# Introducing the Payment Page Builder

Get to know our more powerful builder for checkout pages

Our new payment pages are sleeker and more powerful than ever. 🤩 This new checkout experience is especially suited for [digital product downloads](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/229-quickly-sell-a-digital-download-with-teachery.md#heading-0-using-the-payment-page-builder).

> **Info:** Our _Payment Page Builder_ is new! If you spot any bugs or have any questions, please use our support chat. This help doc is itself a work-in-progress and will evolve over the coming months. We welcome your feedback and questions! 🤓

This _Payment Page Builder_ differs to our [original template](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/212-creating-a-payment-page-and-editing-your-default-payment-page.md) in that it has **far more functionality but less design/styling customisation**. The image below shows you how we indicate the difference between payment pages in the same course that either use our original template or our new _Payment Page Builder_ (labelled as ”new”). 😉

We have plenty of tips to share so we’ve broken our _Payment Page Builder_ guide into multiple help docs, to make for easier (and less overwhelming) navigating. Below, we cover some important things to be aware of and to give some thought to. Once you’ve reviewed this info, feel free to jump into the other help docs (links at the [bottom of this page](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/241-introducing-the-payment-page-builder.md#heading-7-more-important-help-docs))!

## Getting Started with the Payment Page Builder

To make the build of your new payment page easier, you’ll want to be aware of and consider a few things upfront.

That said, some of the below might only make more sense once you’re actively building a payment page but it’s still good to be aware of these things. 😉

### Important to Know

1.  If you decide to use our Stripe integration, please note that you cannot fully set up a priced payment page until you [connect a Stripe account](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/211-using-teachery-s-built-in-payment-method-stripe.md). We recommend not creating/sharing the final version of your payment page until you’ve connected the two tools.
    
2.  If you’re looking to sell a digital product download (or a coaching session) **only** and **not** a course, you’ll want to create a Teachery [_Product_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/229-quickly-sell-a-digital-download-with-teachery.md) and not a _Course_.
    
3.  We strongly recommend you thoroughly test your payment pages by making real purchases. Please read more [here](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/240-creating-a-payment-page-with-our-builder.md#heading-7-recommendation-test-your-payment-pages).
    
4.  The new _Payment Page Builder_ comes with a lot more settings so make use of the **Back to Editor/Return to Payment Page** option at the very top of the course’s left sidebar menu to navigate between the deeper settings of a particular payment page and your course’s other pages.
    

![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/U5eMGGuw4KHZ1Jkwxr0akrss9t0AaH73CeTRvIpayxPGrlsRV2dYqGpQZT9VS8ysAcyYKENHnun.png)

4.  Need to **rename** a payment page or change its URL? You can do this in the payment page’s _Settings_ tab (and then jump into _Page Settings_). We recommend naming it as clearly/uniquely as possible - that will make it easier to identify/find as you move through Teachery e.g. _Yoga Guide (Early Bird Special)_ or _Yoga Club (Member Plans)_.
    
5.  Need to **duplicate or delete** a payment page? While in the edit view of the payment page, click the **Back to Editor** option at the top of the left sidebar menu (see point above). Then, hover over the name of your payment page in the left sidebar menu until you see a pencil (edit) icon. Clicking that icon will reveal a list of additional actions.
    

> **Warning:** **Please note** when duplicating an **entire** course, theme, or product (that makes use of our new payment pages) that **not all settings will be carried over** (e.g. pricing/variants, custom checkout fields, files) to the new course/ theme/product’s payment pages. Use step (5) as a workaround (that is, copy just the payment page itself). Attached **files** will **never** copy over as files are individually linked to the course/product they’re housed in.

5.  Be sure to also browse our list of [_Future Improvements_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/241-introducing-the-payment-page-builder.md#heading-6-future-improvements) at the very bottom of this help doc to ensure you’re aware of what is or isn’t currently possible with this version of the _Payment Page Builder_.
    

### Prices and Payment Options

> **Info:** We currently only support the following currencies: **$** - US Dollar, **€** - Euro, **MXN** - Mexican Peso, **£** - Pound Sterling, **₹** - Indian Rupee, **AU$** - Australian Dollar, **NZ$** - New Zealand Dollar, **C$** - Canadian Dollar, **DKK** - Danish Krone, **SEK** - Swedish Krona, **¥** - Japanese Yen.

Give some thought to what payment options you will be offering your customers. For example:

1.  Will you be charging a fixed, one-time price? If yes, will you offer your customers an instalment/payment plan if they’re unable to pay the one-time price? Alternatively, maybe you want to offer a subscription? Here are the possible combinations for when you get to the _Product > Details_ tab of your payment page:
    
    1.  A one-time price and **only allowing for a once-off payment** → select _Single price_ as your _Pricing type_ and then _One-time_ as your _Billing model_.
        
    2.  A one-time price and offering customers **one or more instalment plan(s)** → select _Multiple price_ as your _Pricing type_, save and then jump to the _Variants_ tab to set up the one-time and instalment options.
        
