Take payment from learners in Sri Lanka and the surrounding region using the cards and wallets they actually hold. PayHere reaches local payment methods that international gateways do not.
PayHere covers the gap that catches out anyone selling training in South Asia: a significant share of learners cannot complete a purchase through an international card gateway. Alongside Visa, Mastercard, and Amex, PayHere reaches local methods including eZ Cash, mCash, Genie, and bank-linked options, so learners pay with what they already use.
At checkout the platform builds a signed payment request carrying your merchant details, the order reference, the amount, and the learner's billing information, and hands the learner to PayHere. PayHere then notifies the platform of the result server to server. That notification is verified against a signature computed from your merchant secret, and the amount paid is checked against the amount owed before anyone is enrolled. A notification that fails either check is rejected rather than trusted.
Cards plus the regional wallets and bank options learners in Sri Lanka commonly use, which is what makes the difference between a checkout that converts and one that does not.
Every payment notification is validated against a signature derived from your merchant secret, and the paid amount is compared to the order total before enrollment.
With a PayHere Plus merchant plan, the integration supports recurring collection for subscription courses and scheduled installments, including retrying a failed charge and cancelling an active subscription.
Run the full purchase and enrollment flow against PayHere's sandbox before going live.
In your PayHere merchant account, get your merchant ID and merchant secret, and note which plan you are on, since recurring payments require the Plus plan.
In the Wisdom LMS SaaS Portal, open Integrations and add PayHere.
Enter your merchant ID, merchant secret, and your plan.
Switch on sandbox mode, save, and run a test purchase to confirm the payment notification is accepted and the learner is enrolled.
Turn sandbox mode off and enable the integration to accept live payments.
PayHere gives your regional learners a checkout that works, and can run alongside Stripe and PayPal so international buyers keep their own preferred route.
Learners pay each installment through PayHere as they reach it, and on the Plus plan scheduled installments can be collected automatically instead of chased.
Section-by-section purchases run through the same local payment methods, so a learner buying their fourth module is not blocked by a card they do not have.
On the Plus plan, PayHere handles recurring collection for subscription courses, with retry on a failed charge and cancellation when a learner ends their subscription.
A marketplace serving South Asian learners needs a local gateway to convert at all. PayHere alongside Stripe and PayPal covers both your regional and your international buyers from the same checkout.
Test preparation is a large regional market where candidates are often students paying from personal accounts. Local wallets and bank methods are frequently the only way they can pay.
Enable PayHere for your South Asian learners and other gateways elsewhere, so each region gets a payment route that actually works for them.
