--- title: "Creating a Payment Page and Editing Your Default Payment Page" description: "How to use (and expire) Teachery's original payment page template." url: https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/212-creating-a-payment-page-and-editing-your-default-payment-page collection: "General" updated: 2026-08-07 language: en --- # Creating a Payment Page and Editing Your Default Payment Page How to use (and expire) Teachery's original payment page template. Think of _Payment Pages_ as the main entry point to your course. You can create as many as you like and they can be set to free or a one-time/fixed or recurring payment plan. If you want to sell your course for **free**, simply create a new payment page, set the price to $0, and you're good to go. > **Info:** This help doc is dedicated to our **original** payment page template. Our new, more powerful payment pages for Teachery [_Courses_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/241-introducing-the-payment-page-builder.md) and [standalone _Products_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/229-quickly-sell-a-digital-download-with-teachery.md#heading-0-using-the-payment-page-builder) are here. Less design control but far more functionality, including _Stripe Tax_. You'll need to connect a [Stripe account](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/211-using-teacherys-built-in-payment-method-stripe.md) to quickly and easily sell your online courses. Your students/customers **will never know Stripe exists**. Stripe is simply an industry-leading payment processor.  Once you create a Payment Page (more step-by-step info below) simply grab the URL from the _Actions_ menu on the page and share it with your potential customers! ## 💳 What currencies do our Payment Pages support? We support multiple currency options that you can choose when creating a new payment page OR when editing any existing payment page. > **Warning:** **Important**: this requires that you’ve already [connected your Stripe account](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/211-using-teacherys-built-in-payment-method-stripe.md). If not, you will need to create **any** existing payment pages from scratch in order to change the currency. The currency options we currently offer are: - $ - US Dollar - € - Euro - MXN - Mexican Peso - £ - Pound Sterling - ₹ - Indian Rupee - AU$ - Australian Dollar - NZ$ - New Zealand Dollar - C$ - Canadian Dollar - DKK - Danish Krone - SEK - Swedish Krona - ¥ - Japanese Yen > **Warning:** Once you create a recurring payment page you cannot change the currency. If you need to change the currency you'll need to create a NEW recurring payment page from scratch. You CAN change the currency of a fixed (1-time) payment page. To **change the currency** of an existing payment page, navigate to the edit view of that payment page and, beside the price you’ve set, the currency should be a dropdown field from which you can open and select a different currency. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/mnIJfWenPiahU4IIsGE4LXf4jWClw9phJcgLn480RUx660BsFmMBXuNVFDjec8Ik0JGFA9N2ehH.png) ## 🧰 What features are included with our Payment Pages? > **Warning:** Checkout **redirects** or **post-checkout offers**: We do **not** currently enable the setting of redirects after checkout. This [functionality/feature](https://roadmap.teachery.co/featurerequests/l23aDZaCHYgL67ns9nChypVz57wE0UIZ0O5EfeqDYXpbTlCRwWl8R9wxrkgcDixGJVf7rl) is currently being considered. In the meantime, consider making the most of our [upsell/add-on/bundle](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/176-use-upsells-to-sell-a-course-bundle.md) functionalities. [See more below](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/212-creating-a-payment-page-and-editing-your-default-payment-page.md#heading-8-what-to-expect-after-checkout) regarding how checkout workflow currently functions. - Ability to sell fixed price ($20) or recurring pricing ($20/mo OR $200/yr) - Customizable text areas - Logo image area - Registration countdown timer - Checkout icons - Promo codes - Upsells - Optional shipping fields - Optional additional input field - Optional payment options - Optional terms and privacy checkbox - Adding your own custom code - Conversion tracking code area (for things like Facebook Ads) - Email notifications every time you make a course sale ## 💰 How to charge and collect tax Our original Payment Page template does **not** support automatic tax calculation or collection. Our new [_Payment Page Builder_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/241-introducing-the-payment-page-builder.md) however does enable use via a [_Stripe Tax_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/242-using-stripe-tax-in-payment-pages.md) integration. If you’d still prefer to use our original Payment Page template, the easiest way to handle charging tax or VAT