    3.  A recurring subscription with only **one** subscription payment plan → select _Single price_ as your _Pricing type_ and then _Payment Plan_ as your _Billing model_.
        
    4.  A recurring subscription with **multiple** subscription payment plans → select _Multiple price_ as your _Pricing type_, save and then jump to the _Variants_ tab to set up each of your recurring/instalment options.
        
        > **Info:** [Learn more here](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/213-creating-payment-plans-or-recurring-payments.md#heading-0-how-recurring-payment-plans-work) about how recurring payment plans or subscriptions work.
        
2.  If you’d prefer, you can also enable your customers to submit what they’re willing to pay and you can define a minimum you’re willing to accept. (During setup, in the _Product > Details_ tab, be sure to select **Pay what you want** as your _Billing Model_.)  
      
    **Important to know** about _Pay what you want_ (**PWYW**):
    
    1.  It’s only intended for **once-off** payments. If you have a recurring subscription/membership model, we recommend defining a few options you’d be willing to offer your customers and setting those up as different recurring payment plans in the _Product > Variants_ tab of your payment page.
        
    2.  [Promo codes](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/216-setting-up-promo-codes-or-coupons.md#heading-4-how-teachery-promo-codes-work) **apply up to the full amount** inserted by the customer (and not the PWYW minimum that you set).
        
    3.  PWYW does **not** apply to upsells i.e. a customer will need to pay the price of the upsell and any amount they insert as PWYW will be an additional cost to them.
        
3.  Want to make use of **course affiliates**? Affiliates essentially work the same way as with our traditional payment pages. See more [here](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/183-creating-and-managing-affiliates-for-your-courses.md).
    

### Payment Methods

There are several payment options available to you. You can select any of the following:

-   accept cards only, **OR**
    
-   accept cards _and_ Apple Pay/Google Pay, **OR**
    
-   accept multiple payment methods.
    

> **Warning:** Please note that _Stripe_ may charge higher fees depending on the payment method used by your customer, including whether they’re using an international card or not.
>
> Please also note that _Stripe_ may only show payment methods that **support particular criteria** e.g. a minimum amount, currency, customer location, device, and/or payment type (one-time versus recurring).

![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/orIQMarVEqBZpBWXYCG1HJ2YjNab0NGHo9ZmAqTOmA5LDGO1UvxyIF2hMCtwK6NpNG1hb1o635M.png)

**Apple Pay or Google Pay**

Note that if you choose the second option above and your customers want to use Apple Pay or Google Pay, they need to be using **eligible devices** in order to do so. (Your payment page also has to have a price(s) that is greater than zero in order for these options to display.)

Customers who do **not** have Apple Pay or Google Pay set up on their devices will not be able to use/view these options during checkout, **only the card payment option**.

**PayPal** ❌

Please note that although PayPal is a permitted payment method on Stripe for those with accounts located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, **PayPal isn’t available to platforms like Teachery** (without us building a full, direct integration - this is on our [roadmap](https://roadmap.teachery.co/en/feature-requests?id=69774e62ab0126e55d3114b9)).

**Multiple Payment Methods**

Currently, the **only additional payment methods** (via _Stripe_) that we have **enabled by default** are pictured below. We will be introducing more over time based on demand (let us know in the support chat what you’re wanting to offer to your customers.)

As mentioned above, _Stripe_ may only show payment methods that support particular criteria e.g. a minimum amount, currency, customer location, device, and/or payment type (one-time versus recurring). This is especially true when you choose to select this “Accept multiple payment methods” option e.g. Apple Pay will only be visible on iPhones.

> **Info:** **Update (July 2026):** Please note that _AfterPay_ and _Klarna_ are unavailable. This, and any other payment method excluded from the pictured list below, will be revisited/introduced at a future date as we’re currently fully focused on the build of our new, more powerful [Teachery 4.0](https://www.teachery.co/lifetime-retirement#:~:text=What%E2%80%99s%20New%20in%20Teachery%204.0) platform - with a (highly-requested) _PayPal_ integration to be introduced by year’s end.

If you enable **multiple payment methods** in your payment page and would like to offer/accept _Link_ (pictured above) for **recurring payments/subscriptions**, double-check this method is enabled in the [_Payment Method_ settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods) of your connected Stripe account:

-   Set the _Type_ filter to **Your connected platforms**.
    
-   Find the _Payment configuration_ called **_Billing Payments_** for _Teachery_ and **click into it**.
    
-   Scroll through the list of **(eligible)** payment methods and **Enable** as needed.

### Customer Information

1.  What **information will you want to gather** from your customers? The bare-minimum required fields are a First Name, Last Name, and Email Address. If you make use of _Stripe Tax_, **additional required fields will automatically display**, as Stripe requires certain fields to calculate/track tax (please visit [this page](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/242-using-stripe-tax-in-payment-pages.md#:~:text=payment%20page\(s\).-,Checkout%20Fields,-Note%20that%20once) for more info). Please note that, currently, any custom checkout fields you add, will **not** apply to checkouts for **gift purchases** (those have their own set of dedicated and fixed fields).
    
