The most popular plan is our Professional plan. However, we also offer a free plan so you can try out Teachable and see if it’s a good fit for you.

We'll be sad to see you go, but you can cancel your Teachable plan at any time. We don't lock you into any lengthy contract. Moreover, since you own all school data as well as the domain name (if using a custom one), you can download your course, student, and revenue information so you can build your own website or use another service.

On our Basic plan and above, you can use your own domain name (example.com). Additionally, every Teachable plan comes with a completely free yourschool.teachable.com domain name that you’re welcome to use.

With Teachable, there are absolutely no setup fees. You can launch your school for free!

Every time a user purchases a course, course bundle, or subscription, we collect a transaction fee according to your pricing plan. Higher-priced plans have lower transaction fees. For any plan using a Teachable payment gateway, we charge a standard payment processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 on paid courses for US transactions. If you accept international transactions, there is an additional processing fee of 1% for credit and debit cards, and 1.5% for PayPal.

If you're using any custom payment gateway (available on Professional and above) or Teachable Payments, payouts will be distributed daily or based on your selected payout cadence, within an initial two day trailing lag. When using the Monthly Payment gateway, you'll be paid out at the beginning of each month for purchases made at least 30 days ago. For example, if one student pays you on March 5, and another pays you on March 25, you’ll receive both students’ payments at the beginning of May. This system allows us enough time to honor our 30-day refund policy.

Absolutely! Some of our biggest clients use Teachable for internal training. Our Business and Enterprise plans allow you to import your employees for private training.

Absolutely! And when you create a free course, we do not charge any fees on enrollments.

Nope. Teachable hosts all your course content (even though, to your audience, it looks like you’re hosting it!)

Every Teachable plan includes unlimited video and course content bandwidth. Upload as many courses, videos, PDFs, etc. as you like.

Teachable handles the payment processing for you, so you don’t need a separate processor. We accept credit card, debit card, and PayPal.

If you cannot set up Teachable Payments or custom payment gateways (available on Professional plan or above), Teachable can collect funds for you and pay you on our regular payment schedule.

When using the Monthly Payment Gateway, there is a processing fee of 2.9% + 30¢ for US transactions. For international transactions, there is an additional 1% fee for credit and debit cards, and 1.5% fee for PayPal. These are standard rates cha
rged by Stripe & PayPal. Additionally, you’re charged a transaction fee that varies based on your plan:

• Free: $1 + 10%

• Basic: 5%

• Professional: 0%

• Business: 0%

If you have custom payment gateway(s) enabled or BackOffice disabled, you are responsible for paying authors and affiliates out. If you use BackOffice, we will automatically pay out your authors and affiliates, send them the necessary tax forms at the end of the year, and take care of all the reporting.
