With WebinarGeek it’s very simple to organize paid webinars. Ask your viewers for payment to participate in a webinar and earn money immediately with your valuable knowledge.

You will only need to connect your Mollie or Stripe account to your WebinarGeek account once to set things up. Afterward, you can set a price for each individual webinar between the values of 1 and 10.000 (euro), which participants will need to pay to view the webinar.

For processing the financial transactions we have partnered with one of the biggest payment platforms in the world: Stripe. Stripe offers all types of payment methods, different currencies, is quick to setup, and easy to use. In addition, we offer a integration with Mollie (EEA/EU only). Read more about the differences between Stripe and Mollie.

If you are already familiar with Mollie, want to only charge for your webinars in Euro, and have a business in the Netherlands we recommend using Mollie, otherwise you'll be best of using Stripe.

Connecting Stripe or Mollie is simple and done in just a few steps.

Follow these steps to connect Stripe:

That’s it! Stripe will now be connected to your WebinarGeek account.

When you connect a platform like WebinarGeek to Stripe you will give WebinarGeek access to most of the payment data of the account. Therefore, Stripe requires having a separate account (within your main account) for every website, platform, and project. Learn more about creating Stripe accounts. Creating a separate account is also useful if you'd like to separate financial flows or you'd to separate the data that is viewable by partners that you connect to. Make sure to create a new account to connect with WebinarGeek.

When connecting to Stripe, Stripe will automatically detect whether or not you have an account available without any existing connections. If there is no account without existing connections available, the process will lead you through the steps of creating a new account. You can read more about that here.

If you do not yet have a Stripe account, the ‘Create Stripe account’ button can be used to make an account.

In your Stripe settings you will find that WebinarGeek is now listed as an authorized application. From here you can also revoke access at any time.

You are able to connect a Stripe test account, but you will need an active Stripe account to receive payments.

Stripe checkout offers several ways for viewers to pay for your webinars, but depending on your target demographic, not all payment methods may be available.

Payment methods have to be configured in your Stripe account.

Head to https://dashboard.stripe.com/dashboard and log into your Stripe account.

Click on the cogwheel in the top right corner to open the ‘Settings’ page.

Now click on ‘Payment methods’ under ‘Payments’.

Make sure you're editing the company payment defaults and not the 'normal' defaults, since this will not add the payment methods to the WebinarGeek registrations payments.

You will find a list of all available payment methods. You can activate and/or deactivate any of the listed payment methods at any time, but keep in mind that some of them may have a ‘review period’ and will have a delay in being activated.

Simply click on ‘Turn on’ to enable a specific payment method, or ‘Turn on all’ to enable all the payment methods in that particular list.

To turn off the payment methods, either use the ‘Turn off all’ option at the top of a list or click on the payment method in question to open a tab below it. In the tab, click on ‘Turn off’ to disable that specific payment method.

The first step is connecting your Mollie account to your WebinarGeek account.

Already have a Mollie account? Follow these steps:

When you connect a platform like WebinarGeek to Mollie you will give WebinarGeek access to most of the payment data of the account. Therefore we and Mollie highly recommend creating separate organizations for each platform you connect. Creating an organization is useful if you'd like to separate financial flows or you'd like to separate the data that is viewable by the partners that you connect to. Learn more about Organizations and how to create them.

The next step is the creation of a website profile. Creating a website profile can be done in 'Settings' in your Mollie account.

Click here to log in to your Mollie account and create your profile for the paid webinars using WebinarGeek. For 'Website', add a link of a registration page of a published webinar. Give a brief description of your webinar content and fill out the contact details as accurately as possible. Alternatively, you can link your channel (with your paid webinars) or you can link a page on your own website that hosts our registration embed.

As soon as your website profile and your Mollie account profile are complete, it will be possible to receive payments for your webinars. You now can enable payments for your webinars and set a price. Learn how to enable payments for a webinar here.

After your website profile was approved during the website check by Mollie, you can start receiving payments from Mollie. As long as you’re not yet approved with Mollie with regards to your website profile, they will hold the money for you until you’re approved. You can learn what to do when your website profile has been denied by Mollie here.

We have partnered with one of the biggest payment platforms in the world: Stripe. Stripe offers all types of payment methods, different currencies, is quick to setup, and easy to use.

When someone registers for your webinar, but fails to pay for it, that person won’t be able to participate in the paid webinar. That person will get access to the webinar only after the payment has been completed. Completing a payment is possible up until the moment the webinar starts.

No. But if you are using Mollie, you could use Moneybird to ensure that your viewer receives an invoice for the payment of your webinar. You could also look into other solutions using Zapier.

You can export a list of participants of paid webinars. This information is exported to a so-called CSV file. Go to the webinar statistics. Click on 'Registration page' > 'Payments' or 'Viewers' and then on 'Export to CSV'. The CSV file contains 2 additional columns with information about whether someone has already paid and what amount that person has paid.

You have to disable Link in a separate location from the other payment methods.

Link should now be removed from your payment pages.
