HighLevel + CheckoutJoy: Finally, Payment Options That Actually Work for Your Global Audience

If you're using HighLevel to sell courses or memberships, you've probably run into the payment wall. HighLevel is excellent for building and delivering content, but when it comes to actually getting paid? The options are thin.

Stripe, maybe PayPal. That's about it.

Which is fine if all your customers are in the US and happy to use credit cards. But the moment you try to sell globally, you start losing sales. Your customer in Brazil wants Mercado Pago. Your customer in South Africa needs PayFast. Your European customers expect to pay in Euros with their local payment methods.

And HighLevel just... can't do that.

So we built an integration that fixes it.

What HighLevel's Missing (and What You Actually Need)

The payment processor situation is the obvious one—HighLevel gives you Stripe and not much else. But the gaps go deeper than that.

What about VAT compliance for European customers? What about automatic invoicing? Multi-currency support? Payment plans? Order bumps and upsells?

These aren't nice-to-have features. They're the difference between converting a sale and watching someone bounce because they can't pay the way they want to pay.

That's the problem CheckoutJoy solves.

What This Integration Actually Does

The integration is dead simple: CheckoutJoy handles your checkout, then passes the customer details back to HighLevel with the tags you specify. HighLevel sees the tag, triggers your workflow, and grants access to your course or membership.

That's it. No complicated setup. No weird workarounds. Just works.

Payment Options You Actually Need

Here's what you can now offer your customers:

For Africa:

PayStack (Nigeria and beyond)
PayFast (South Africa)
Instamojo (works great across the continent)

For South America:

Mercado Pago (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and more)

For Europe:

Klarna
iDEAL
SEPA
Bancontact
All the local payment methods people actually use

For Asia:

Razorpay (India)
Instamojo (India)
Xendit (Philippines)

Everywhere else:

Stripe (obviously, but with better features)
PayPal (including subscriptions and credit cards)
VIPS (Norway)
Crypto payments
And we're adding Moonpay soon for even more crypto options

The kicker? You can enable multiple payment processors on the same checkout. Your customer in Norway can use VIPS while your customer in Brazil uses Mercado Pago. Same product, same checkout, different payment options.

Multi-Currency That Actually Works

Remember when I mentioned selling in different currencies? Yeah, we handle that.

You can add as many currencies as you want to your checkout. US Dollars, Euros, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Indian Rupees—whatever makes sense for your audience.

The checkout automatically shows the right currency based on your customer's location, but they can switch if they want. The conversion happens in real-time, and they pay in the currency they're comfortable with.

No more "sorry, we only accept USD" awkwardness.

Auto-Translation Because English Isn't Everyone's First Language

Here's a feature that might seem small but makes a massive difference: automatic checkout translation.

The checkout detects your customer's browser language and translates everything automatically. If they're browsing in Spanish, they see Spanish. If it's French, they see French.

This isn't just nice to have—it directly impacts conversion rates. People buy more when they can read in their own language.

VAT and Tax Compliance (The Boring But Crucial Stuff)

If you're selling to customers in Europe or anywhere else with VAT requirements, you know it's a nightmare. Different rates for different countries, digital product rules, reverse charge mechanisms... ugh.

CheckoutJoy handles all of it automatically. We calculate the right VAT rate based on your customer's location, add it to the checkout, and include it on the invoice.

Speaking of invoices—every purchase generates a proper invoice automatically. No more manual PDF creation or email attachments. It just works.

Upsells, Order Bumps, and Payment Plans

Beyond payment processors, CheckoutJoy gives you all the conversion optimization tools that HighLevel doesn't have built-in:

Order Bumps: Add a complementary product right on the checkout page
Upsells: Offer additional products after the initial purchase
Payment Plans: Break up larger purchases into installments
Downsells: Give customers a cheaper alternative if they decline an upsell

These features can easily add 20-30% to your average order value. And now they work seamlessly with your HighLevel workflows.

Geo-Fencing Your Checkouts

Sometimes you need to show different offers to different regions. Maybe you have different pricing for different markets, or maybe certain products are only available in specific countries.

CheckoutJoy lets you geo-fence your checkouts. Show one checkout to customers in the US, a different one to customers in Europe, and another to customers in Asia. Same product, different positioning.

How the Integration Actually Works

The technical side is surprisingly simple:

Install the CheckoutJoy app in your HighLevel account
Create a product in CheckoutJoy and assign tags
Set up a workflow in HighLevel that triggers when someone gets that tag
That's it

When someone buys through CheckoutJoy, we create the contact in HighLevel and add your tags. HighLevel sees the tag, runs your workflow, and grants access to your course or membership.

The whole setup takes maybe 15 minutes. Seriously.

The Workflow Magic

Because we're just passing tags to HighLevel, you get all of HighLevel's workflow power:

Send welcome emails
Add to sequences
Grant course access
Trigger automations
Assign to pipelines
Literally anything HighLevel can do

And when someone cancels or refunds? We remove the tag, and HighLevel can automatically revoke access. Clean.

Why This Matters

Look, I'm not going to blow smoke about "revolutionizing" anything. This integration solves a real problem:

You've built a course or membership in HighLevel. You want to sell it to a global audience. HighLevel's payment options are holding you back.

Now they're not.

You can take payments from customers anywhere in the world, in their local currency, using payment methods they trust. The money hits your account, the customer gets access, and HighLevel handles the rest.

It's not complicated. It's just... better.

Getting Started

If you're already using HighLevel and you've been frustrated with payment limitations, this is for you.

If you're considering HighLevel but the payment options were a dealbreaker, this solves that.

If you're losing sales because customers can't pay the way they want to pay, this fixes it.

Watch the demo video [link] to see the whole setup process. It's a 15-minute walkthrough showing everything from installation to a completed checkout.

And yeah, you can get started today. The integration is live, the payment processors are ready, and your global audience is waiting.

Let's go.
