What it does
Selling courses with LearnPress means you need a way to take card payments that fits into the course checkout. This add-on brings Authorize.net into that flow. Learners enter their card details on your WordPress site instead of being sent to another page, so the checkout stays on your domain from start to finish. Payment processing relies on the encryption and fraud detection that Authorize.net provides, which keeps sensitive card data handled by the gateway.
Once a payment succeeds, the add-on updates the order status and enrolls the student in the course they bought, so you don't have to grant access by hand. It accepts major cards, including Visa, MasterCard and American Express, and works with multiple currencies for sellers in the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia. You can also adjust the payment form so it matches the look of the rest of your site. It requires LearnPress to be active.
Best for
- Online course sites built with LearnPress
- Educators who already use an Authorize.net merchant account
- Course sellers in the US, Canada, UK, Europe or Australia
