To initiate the process of accepting payments for your courses, it's essential to establish a connection between your LearnWorlds site and a payment gateway. In LearnWorlds, we support three Payment Gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, and Shopify.
In this article, we will see an overview of the available payment methods, and helpful tips, to help you start receiving payments.
Supported Payment Gateways
1. Go to Settings → Financial → Payment Gateway.
2. Select one of the supported Payment Gateways.
Depending on the Payment Gateway you want to use, you can follow the instructions in the following articles:
You can accept payments from popular payment methods via Stripe, like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, and Afterpay/Clearpay, and also widespread in some countries/regions services such as iDEAL, Przelewy24, Bancontact, and Boleto.
Sandbox is used for testing purposes. A test environment before launching your school is ideal!
You can connect multiple payment gateways with your LearnWorlds school. However, if you choose to connect Shopify as your Payment gateway, you cannot connect any of the additional Payment Gateway options we offer.External/Additional Payment Options
In case you want to use another Payment Gateway, you can accept payments outside of the platform, and each time you see an incoming payment, you can proceed with a manual enrollment.
- In case your Payment Gateway supports HTML buttons, you can also add these to your school's pages.
- If your chosen payment gateway integrates with Zapier, you can use it to automate the enrollment process. If you are currently in the Learning Center plans or higher, you can also consider our API to automate the process.
Keep in mind that:
- Subscription-based sales are supported only through the Stripe payment gateway. For more information regarding the Subscription Plans page, click here.
- You can also create payment plans and sell your courses or bundles with Installments (for Pro Trainer plans or higher), available via Stripe.
- You can create your installment button through your PayPal payment gateway.
| We suggest you always make a test purchase after setting up your payment method to see that everything is working as expected. |
