Let learners buy your course a piece at a time, when they get to it. They commit to the first part only, and each payment opens the sections it covers. Nobody pays for material they never reach.
Pay as you learn is an option on the installments pricing model. You define the installments first, giving each one a title and a price and linking it to the sections of the course it pays for. Switching on pay as you learn changes when the learner pays: instead of settling the whole course up front, they buy each installment individually.
A learner enrolls by purchasing the first installment. They work through the sections it covers, and when they reach content that requires the next one, they are told which installment opens it and can buy it there and then. Each purchase runs through the normal checkout with whichever gateways you have enabled, so it is the same short flow every time.
Someone who only needs the first two modules pays for two modules and stops. They keep permanent access to what they bought, along with their progress, quiz results, and earned credits for those sections. There is no cancellation to process and no refund conversation, because they never paid for the rest.
Pay as you learn and automatic recurring payments cannot both be switched on for the same course, and the reason is the difference in who holds the decision. Pay as you learn puts the learner in control of when the next payment happens. Recurring payments put it on a fixed schedule regardless of where the learner has reached. Pick the one that matches how you want the relationship to work.
A lower entry price gets more people through the door. Learners who might not buy a full programme outright will buy the first module, and the ones who find it valuable keep going without you having to sell again.
Candidates arrive at very different levels. Someone strong on the quantitative sections but weak on verbal buys only the sections they need, instead of paying for a full course to use half of it.
Each section purchase is a separate one-time charge through Stripe's hosted checkout, so a learner buying their third module gets the same fast flow as their first.
Learners who prefer paying with a PayPal balance or through PayPal's checkout can buy each installment the same way.
