You have a blog, a YouTube channel or a website people already visit. You built a course. Now the question: where do you sell it?
Most course platforms want buyers to leave your site for theirs. That's one more step, one more page that doesn't look like you, and one more reason to drop off. Selling on your own website keeps people where they already trust you.
What you need
- A course page on your site that shows what's inside, lesson by lesson.
- A checkout that takes mobile money and cards, without sending people away.
- Instant access after payment.
- A course player where students watch, read and tick off lessons.
- Your own branding everywhere.
You don't have to build any of that yourself.
Step 1: Build the course on Paylead
- In your dashboard click Create product and choose Course.
- Add the title, cover, description and price.
- Add your sections and lessons: videos from YouTube, Vimeo or a link, text lessons and links.
Students get access the moment they pay and pick up where they stopped. Our course guide walks through it.
Step 2: Put a course card on your website
- Open the course and click Embed.
- Choose Course card.
- Pick your colour, theme and corners, and copy the code.
- Paste it on your course page, your blog sidebar or the end of a free video post.
The card shows the cover, price, how many lessons and hours, and the outline section by section. Visitors tap Enroll now and pay by MoMo or card over your page. The course card guide has every option.
When you add or rename lessons, the card updates by itself.
Step 3: Bring people to it
Teach for free first. Your best free lesson, video or post should end with the course card. People who learned something from you are the most likely to buy.
Run a free webinar. A live session with a countdown on your site gets people to show up, and you can sell the course at the end. Add a webinar sign-up next to your course.
Collect emails. Not everyone buys on the first visit. A newsletter box keeps them close until they're ready.
Show the whole catalogue
Selling more than one course or ebook? A product grid shows all of them, or just one category, each with its own Buy button.
Fees
Embeds are free on every plan. Each sale is 4% + GH₵ 1 with payment processing included, or you pass it to the student with one switch. See pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Do students need a Paylead account?
No. Their private course link is on their receipt and in their confirmation email, and it opens the course player straight away.
Will it work on WordPress?
Yes. Paste the code into a Custom HTML block. It also works on Wix, Webflow, Squarespace and any site you can add HTML to.
Can I still sell from a link?
Yes. Every course also has its own page you can share on WhatsApp and social media.
