Why course payments need access context

A student payment should connect to the exact course, cohort, or coaching package. Otherwise support has to manually unlock access.

The learner needs a simple page that explains what they get after payment.

Seats can be limited

Cohort access should follow paid status.

Global students fit

Crypto can reduce cross-border payment friction.

Support needs references

Payment records should map to student accounts.

How MakePay fits education checkout

Use links for manual enrollment and hosted checkout for productized course sales. Add webhooks when access should update automatically.

Settlement stays wallet-first while the student sees a branded payment page.

Course links

Sell individual courses or bundles.

Cohort deposits

Reserve seats before the program starts.

Access webhooks

Unlock content or communities after payment.
