Payments

Payments for your online school: cards, bank links and invoices

Buyers pay the way they are used to: by card, through online banking or on invoice. Connect Stripe, PayPal, EveryPay, Montonio, MakeCommerce or bank transfer, and the money goes to your account.

Payments overview in SelfGrow

Which payment provider should you choose?

It depends on who you are and how your students pay. Most schools start with one provider and add a second later.

Private tutor or teacher

A few students a month, and no wish to pay a monthly fee.

MakeCommerce has no fixed monthly fee: you pay only for successful payments, and students can pay by online banking or card. Bank transfer costs nothing if you do not mind confirming payments by hand.

Expert with an international audience

You need to start selling quickly, without contracts or technical setup.

Stripe Connect is set up in a few minutes inside SelfGrow and takes cards from all over the world. PayPal covers buyers who do not pay by card.

Online school in the Baltics

Steady sales, so a lower fee per payment matters.

Montonio’s monthly plans bring a low price per bank payment. EveryPay works well if your bank already offers an e-commerce agreement.

Corporate training

Companies pay on invoice, not by card.

Bank transfer using the invoice details. You can combine it with any other provider for private buyers.
