Hi, 

We are looking to setup paid courses for general public using Totara. 

On this site anyone can self-enroll without any approval and can buy courses from the library as per their wish. For this requirement I have few questions: 


1. The check of user able to access course only after successful payment is out-of-box or need to implement? 

2. Is there a plugin to setup payment gateway or need to implement for accepting the payment?  


Kindly suggest any other consideration to take into account for setting up a site of paid courses.

Regards,

Nikhil

Hi Nikhil

Totara does have a Paypal enrolment plugin included 

This requires setting up with Paypal 

  • Create a Paypal account
  • Set the encoding of the account to UTF-8
  • Turn on instant payment notification and set the notification url to your site/enrol/paypal/ipn.php

There are also other third party plugins available but I don't have any experience of using these.

Regards

Hi Craig,


Thanks for your reply. What other 3rd party plugins are available and where we can look at the list?

Hi Nikhil

It looks like you are a partner so should have access to  Partners > Partners area > Extension and plugins database in the community site.

There are others but these need to be checked to see if they are fully compatible with Totara and are being maintained.
