Accept Local Payments Your Course Platform Doesn't Support
Finally accept Rands and local payments for your Kajabi, Thinkific, Kartra, Teachable and LearnWorlds courses.
Stop Losing Sales to Payment Barriers
If you're a South African course creator struggling with international-only payment methods, losing sales because customers can't pay the way they want to, or fighting the "should I price in USD or ZAR?" dilemma – you're not alone.
Built for South African businesses
Locally-optimized checkout experiences for South African course creators.
Remove payment barriers between your platform and South African customers with locally-optimized checkout experiences that increase sales.
The Problem Every SA Course Creator Faces
Your course platform (Kajabi, Thinkific, Kartra, Systeme.io, Teachable) forces you to choose between:
- •Pricing in USD with PayPal/Stripe only → Customers worry about foreign transaction fees, currency conversion, and whether their SA bank cards will work
- •Losing potential students who want to pay in Rands with familiar payment methods like PayFast
- •Complex international checkout processes that feel foreign and untrustworthy to local customers
The result? You're losing 30-40% of potential South African sales before customers even see your course content.
CheckoutJoy bridges the gap between your international course platform and your South African customers.
We've helped hundreds of SA course creators increase their local sales by 30-60% by offering the payment methods and currency options their customers actually prefer.
We battled to find a solution for accepting local payments that integrates with our Kajabi website, and we lost a lot of sales due to this.
CheckoutJoy solved this problem and now 60% of our sales go through our local payment gateway!
