Here are the simple instructions to use Cart Conversion Boost to get more sales.
Cart Conversion Boost allows you to take the customer’s name and email before they get to the ThriveCart shopping cart page, so you can follow up with them, in case they don’t complete their purchase.
AND it pre-fills your ThriveCart shopping cart form, so your customer doesn’t have to. So buying is easier.
How To Setup Your Cart Conversion Boost Plugin
NOTE: On this page you will find the text and screenshot explanations, followed by a walk-through video of each part. You can choose whether you prefer to setup from following the text instructions or the video.
There are 2 versions of the Cart Conversion Boost plugin;
- Free (read on down below)
- Pro – << Click here to go to the Pro instructions
Free allows you to use one product. Pro is unlimited.
And Pro works slightly different for the linking process.
How you set it up depends on if you have a 2-step funnel or 3-step funnel…
Do You Have a 2-Step or 3-Step Funnel?
2-Step Funnel: Sales page > Cart
and…
3-Step Funnel: Squeeze opt-in > Sales page > Cart
First, lets look at the Free plugin, and how to use Cart Conversion Boost for a 2-step funnel, then a 3-step funnel…
The Free Plugin
In the free plugin, once you have generated your Cart Conversion Boost URL (CCB URL – see below how), you then use that CCB URL at the point where your site links across to ThriveCart.
This will then carry the customer’s name and email into your ThriveCart shopping page.
First, you need to add your main product’s ThriveCart product URL to the Cart Conversion Boost (CCB) Admin panel, to generate your CCB URL.
To get your ThriveCart Product URL, login to your ThriveCart account…
Then paste that URL into the Cart Conversion Boost admin panel…
Give it a name (only for your own identity purposes).
Hit “Save Changes”.
Now click the “Copy” button on the right.
This is your Cart Conversion Boost URL (CCB URL).
This video below shows you all the steps up to this point…
Free Plugin Using a 2-Step Funnel:
Paste the CCB URL into your Thrive Themes opt-in form, as the Target URL for the “After successful submission”, Redirect to custom URL.
In your Thrive Themes opt-in, click on your form, then on the left, under “After successful submission”, click to change to “Redirect to Custom URL”.
Paste your CCB URL as the “Target URL”.
Make sure you tick / check the “Send form values to thankyou page”.
Save.
That is it, for a 2-step-funnel.

This next video shows you how to set up a 2-step opt-in (on-click pop-up) in Thrive Themes…
Free Plugin Using a 3-Step Funnel:
With a 3-step funnel, (in the free plugin version) the difference is that you don’t put the CCB URL into your opt-in – you put it as the link on your sales page’s “Buy Now” button, to link to your ThriveCart page.
So you generate your Thrive Themes opt-in form exactly as a normal Thrive Themes opt-in form. Ideally as a 2-step on-click pop-up opt-in form.
Use the “After successful submission”, Redirect to Custom URL option, but this time, add the URL of your sales page.
Remember to tick / check the “Send form values to thankyou page”.
Save.
On your sales page, any link to buy (whether a button or link) should use the CCB URL as the link URL.
That will then carry the name and email address into your ThriveCart page and pre-fill the form.
Short Story – Free Plugin:
In the Free plugin, always use the CCB URL, both in a 2-step funnel (in the opt-in form) and also in a 3-step funnel (in the sales page “Buy Now” button link).
You use your CCB URL at the point where the customer goes from your site to your ThriveCart product page.
This next video shows you how to set up a 3-step funnel.
Sitewide Identity Persistence
Something you may want to consider getting the Pro version for (in addition to unlimited products, so you can grow and scale) is Sitewide Identity Persistence, which is explained and shown in this video…
Test Your Setup
If you want to test and see your Cart Conversion Boost URL in action, after you have set it all up, simply go through your funnel as a customer, through the opt-in etc.
Or to see just the CCB URL working, copy the following onto the end of your Cart Conversion Boost URL then visit the URL in a browser.
?tve_Name=DuncanTest&email=duncan@duncan.com
You should see your ThriveCart product page, with the name and email boxes pre-filled with name “Duncan” and email “duncan@duncan.com”
