Getting started with Teachable
A Teachable school is built around Sections and Lectures -- lectures can be video, text, PDF, quizzes, or downloadable files -- with a sales/landing page you configure separately to actually market and sell access to the finished course.
Practical Details
Pricing model choice (one-time payment, subscription, payment plan, or free) is set per course and affects which checkout flow students see, so deciding this before building out the sales page avoids reconfiguring messaging later. Teachable Payments (built on Stripe) or a direct Stripe/PayPal connection handles checkout, and which option is available depends on your region and plan.
Actionable Considerations
- Decide your pricing model (one-time, subscription, payment plan) before finalizing sales page copy, since it affects the checkout experience shown to students.
- Confirm which payment processing option (Teachable Payments, direct Stripe/PayPal) is available for your region and plan before launch.
- Preview the course as a student would experience it, including checkout, before sharing it publicly.
