This section explains how to enable and use PayPal as a payment method in Coursebox, alongside Stripe. Super Admins can activate PayPal at the portal level, allowing course creators to offer learners an additional, flexible checkout option. Once enabled, PayPal can be selected when pricing and publishing courses, supporting secure payments, optional external checkout links, and a smoother purchasing experience for learners. 

You can now sell your courses directly in Coursebox using PayPal as well as Stripe. 

Before any course creator can sell with PayPal, the option must be enabled.

Enable Paypal

• Go to Settings 

• In the settings section, scroll down to PayPal Payments.

Set Price & Payment Options

Once PayPal has been enabled by the Super Admin, you can start offering PayPal payments for courses.
