Purchase a Product

This article goes over how to purchase a product as a student.

Overview

Once you decide to purchase a product from a Teachable school, you'll first have to decide which pricing plan you want to purchase. If there is only one pricing plan, then you can click any enroll button on the sales page to bring you to the checkout page.

If there are multiple pricing plans, you'll have to choose which one you'd like to purchase. 

Pricing plan options:

Payment plan type	Description
Free	Allows access to product free of charge
One-time purchase	Product has a one-time charge for use
Payment plan	Product has a fixed number of monthly payments
Subscription	Product has a recurring payment schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months, yearly)

Once you select a pricing option, you can continue to the checkout page by clicking the Enroll in course button.

The Checkout Page

Once you're redirected to the checkout page, you’ll be able to add coupons, add a Tax ID (if applicable), as well as select which account and payment method you’d like to use to purchase the course.

Order Summary

In this section of the checkout page, you can review the course you are purchasing, and the final amount. If applicable, this is also where you would enter a coupon code.

If you have a coupon code, clicking the Add Coupon button will reveal a text field for you to enter your coupon code. Once applied, the pricing will reflect your new discounted price.

If you are located in a country where tax is levied, the amount charged for tax will be listed in the Order Summary section. If you are purchasing as a business entity and have a valid Tax ID, you may enter your Tax ID in the Billing Address section of the checkout page, which will in turn remove the tax charge from your total.

Contact Information

In the Contact Information section, you’ll be prompted to enter in your email address. If this is your first time purchasing a product from this school, and therefore you do not have an account already, the email address you enter here will be used to create your account.

After completing your purchase, you'll be prompted to enter in your name and create a password for your account. You'll also be sent an email asking you to confirm your account (more on that below).

If you already have an account in the school, enter in the email your account is under. Then, you'll be prompted to enter your account password. Enter in your password and click Log In.

Similarly, if you are purchasing a product from a Teachable Accounts-enabled school and have an existing Teachable Account, you'll be asked to input your Teachable Account's password.

Payment Information - credit card

Here you can choose your payment method: PayPal, credit card, or mobile pay. If you are purchasing a product using a credit card, select the Credit Card radio button. Then enter your Name on Card, Card Number, Expiration Date, CVC Code, Country, and Postal Code.  When you're finished, click the Buy Now button.

Once you've entered all the required information, you can then choose to save your payment information to your Teachable Account by checking the Save my card for future purchases box.

Payment Information - PayPal

If you are purchasing a product using PayPal, select the PayPal radio button and select your Country, then click the PayPal button. Upon checkout, you'll be redirected to PayPal’s website to complete your purchase.

Payment Information - mobile

If you are purchasing a product using a mobile payment app, either Google Pay or Apple Pay will be displayed. Tapping this option will take you to an overlay where you will be asked to review your payment information. Ensure everything is correct and tap Pay. You will be asked to enter your CVV number. Tap Confirm. 

Please note that the option to use Google Pay or Apple Pay will disappear if you have added one of the following during checkout:

• A coupon for a recurring payment (subscriptions or payment plan)
• An order bump for a recurring payment (subscription or payment plan)

Billing Address & Business Details

If you are purchasing the product with a credit or debit card, you will be asked to complete your billing address. This is required for compliance purposes.

Users are prompted to fill out Country, Street Address, City, State/Province/Region, and Postal Code. Required fields vary by country.

All customers have the option to check off a Delivery address same as billing field. 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.

If purchasing the product as a business, click the Are you a business? Enter your Tax ID (if applicable) link. This will reveal a field for Business name and Tax ID number. (Note that you must first fill out your billing address in order to enter in your Tax ID number.) Entering in a valid Tax ID number will remove the tax charge, if any, from your total.

Complete Your Purchase

Once you have entered your payment information, click the Buy Now button to complete your purchase.

In some cases, your bank may require you to authorize your credit card payment. If so, a pop-up window will appear prompting you for additional information to authorize the payment with your bank:

Once you complete your purchase, you’ll be directed to a thank you page and will automatically receive a receipt to the email specified in the Account Information section that provides more details about your purchase:

You'll also receive an account confirmation email. To confirm that your email address is correct, click Confirm Email:
