products at checkout with the newer product setup.”
“Automatic delivery: buyers receive their files or access links after purchasing.”
“Email automation: automatically tag buyers, trigger sequences, and send upsells.”
“Kit now has a proper abandoned-checkout automation feature, which is a significant improvement.”
“Kit even provides a prebuilt three-email recovery sequence.”
“Crucially, Kit's documentation does not establish equivalent native abandoned-checkout recovery for products sold through Kit Commerce itself.”
“Physical product fulfillment | No”
“Complex product bundles | Limited”
“Advanced ecommerce checkout customization | Limited”
“Comprehensive tax handling | Limited”
“Taxes: Kit supports VAT collection, but doesn't handle every country's sales taxes. This matters if you sell internationally.”
“Bundles: There's no dedicated product-bundling feature, although you can deliver multiple files as one product.”
“Checkout customization: Its newer checkout is more standardized than a dedicated ecommerce platform.”
“But I wouldn't call it a full replacement for a dedicated ecommerce platform yet, particularly if abandoned-cart recovery is important to your revenue.”
“Payments: Kit uses Stripe for its native commerce functionality.”
