Checkout Page

This article goes over how to set up the checkout page for your product.

Overview

Each product in your school has its own checkout page. You can make changes to your checkout page in the Pages > Checkout Page section of your product admin. From there, you can add testimonials, bullet points, and course guarantees.

The checkout page contains the following sections:

• Order Summary - An overview of the purchase. If students enter a coupon code by clicking Add Coupon, the discount will be reflected in the total price. 
• Contact Information - The area where students enter their email address.If their email address is already associated with a school or Teachable Account, they’ll be prompted to enter their password and login directly on the checkout page. Students can also opt-in to promotional and instructional emails from your school here.
• Payment Information - The area where students select a payment method (PayPal, credit card, or mobile pay) and enter their payment information. If a student is using an existing account with a saved credit/debit card, their payment information will be auto-filled.
• Billing Information - The area where users enter in their billing information and Tax ID, if applicable. This section is only applicable for customers paying with a debit or credit card. Users are required to fill out Country, Street Address, City, State/Province/Region, and Postal Code. Required fields vary by country. Billing address is required for compliance purposes.

If the delivery address is different from the billing address, customers will be prompted to fill in a delivery address as well. While there might not be any physical products associated with the purchase, this information is required to calculate any taxes, if applicable.
  
  The billing and delivery addresses will be available for download in your transactions CSV report. They will also be included in the user CSV report if the user saves their payment details to their profile.

  NOTE: For recurring payment options (i.e., a subscription or payment plan), student payment details will automatically be saved to their profile. For one-time purchase options, students can check the "Save my billing info for future purchases" box in the Payment Information section to save their payment details to their profile. Students can edit or manage their saved payment details at any time by following this Knowledge Base guide.
