Any e-learning softwares that integrate with PayPal?

Question

I want to sell an e-learning course to the general public using an e-learning software solution that can collect the course fee with my paypal account. Are there any solutions like that available today?

Answer 1

Yes, there are a few of them.

If your course is in the form of a digital file, (something they download) you can set it up with PayVeX

This is by far the easiest way.

Or, if it is a membership style product, you could set up GenieGate or Amember.

(Full disclosure, I own GenieGate)

You could also use amember,

These packages typically use something called "IPN" (Instant Payment Notification) when a payment is made with paypal, their website sends this IPN to software running on your website. In this manner, your website can be made aware if the person has made a payment.

If you want to do IPN yourself, (write your own software) I've made a paypal IPN "class file" available for free:

This requires programming however. (you just over-ride the methods with database access calls, make sure and confirm txn and payment amount/currency)

I write website software that interfaces with paypal for this kind of thing.
