Streamline eLearning payments to reach students across borders

The eLearning industry is growing fast, creating opportunities for platforms to reach learners around the world. Expanding into emerging markets can open up new opportunities, but it also comes with challenges. eLearning payment solutions that align with local payment preferences and regulations can help maximize this potential. With the right tools in place, platforms can streamline online learning subscription payments and ensure smooth operations across borders.

Challenges

As your eLearning platform expands into emerging markets, you'll face challenges.

Many learners in these regions rely on local payment methods and not offering these options could result in missed opportunities. Issues such as slow payment approvals can lead to cart abandonment, and the lack of a local presence may make entering new markets more difficult. On top of that, ensuring timely payouts to instructors in local currencies and handling demand during peak periods requires thoughtful planning. You should consider that:

Most learners in emerging markets prefer local payment methods, like Paga in Nigeria or UPI in India, and local currencies.
Slow approvals, 3DS issues, and the lack of installment options or APMs contribute to increased cart abandonment.
Without a local payment processor, managing payment authorizations is complex.
Managing peak times like the start of the academic year or Black Friday requires reliable payment systems.

Use Cases

Real-World Impact

Open English, a leading online English learning platform, partnered with dLocal to expand access to its courses in Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. Many students struggled to enroll due to limited payment options, as international credit cards were not widely available. Through dLocal, Open English integrated local payment methods, including bank transfers, e-wallets, and cash payments, to allow students to pay in their local currencies. This removed a key enrollment barrier, leading to higher sign-ups and making education more accessible across the region.