2.  What **terms and conditions** will you need to communicate to customers and have them accept? (During setup, in the _Checkout > Checkout Fields_ tab, you can add a _Terms_ field and link to your terms and conditions - mark it as _Required_ to ensure customers accept them as part of checkout.) On a related note, here’s a handy help doc about [GDPR](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/166-gdpr-compliance-and-adding-your-own-privacy-policy-and-terms-to-teachery-payment-pages.md). Please note that, currently, any _Terms_ field added here will **not** apply to checkouts for **gift purchases** (there is a [workaround](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/240-creating-a-payment-page-with-our-builder.md#:~:text=a%20gift%20purchase.-,Important,-%3A%20any%20custom%20checkout) for that).
    
3.  Will you want to add customers to a **mailing list in an external email service provider** (e.g. Mailchimp)? (During setup, in the _After Payment > Integrations_ tab, you can connect either Kit, Mailchimp, Mailerlite, or Flodesk as your email provider. Refer to [their dedicated help docs](https://help.teachery.co/en/collections/13-integrations) for more.) If you choose not to collect email addresses this way, you can always find your customers’ email addresses in your [Customers CSV export](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/135-download-course-data-and-export-customers.md#heading-0-how-to-download-all-customer-activity). At all times, be sure to make your customers aware that by purchasing, they’re being added to a mailing list or allow them to opt out.
    

### How Customers Access Downloads

If you’re selling a digital download of some kind, you may be wondering **how your customers can access these downloads** at the time of purchase - but also long after it.

1.  If you choose to **display a confirmation message** on successful checkout, there will be an option for you to display the download(s) as part of that confirmation message. More specifically:
    
    1.  If you choose to display a **LIST of the file(s)**, customers can immediately download the file(s) directly in the confirmation page.
        
    2.  If you choose to display a **BUTTON to view the file(s)**, customers who are brand new to Teachery will be prompted to first set a password (this creates a Teachery account) and only then will they be directed to a dedicated **_Downloads_** page (example pictured below) where they can download their files. Existing Teachery customers will go directly to the **_Downloads_** page. This option is useful if you’re **selling an actual course too**, and not just a download(s) or if you want your users to easily **return to their downloads some time in the future**.
        
        > **Info:** Please note that, as the creator, you **cannot** view this _Downloads_ page, only buyers. And, currently, the _Downloads_ page is **not** editable/customisable. We recommend including a note in your confirmation message for your customers to **also check their emails for a direct link** to their file(s) - see the next point below!
        
        ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/9KIQpdDhOI9Tnke3JTFG5ZqeBePSC9SWO1UUQdpP2ibI586x2m07Ov8ZqsLCIsVqpq9751Qgpqv.png)
        
2.  In your [_welcome email_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/152-setting-up-your-welcome-email-and-course-completed-email.md) (which we recommend keeping enabled and which will be triggered when a customer makes a purchase), we **automatically include download links**. Have an **upsell** with downloads of its own? The welcome email(s) for the course(s)/product(s) within that upsell will be especially important for customers to quickly access their downloads (take note of the last point below too). Ensure you’ve [**fully set up your upsell**](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/240-creating-a-payment-page-with-our-builder.md#:~:text=your%20payment%20page.-,Important,-%3A%20If%20any) to allow for this!
    
    > **Warning:** **Important:** Learn more about how exactly this works [here](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/152-setting-up-your-welcome-email-and-course-completed-email.md#heading-3-if-you-re-using-our-new-payment-page-builder).
    
3.  If you’re selling a Teachery _Course_ that includes a downloadable file, you can include as part of your course overview page, a handy link to the download(s) they purchased. The link to use is as follows: your course URL followed by **/downloads** e.g. _https://mycourse.teachery.co_**_/downloads_****.**
    
4.  If you’ve created and sold a **standalone** Teachery [_Product_](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/229-quickly-sell-a-digital-download-with-teachery.md) and **not** a Teachery _Course_, **customers can also find your your _Product_** in their [**_Learn_**](https://www.teachery.co/learn) page and this could serve as a **great way for them to quickly access their downloads at any time**. Alternatively, consider building a [**hub**](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/173-how-to-create-a-course-hub-to-showcase-all-your-courses-or-themes.md) to house all your _Products_. Link to this hub in every _Product_, in your sales/landing pages, and/or email communications.

-   More powerful **styling**, including custom fonts.
    
-   **Copying the styling** of one payment page to another. (Need a workaround? Simply [duplicate](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/241-introducing-the-payment-page-builder.md#heading-6-future-improvements:~:text=Need%20to%20duplicate%20or%20delete%20a%20payment%20page%3F) the payment page within the same or a different course or product.)
    
-   Adding more **custom fields** to the _Gifting_ functionality.
