How to Create a Paid Webinar

Create a paid webinar that attendees pay for at registration. WebinarNinja integrates with Stripe, our secure payment processor.

Stripe is PCI Service Provider Level 1 certified, the highest certification in the payments industry.

Instructions:
1. Connect your Stripe account. Refer to this guide for more information.
2. Set up your paid webinar.

How it works

Here's how attendees pay to register for a paid webinar:

Attendees complete the registration form with their personal information and credit card details. Their credit card is automatically charged, and a receipt is sent. There's nothing else you need to do!

Payments appear immediately in your Stripe account and will be transferred to your connected bank within 1-2 business days. Transfers can occur daily if there are payments.

Attendees also receive a separate email confirming their registration. The email includes webinar details and the link to access the webinar when it starts.

Note: Attendees for paid webinars are limited to your attendee limit. This ensures no one pays for a webinar they can't access.

After your webinar ends, registrations will reopen for the webinar replay unless you choose to disable the replay.

Benefits of Paid Webinars:

Generate Revenue: Monetize your content by charging for webinar access, creating a new revenue stream for your business.
High-Quality Attendees: Paid webinars attract serious attendees who are genuinely interested in your content, leading to more engaged and interactive sessions.
Professionalism and Credibility: Offering paid webinars enhances the perceived value of your content and establishes your brand as a professional and credible source.

To Create a Paid Webinar

1. From My Webinars, click Create New Webinar.

2. Select the type of webinar you want, such as Live.

3. Fill in the webinar details:

Enter a title.
Choose a date and start time.
Set the duration.

Note: You can change the default timezone in Account Settings.

4. For "Event is", select Paid, then set your price.

5. Click Create Webinar. You're all set!

Changing a Free Webinar to Paid

Note: This only works for upcoming webinars. Past webinars cannot be changed.

1. Find the webinar you want to change in My Webinars. Click Options to the right of the webinar title, then click Edit Webinar.

2. Next to "Event is," select Paid and set your price. WebinarNinja will automatically use the default currency in your Stripe account.

Note: Charging in a currency different from your default is not supported now.

3. Click Update Webinar. It's ready to go!

Notes:

Offering a discounted price or multiple pricing levels is not supported at this time.
To grant free access to a paid webinar, manually add registrants. Click the +Add Registrants button underneath the webinar title. The registrant will then have to confirm their registration via email to get their webinar access link.

Using Other Payment Processors

We do not support other payment processors at this time. If you prefer to use another payment processor, such as PayPal or Kajabi, here’s a workaround:

1. Create a free webinar and set it as Private.

2. Set up a custom checkout page with your preferred payment processor.

3. Have attendees pay for your webinar through your custom checkout page.

4. After someone pays, you have three options:

Send them the link to your private webinar and have them register.
Send them to a custom registration page where the registration form for your webinar is embedded.
Manually add registrants to your webinar.

5. Once registered, they will receive a unique link to access the webinar via email.
