Where Checkout Champ users get stuck
Public reviews of Checkout Champ are few, so both points below rest on its own pricing page.
The bill rises with every sale
Checkout Champ charges a monthly fee plus a share of gross sales, so the bill grows with volume. 3DS, Fraud Manager and Account Updater are separate paid plugins, and once the setup period ends an account manager is an extra monthly charge. ElasticFunnels takes 0.5% on orders through an EF-run gateway and nothing on external carts, and MID routing, the call center and subscriptions come with every plan.

A sales call before you can try it
Checkout Champ's pricing page pitches its Growth plan at stores already doing $50K+ a month, and a free trial is not publicly stated, so most buyers start with a conversation. Our plans are on the pricing page, and the 14-day trial starts without a card.

What Checkout Champ is built for
A serious ecommerce platform, centred on two things.
Konnektive's billing engine
Built on the Konnektive engine, with ATRI routing and cascades across a very wide set of gateways.
Storefronts and multi-store
A storefront builder, multi-store management and currency conversion for ecommerce catalogs.
ElasticFunnels covers the routing side for funnels on paid traffic: a weighted split across your NMI MIDs with rules and a daily cap per MID, on a plan priced by traffic with 0.5% on EF-run gateways only.
The order your warehouse opens in Shopify
Change the checkout, keep the shipping.
Checkout Champ and ElasticFunnels both take the payment off Shopify's checkout and can hand the finished order back to Shopify, so the warehouse works as before. Where the buyer pays is the difference: Checkout Champ can replace the checkout of your Shopify store, while ElasticFunnels runs the checkout on its own funnel pages, the ones your ads point to.
Where Checkout Champ goes further: its Shopify plugin can pull your Shopify products into its CRM and bring tracking numbers back once Shopify ships. ElasticFunnels sends orders in one direction, into Shopify. Both hold upsells so they reach Shopify with the main order: Checkout Champ until the thank-you page or a set hold, ElasticFunnels until the buyer has gone a few minutes without buying again, or your maximum wait is up. See how order sync works.

Checkout Champ alternative FAQ
Is ElasticFunnels a Checkout Champ alternative?
Yes. Both build funnels and route payments across merchant accounts with a call center. ElasticFunnels adds split tests under one URL and sale-level attribution, with 0.5% on EF-run gateways only, instead of 1% of gross sales on Growth.
What is Checkout Champ?
Checkout Champ is an ecommerce checkout, funnel and storefront builder that runs on the Konnektive billing engine, priced as a monthly fee plus a share of gross sales. ElasticFunnels covers the checkout and MID routing for funnels on paid traffic, and adds split tests under one URL.

ElasticFunnels starts at $97 a month, with 0.5% on EF-run gateways only.
Does Checkout Champ have a free trial?
A free trial is not publicly stated, and the pricing page aims the Growth plan at stores with $50K or more in monthly sales. ElasticFunnels has a 14-day free trial with no card, on every plan.
Is Checkout Champ a CRM?
Partly. Checkout Champ has an order and customer CRM on the Konnektive billing engine, next to its checkout and funnel builder; pipelines or custom objects are not publicly stated. ElasticFunnels has a built-in CRM with custom entities, fields, pipelines and stages, and the call center works from the same customer record.
Which payment gateways does Checkout Champ support?
Checkout Champ says it connects to over 270 gateways, including NMI, Authorize.net, Stripe and PayPal, and routes the first sale across them with ATRI. ElasticFunnels takes payments through Stripe, NMI, PayPal, Klarna and Authorize.net, plus Shop Pay, and spreads first sales by weight across your NMI MIDs with rules and a daily cap per MID.
Is Checkout Champ the same as Konnektive?
Checkout Champ says it licensed the Konnektive engine and built a new product on it for ecommerce, with a funnel and storefront builder.
Is Checkout Champ hard to set up?
Checkout Champ's pricing page includes a 60-day onboarding period, and an account manager after that costs extra each month. In ElasticFunnels you paste a page URL into the AI builder to clone it, and the Academy tutorials take you through the landing page, the order bump and one-click upsells step by step.
How does Checkout Champ split testing work?
Visitors go to a split slug and are sent to variant pages, each with its own slug, by percentage. ElasticFunnels serves every variant under one URL.
Do I lose Meta tracking when my funnel sits in front of Shopify?
Not when the sale is sent server-side. ElasticFunnels sends the purchase and each upsell to Meta through the Conversions API, tied to the ad that brought the buyer. The pages and checkout run on your own domain, and Shopify receives the paid order by sync for fulfillment.
How do I move from Checkout Champ?
Clone your pages with the AI builder, connect your MIDs and routing rules, then send new orders through ElasticFunnels and compare on sales before moving subscriptions.
