ThriveCart

ThriveCart is a hosted shopping cart, checkout and course platform for creators, coaches and digital-product sellers, operated by ThriveCart LLC. It sells one-time and recurring digital and physical products through customisable checkout pages with order bumps, one-click upsells and downsells, A/B testing, abandoned-cart recovery, sales-tax automation and a built-in affiliate centre, and bundles a learning-management product (ThriveCart Learn / ThriveCart Academy).

The ThriveCart catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