is to add it into the total price of your Payment Page (ex: instead of charging $100, charge $123 \[$100+$23 for VAT\] and mention VAT is included). Then, work with a bookkeeper or accountant to help you properly file your taxes based on your Stripe payment reports. Please note that Teachery is **not** a _Merchant of Record_ (nor tax experts 😅). You remain responsible for all tax collection, compliance, remittance, etc. ## ⚙ How to set up a FIXED price (1-time) Payment Page The video below will walk you through creating a fixed price (ex: $10) Payment Page and all the features we offer within it. Use the chapter marker dots on the video to jump to different sections! ## ⏩ How to set up a RECURRING price (monthly or annual) Payment Page The video below will walk you through creating a recurring price (ex: $10/month or $120/year) Payment Page. 💡 We have [an additional help doc for Recurring Payment Pages](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/213-creating-payment-plans-or-recurring-payments.md). ## ✅ How to show multiple payment options on a single Payment Page Let's say you have a $200 USD course and you want to offer 2 different payment options on the **same Payment Page**: 1. The one-time payment option of $200 2. A $20 per month for 10 months recurring payment option All you need to do is **create both Payment Pages** (the one-time Payment Page and the separate Recurring Payment Page). Then, on the main Payment Page you want to send to your customers, click the "**Add Payment Options**" orange button to toggle ON this feature. > **Success:** Once turned on, you'll then check the boxes ✅ of the Payment Pages **you want to display** to your customer (any pages left unchecked will NOT be displayed). ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/pVSNtmB7QE82NFz38q7wbQ8udjmdDnA2HWkZkeZeHBfFDDboZfycnTOOKUsTM3AcdG7SiXuhaWQ.gif) When you're happy with your selections, click the Preview page icon in the top right of the page editor and view the Payment Page as your customer will see it. When you scroll to the buying section, you'll see the options they can select: ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/RgLVish7N9AX21rJbGV8MmExMWwSLHiKHIuxQXG5pMpH6IStmaDJcpGvoSly997QO9DStp13Jzu.jpg) And there you go! You can show as MANY options as you like on a Payment Page, including different currencies or even payment options that include higher ticket items as well. ## 🙅 How to EXPIRE a Payment Page so no one can purchase your course (and how to un-expire it!) Related help doc: [Expire or Redirect Payment Pages](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/215-expire-or-redirect-a-payment-page.md) Our built-in registration countdown timer gives you the ability to not only create some urgency to purchase your course but once the timer counts down completely, your Payment Page will be set to expire automatically. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/hhNMAgeK7Bgz0EETGXEYg4NfYKpc9EK6ocPsdCP6aWZlYev8fw7cdhmWJaXe9X52CrPCcT55dgb.jpg) ### 🔥 Hot Tip: You can manually expire any Payment Page If you want to keep a Payment Page but don't want someone to be able to use it to purchase your course, you can manually expire the page by turning on the registration countdown bar and setting it to ANY DATE IN THE PAST. Read more about [Expiring Payment Pages](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/215-expire-or-redirect-a-payment-page.md) here. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/htCLVDNjZxGq1gEL9UNLkz6aWqpKpkasiPu38ilfuRYwTw4R9xpOkQ9DlrOJqC817gSIfiFMRG0.png) ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/JJooMxDhL1g3yVjnIUjRHqyQxsatrXHwjDRa0FZj53CKyZ9txyypWGSNnJPWXnnA1PIvHV8Sjxx.png) ### 🔄 Reactivate (or “un-expire”) a Payment Page To make the payment page accessible to users again, go to the edit view of your payment page and simply remove the Countdown Timer or set the timer’s date to a future date. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/kVn16akbpz6eTtsNyn9f4fkN9dLF4rwphsdPwABnhz5rvdQMIgZMmmPQLvcjasxBhzOfukIrIcg.png) ## 🎨 How to style your Payment Pages Watch the video below to learn how to use our Style Editor to jazz-up your awesome Payment Pages! > **Warning:** Note that this method only applies to payment pages built with our original Payment Page template, not those built with the [_Payment Page Builder_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/241-introducing-the-payment-page-builder.md). ## 🛍 What to expect after a Checkout Currently, the way our system is designed, users who successfully complete a checkout will immediately receive a [_welcome email_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/152-setting-up-your-welcome-email-and-course-completed-email.md#heading-0-1-course-welcome-emails). > **Info:** **Important**: Read more [**here**](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/152-setting-up-your-welcome-email-and-course-completed-email.md#heading-2-what-you-and-customers-can-expect) about