Frequently asked questions

What is teachable:pay?

Teachable:pay is our fully integrated payment processing solution, designed to help you focus more on growing your business and less on managing payments. We handle transactions, automate tax compliance, and unlock powerful sales features like order bumps, upsells, and more—all while making sure you can get paid seamlessly and on time.

What payment methods does teachable:pay accept?

With teachable:pay, your students can pay you using debit or credit card, mobile pay, Apple, Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Buy Now, Pay Later (via Klarna or Afterpay), and Stripe Link.

Will I pay transaction fees with teachable:pay?

We make it so you keep what you earn with 0% transaction fees on most of our plans. You may be subject to processing fees dependent on payment method and location. See here for a full breakdown of fees.

How does teachable:pay handle refunds?

Your students will be entitled to a 14-day refund policy for course purchases. For coaching, digital downloads, or bundles that contain one of the two, you can set your own refund policy. When a refund is issued, any transaction and applicable taxes will be returned to you.

What about chargebacks?

You’ll be notified via email when a student initiates a dispute on a credit or debit card transaction. Each chargeback incurs a $15 fee from Stripe, which is refunded if you successfully contest the dispute. During the dispute process, the student's access to the product is revoked, and any active subscriptions or payment plans are canceled.

Does teachable:pay integrate with my accounting software?

Yes. While teachable:pay offers built-in, automated sales tax handling, we also recognize that you may already have workflows in place that work for you. That’s why we connect seamlessly with QuickBooks, Xero, or similar platforms via Zapier.

What is BackOffice?

BackOffice is an additional service available only on teachable:pay that unlocks automatic collaborator payouts, automatic affiliate tax form collection, Buy Now, Pay Later, and PayPal payment options, and more.
