Frequently Asked Questions

1. Some helpful information for using the 'purchase' links and viewing the Online Workshops.

What is the best browser to use for Teachable?

Teachable recommends Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for the best experience with the Teachable website.

If you use Firefox, make sure your privacy settings are set to "Standard" rather than "Strict" - otherwise, videos and course features might not work properly.

We also support Safari and Microsoft Edge (the latest two versions of each), but Chrome and Firefox work best.

If you are having trouble checking out or getting the links to work, please

try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.

Or, email Kris and she will send you the direct links to the workshop you want to purchase.

14. Payment Methods

Credit/debit cards

All students will have the option to pay with a credit or debit card.

When a student makes a purchase using a credit or debit card, their transaction is processed via Stripe. All major international cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) are supported by Stripe.

Students can choose to purchase with a credit or debit card by selecting the Credit or Debit Card radio button when entering their payment details on the checkout page.

PayPal

Students can purchase with PayPal by selecting the PayPal radio button on the checkout page, choosing their country and zip code, and then clicking the PayPal button. This will take them to a Pay with PayPal checkout screen.

15. BNPL - BUY NOW PAY LATER OPTIONS

Teachable offers BNPL as a payment option thru Afterpay and Klarna. During checkout, it will display based on a student's billing location and the currency the product is priced in. Not all countries/currencies allow BNLP.

Afterpay and Klarna have a minimum and maximum pricing amount for eligible payment plans. If a pricing option is below or above the approved threshold, the option will not appear at checkout.

PAYPAL

Within PayPal, there are BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) options that you may be eligible for. If you select PayPal as your payment method, at some point in the transaction, you will be taken to PayPal as part of the payment process. Usually, a BNPL payment option will pop up/be offered within your PayPal screen during checkout. You will have to research your eligibility within your PayPal account.

16. Do you have a Terms of Use Policy?

Yes. You can find it HERE.
