How Online Payments Work

The entire process is automated — no manual intervention needed.

Testing Before Going Live

1. Set the gateway to Sandbox / Test mode
2. Use test credentials provided by the gateway
3. Make a test payment
4. Verify the payment appears in your dashboard
5. Check that the student got access
6. Switch to Live mode when satisfied

Important: Always test with sandbox/test mode before switching to live. Never use real money for testing.

Multiple Gateways

You can enable multiple payment gateways simultaneously:

• Students see all enabled gateways as options at checkout
• Different gateways serve different audiences (local vs. international)
• Revenue from all gateways is consolidated in your payment analytics
