  SamCart is sold as a monthly (or discounted annual) SaaS subscription to the
  checkout platform itself; the Public API is a capability layered on top of a
  paid SamCart account rather than a separately metered product. As of the
  review date SamCart publishes three current plan tiers - Core, Pro, and
  Enterprise - having retired the older Launch / Grow / Scale tiers (kept below
  for reference). Annual billing is discounted roughly 25% and every plan
  includes a 7-day free trial. API access itself is provisioned by the SamCart
  Support team on request (support@samcart.com) and has historically been gated
  to a beta program and higher-tier accounts, so confirm API availability for a
  given plan directly with SamCart.
notes: >-
  Prices are grounded in SamCart's published pricing and multiple 2026 pricing
  breakdowns but change over time - verify current numbers at
  https://www.samcart.com/pricing. Which exact plan unlocks the Public API is
  not clearly published; treat API access as support-provisioned and possibly
  higher-tier only.
