To begin selling courses under your Pathwright account, simply connect (or create) a free Stripe account. Stripe powers most payments on the Internet (including Amazon.com) and includes everything you need to manage payments, billing, subscriptions, and more.

Not selling a course? Simply don't add a price or subscription plan, and they'll be free to take.

Individual pricing

You can offer any individual course for a one-time purchase price in just a few seconds. Here's how to change the price of a course.

Or, offer the course for free, publicly or privately (normal fees apply).

Multiple Cohorts with tiered pricing (e.g.,

You can create multiple cohorts for any course to offer different pricing for different cohorts. For instance, you might offer:

  • A free preview Cohort

  • A mid-priced cohort for self-paced learning.

  • A higher tier price for learning on a schedule with feedback from an expert.​

Subscription plans

You can offer open access to one or all of your courses through a monthly or annual subscription. (For a great example, see Krista King's online math courses.)

All the courses you include in the subscription plan will be available for an automatically renewed monthly or annual subscription fee. See how to set up a subscription plan under offer a monthly or annual subscription plan. 

Subscription + individual pricing

You can mix and match to have some cohorts available by subscription and/or by individual purchase as well. That way, your members can can choose to subscribe to access their courses (and any others in the plan) for the life of their subscription, or they can purchase just the courses they need with a one-time payment.

Member-created cohorts

Want to offer your courses to teams, classrooms, or partners to take together and purchase in one transaction? Use Pathwright's unique member-created cohorts feature to offer seat-based pricing, which enables anyone to purchase your course for their group quickly and without any setup from your team.

Need to sell courses outside of Pathwright?

Do you already have a sales page and checkout managed outside your Pathwright school? No problem. See how to accept payment outside of Pathwright. 

Offer Privately, for Members, or Publicly

You can offer courses publicly, by direct invitation only, or by inviting people to become members of your school in order to self-enroll. See how to control all these visibility settings here. Almost any combination of these settings is possible. 

Offer a Discount

Want to promote your courses or give certain people discounted or free access? Offer discounts via discount codes. 

Recurring Installment Payments

For installment plans (e.g., 10 payments of $10), many customers use Moonclerk or Stripe Checkout alongside Pathwright. Here's how that works with Moonclerk:

  1. Make each course public and available for purchase for a one-time fee on Pathwright, using Stripe to collect those payments. 

  2. Set up a Moonclerk account and link to that as an alternate payment option on the public course registration page. You can add a hyperlink in the cohort description or course description.
    (For an invite-only course, you'll need to find another way to link prospective learners to the Moonclerk payment option.)

  3. Create discount codes for free access that you can use to let clients bypass the one-time fee and pay by installment instead.

  4. (Optionally) set up a "Zap" on Zapier that will automatically send a registration link and free discount code to those who have initiated payment for the course through Moonclerk. Here's an example: https://zapier.com/app/min/7619/start. You could also do this manually, but a Zap is recommended for efficiency with larger cohorts. You also have the option to append the discount code to the invite link so learners will automatically get free access without manually entering a code.

Clients will click the link to Moonclerk, pay the first installment, and receive the email with the invitation link. Upon clicking the link in the email, they will be prompted to enroll in the course for free. If they fail in their payments, you can easily revoke their access to the course or to the school.
