ApproveThis manages your ThriveCart Integration approvals.

When Your Checkout Page Meets Your Red Tape

Let's get real: approval processes are where productivity goes to die. Especially when you're using ThriveCart to move fast with upsells, affiliate programs, and one-click offers - only to have every deal stuck waiting for someone's rubber stamp.

ApproveThis isn't another layer of bureaucracy. It's the duct tape that holds your sales engine together when you need human decisions. We automate the chasing, the reminders, and the "who's supposed to sign off on this?" chaos. Connect it to ThriveCart via Zapier, and suddenly your approvals keep pace with your sales.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies

ThriveCart handles the money moves. ApproveThis handles the "should we?" conversations. Together, they cover:

• Affiliate commissions needing finance approval
• Custom deals requiring manager sign-off
• High-value refunds that trigger fraud checks

Bonus? Your approvers don't need ThriveCart logins. Perfect for external partners or stingy CFOs who hate paying for extra SaaS seats.

Real-World Fixes for Sales Ops Headaches

Use Case 1: Affiliate Payouts That Don't Suck

Scenario: Your affiliate hits their commission threshold in ThriveCart. Instead of finance manually checking spreadsheets, ApproveThis auto-creates an approval request with:

• Order details
• Commission calculations
• Affiliate performance history

Who benefits? E-commerce teams scaling affiliate programs without hiring more accountants. Case in point: A skincare brand reduced payout errors by 62% after connecting these systems.

Use Case 2: Custom Deals That Close Faster

Problem: Your sales team offers a 20% bulk discount in ThriveCart. But legal needs to review terms first. Old way? Slack pings and missed emails. New way:

1. Sales submits deal via ThriveCart form
2. Zapier triggers ApproveThis workflow
3. Legal gets email with contract PDF attached

Result: Enterprise SaaS company cut deal approval time from 3 days to 4 hours. No exaggeration - their CFO sent us a fruit basket.

Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond basic approvals, these combos matter:

Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve commissions under $500. Only escalate big payouts to directors.

Vacation Coverage: Sales manager out? Requests auto-route to their second-in-command without missing SLAs.

Calculated Fields: Show lifetime customer value alongside refund requests. Helps approvers make informed calls.

Setup That Won't Make You Rage-Quit

Connect in 15 minutes:

1. In Zapier, choose ThriveCart's "Affiliate Commission Earned" trigger
2. Map commission data to ApproveThis' "Create Request" action
3. Set approvers based on deal size (we auto-calculate thresholds)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' email approvals so execs can sign off without another app login.

Department-Specific Wins

Finance Teams

Stop being the bottleneck. Set auto-approvals for routine payouts, only getting involved when commissions hit custom thresholds. All records sync back to ThriveCart for auditing.

Sales Ops

Launch flash sales without IT help. Create approval templates for discounts - when reps submit in ThriveCart, it routes through legal/compliance automatically.

Affiliate Managers

Reduce "Where's my money?" emails. Give partners real-time approval status via ApproveThis portals (no login required) while keeping payout data in ThriveCart.

The Unspoken Advantage

Most approval tools require everyone to have accounts. With ApproveThis + ThriveCart:

- Clients approve contracts via email
- Affiliates check status via portal
- Legal team uses their existing inbox

No added license fees. No user management hell. Just fewer people bugging you about password resets.

When to Steer Clear

This integration isn't magic fairy dust. Don't bother if:

- You have single-approver processes (just use ThriveCart' basic features)
- Your team rejects all technology built after 2012
- You enjoy being human middleware between systems
