Streamline eLearning payments to reach students across borders

Challenges
Expanding your eLearning platform into emerging markets
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 prefer local payment methods, like Paga in Nigeria or UPI in India, and local currencies
- Slow approvals, 3DS issues, and the lack of installments or APMs increase cart abandonment
- Managing payment authorizations without a local payment processor 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.