how onboarding and _welcome emails_ function in different contexts. Those who are **completely new** to Teachery and buy a **course** will be directed to the _set password_ page to complete the creation of their Teachery account/profile after successful checkout. **Existing** Teachery users who are not already logged in will be prompted to log in with their existing Teachery credentials (the same credentials are used for all courses). The next stop for all users is your **course overview** page (a.k.a dashboard). > **Info:** **Post-checkout Upsells**: We do **not** currently enable the adding of upsells/tripwires **after** checkout. Until we [introduce a change](https://roadmap.teachery.co/featurerequests/l23aDZaCHYgL67ns9nChypVz57wE0UIZ0O5EfeqDYXpbTlCRwWl8R9wxrkgcDixGJVf7rl) to the existing workflow (this is a complex one, bear with us 😅), we recommend making the most of the _welcome email_, course overview page, and in place of post-checkout offers, making the most of our [upsell/add-on/bundle](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/176-use-upsells-to-sell-a-course-bundle.md) functionalities. We also recommend using the first lesson as an introductory/welcome space e.g. with tips on how to make the most of your course and Teachery interface, etc. ## 📌 **Recommendation:** Test Your Payment Pages! We cannot stress this recommendation enough. If you want to see the **exact** experience (you and) your customers will have (and fully test your setup), purchasing your own course will be useful. You will get to see both sides of the transaction and ensure everything is working as it should. **(Psst! Using our new _Payment Page Builder_? Jump** [**here**](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/240-creating-a-payment-page-with-our-builder.md#heading-7-recommendation-test-your-payment-pages)**.)** > **Warning:** When you do attempt a real purchase through your payment page, **switch to another browser or incognito mode** and be sure to use an email address that is **NOT** your course-creating Teachery account email address (use, for example, any other personal email address you might have). - While editing your Payment Page, click the **Actions** menu - Click the **Copy Page URL** - Open that Page URL in an **Incognito** or **Private Window** - Go through the entire checkout process! If you want to [refund your purchase](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/129-revoking-access-refunds-deleting-customers-and-other-customer-actions.md#heading-4-refund-course-payment) at any point, you can do so via your test user’s _Customer Profile_ via the _Customers_ page. > **Error:** _Stripe_ (or your chosen payment processor) will, like in any standard transaction, still charge you fees and refunding does not reverse these. Instead of making a real payment, you can create yourself a 100%-off promo code just for testing purposes (be sure to make it a tricky promo code and/or consider limiting it to one use). But we still **strongly recommend placing an order with a real payment** to ensure welcome emails, Stripe receipts, refunds, etc. are all rendering/working as they should. ## 👉 Related help docs... ### Introducing the Payment Page Builder Our new, more powerful payment pages for [courses](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/241-introducing-the-payment-page-builder.md) and standalone products (coming soon) are here. 🤩 Less design control but far more functionality, including _Stripe Tax_. ### Taking payment outside of Teachery If you sell your course outside of Teachery using Gumroad, Thrivecart, Lemon Squeezy, PayPal, etc, [please read this help doc](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/217-taking-payment-outside-of-teachery.md). ### Recurring payment plans If you want to learn more about [recurring payment pages click here](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/213-creating-payment-plans-or-recurring-payments.md). ### Selling digital product downloads A [quick setup guide](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/229-quickly-sell-a-digital-download-with-teachery.md) if you’re just simply seeking to sell a digital download. ### Adding Upsells to payment pages We have an entire guide to [creating Upsells](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/175-introduction-to-upsells-and-course-bundles.md) and adding them to your payment pages. ### Zapier, Pabbly, or Make automations We have integrations with [Zapier](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/137-integration-with-zapier.md), [Pabbly](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/95-integration-with-pabbly.md), and [Make](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/96-integration-with-make.md) to help you create loads of automations before or after a course purchase.
