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.
To start receiving payments for your courses, you need to connect your LearnWorlds site to a payment gateway. LearnWorlds supports three payment gateways: Stripe, PayPal, and Shopify. This feature enables you to manage payments securely and efficiently while offering diverse payment options to your learners.
In this article, we will see an overview of the available payment methods, how to connect external payment options, and important notes and tips.
Enabling Payment gateway
First, you need to connect your payment gateway with your school,
1. Go to Settings → Financial → Payment Gateway.
2. Select one of the supported Payment Gateways.
Select a Payment Gateway
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
If you prefer using 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.
