Native PayPal Checkout
Sell courses with PayPal in the free plugin — no WooCommerce or separate commerce plugin required. Stripe checkout is included in Sikshya Pro.
Why this matters
Many WordPress LMS plugins push card payments through WooCommerce — you end up installing and maintaining a full ecommerce plugin just to take a single course sale. Sikshya LMS processes PayPal payments natively in the free plugin, keeping the stack smaller. Stripe checkout (cards + recurring billing) is included in the paid Pro tiers.
What you get
- Take PayPal payments in the free plugin without WooCommerce or any additional commerce plugin.
- Apply discount codes at checkout — coupons are part of the free plugin.
- Guest checkout is supported: buyers don't need to create an account before paying.
- PayPal IPN signatures are verified; concurrent webhook deliveries are handled with row-locked transactions to avoid duplicate fulfillment.
- Stripe checkout — including subscriptions and recurring billing — is included in Sikshya Pro on the Growth tier.
