You can use iSpring Learn to sell courses in your account. To accept payments, you should have a PayPal account or register a new one, configure it to accept payments and specify your PayPal account details in iSpring Learn.  

How to Register a PayPal Account

To register a new PayPal account, go to https://www.paypal.com and follow the instructions of the payment system.

Here you can create two types of accounts: Personal and Business. You can use any of them to accept payments on the iSpring Learn website. However, if you have a personal PayPal account, you might be asked by PayPal to move to a business account when your sales grow. The Business account types provides more advanced options for merchants. 

Here is a short instruction on how to register a new PayPal account: 

  1. Open the page https://www.paypal.com

PayPal requires linking your PayPal account to your bank account or debit/credit card. Additionally, it would be necessary to let your bank know in advance that you linked your bank account to your PayPal account.


If you register for a Business account, you need to enter your company corporate details and choose a currency to accept payments. Business account holders have additional flexibility for managing Multiple currency payments.
