**APIs profiled:** 6

SamCart is a checkout and e-commerce platform for selling digital products, courses, memberships, and physical goods directly to customers, built around a high-converting CheckoutOS checkout, one-click upsells, subscriptions, and a courses/members area. The SamCart Public API (v1) is a REST API at https://api.samcart.com/v1 that gives programmatic read access to a marketplace's orders, products, customers, subscriptions, charges, and refunds, plus write actions to cancel or schedule cancellation of subscriptions, refund charges, and update order custom fields. Authentication is via an sc-api API key header, and API access is provisioned by the SamCart Support team rather than fully self-serve.
