Students & access

How students purchase

The Stripe Checkout or PayPal flow students see.

For Paywall courses, students check out through Stripe Checkout or PayPal — whichever payment provider you have connected to that course. Here's what they see.

  1. They land on your course page and see a preview (description, modules, any free / preview lessons).
  2. They click Enroll or Buy course.
  3. Stripe Checkout or PayPal opens in their browser — hosted by the provider, with your branding.
  4. They enter their payment details and confirm.
  5. The provider sends them back to your course page, now with full access.

Receipts

Stripe and PayPal automatically send each student a receipt by email. You can customize the Stripe receipt template inside your Stripe dashboard; PayPal receipts come from your PayPal Business account.

Failed payments

If a payment fails (declined card, etc.), the student stays on your course page without access. They can try again with a different card or with the other provider if both are offered.
