COACHING & ONLINE EDUCATION
Merchant accounts for coaching & online education.
Courses, consulting, and coaching can involve high-value purchases, installments, and services delivered over time. Help a processing provider understand those details early.
MERCHANT ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS
The details behind your business.
Use this guide to prepare the conversation. These are questions to discuss—not a promise that any particular product, activity, or business will qualify.
01
Explain the offer and delivery
Describe exactly what the customer buys, when the service is delivered, and how access works. Include any live sessions, support commitments, and completion timelines.
02
Show how you sell
Share your website, advertising claims, checkout terms, and refund policy. A provider may ask about marketing practices as well as the course or service itself.
03
Put payment plans in context
Document installment schedules, average transaction sizes, and the time between the first payment and full delivery. Ask how these factors affect terms and available capacity.
PREPARE FOR UNDERWRITING
What to have ready.
Your initial enquiry needs only basic business details. Save sensitive documents for the provider’s secure process.
- Course or service description
- Checkout and cancellation terms
- Payment-plan schedule
- Processing and dispute history
Questions about coaching & online education
Can a new coaching business enquire?
Yes. Say that the business is new and provide realistic volume expectations. Eligibility and documentation requirements depend on the provider’s review.
Are high-ticket courses automatically approved?
No. Your offer, marketing, delivery model, financial profile, and processing history all matter. ProudPay cannot promise approval.
Should I include guarantees in my application?
Give an accurate account of the promises you make to customers, including refunds and guarantees. The provider should see the same offer the customer sees.
