To Integrate Stripe with Your Courses
To set up a paid course, you will need a Stripe account. We've chosen Stripe as our go-to payment partner for its reliability and security. Visit their website here to learn more.
Step 1:Click "Integrations" on the left sidebar.
Step 2: Click "Connect with Stripe" and log into your account.
If you don’t have a Stripe account yet, create one under New To Stripe? Enter your email address and select your country from the drop-down, then click "Create Account With This Email."
Step 3: Activate your Stripe account. Complete your registration by clicking the link in the yellow notification at the top of the page.
You will be taken to a Stripe page to fill in some information.
Provide all the required information to activate your account. Otherwise, you will not be able to accept payments for your Course.
Once your Stripe account is connected, you will see it under Known Stripe Accounts.
Now you’re ready to set up a paid course!
Notes:
- Stripe fees: Creating an account is free. Stripe charges a small transaction fee of 2.9% + 30¢ per successful card charge- a small price to pay for easy payment processing. There are no setup fees, monthly fees, or hidden fees.
- Business website: Stripe will require a website URL to complete your business information and activate your account. You can share your website or your social media profile (business profiles are preferred). You will want a permanent URL. It is not recommended to use the registration page link of your course, because it changes with each course you create.
- Disconnecting your Stripe account: You can revoke CourseNinja access from your Stripe account at any time from the Settings > Authorized applications area of your Stripe Dashboard.
