No coding required. **Stripe** **Teachable** ## Does Stripe integrate with Teachable? Plandalf connects them with native Teachable steps rather than a direct Stripe-to-Teachable sync. Stripe takes the payment in a Plandalf checkout, and a sequence then finds or creates the Teachable student and enrols them in the course. A refund that succeeds in Stripe can remove them again. Teachable's API needs the Growth plan or higher. ## What moves between Stripe and Teachable Event From and to Through What happens Checkout completed Plandalf (paid via Stripe)Teachable Native step Enrol Student in Course creates the student if Teachable does not know the email. Someone already enrolled is left as they are and the step still succeeds. Upsell accepted Plandalf (paid via Stripe)Teachable Native step A second Enrol Student in Course step on the upsell trigger gives a buyer the extra course without touching the first enrolment. Checkout completed, student created Plandalf (paid via Stripe)Teachable Native step Find or Create Student on its own registers the buyer without enrolling them, which fits when a later step or a manual decision handles the enrolment. Invoice refunded StripeTeachable Native step Remove Student from Course runs when a refund succeeds in Stripe, including one issued from the Stripe dashboard. A student who is not enrolled in that course is skipped. Subscription cancelled StripeTeachable By hand No cancelled trigger exists in Plandalf. Remove the student in Teachable, or run Remove Student from Course from a sequence you start yourself, for example with a Webhook Trigger. ## Enrol Stripe buyers in a Teachable course You need a Stripe account and a Teachable school on the Growth plan or higher. 1. ### Connect Stripe and publish the checkout In Plandalf authorize your Stripe account, attach a Stripe-backed price to the offer for your course and publish it. The card payment goes through Stripe into your Stripe account. 2. ### Create a Teachable API key In your school admin open Settings and the API tab, click Create API Key, enter Plandalf as the Name and click Create. Copy the key. 3. ### Connect Teachable In Plandalf open Automation, then Marketplace, and click Connect on Teachable. Paste the key into API Key. Plandalf checks it with Teachable and shows Teachable connected. 4. ### Enrol on payment Under My Sequences create Course buyers to Teachable with Plandalf and Checkout Completed, and pick the checkout under Offer. Add Teachable, Enrol Student in Course with Email Address `{{trigger.customer_email}}`, your Course and Name `{{trigger.customer_name}}`. An unpublished course is marked as such in the list. 5. ### Remove on refund Add Remove access on refund for the same checkout from Automation, then Templates. In its Remove Student from Course step pick the same Course, and add one removal step for each extra course the checkout sells. 6. ### Try it with a Stripe test card Turn on Run on test purchases, pay through the test link with a Stripe test card and look for the student in Teachable. Testing a step enrols a real student, so use your own email, and switch the setting off afterwards. ## What sellers do with Stripe and Teachable ### Single-course creators One checkout, one course, one sequence. The payment creates the student and enrols them, so nobody has to enrol buyers by hand on launch day. ### Course with a bonus course bump The main sequence enrols the buyer in the flagship course. A separate sequence on Upsell Accepted enrols them in the bonus course, and the refund template carries a removal step for each course. ### Several courses from one checkout A bundle checkout runs one Enrol Student in Course step per course in the sequence. A matching Remove Student from Course step per course keeps a full refund from leaving half the bundle behind. ## Limits and gotchas - Teachable's API is not available on lower plans. The connection fails with Authentication failed unless the school is on Growth or higher. - Students added through the API count toward Teachable's usage fees, and the schedule depends on when your school was created. Read Teachable's usage fees page for your own school before you sell at volume. - A partial refund leaves access alone by default, because the refund trigger runs on full refunds only. Switch that option off if you want every refund to remove the student. - Plandalf has no subscription-cancelled trigger, so a cancelled subscription does not end enrolment by itself. - The Course list comes from the school the key belongs to. An empty list usually means no courses yet or a key from a different school. ## Stripe and Teachable: common questions Does Stripe integrate with Teachable? Plandalf connects them. A Plandalf checkout takes the payment through Stripe, and a sequence then enrols the student in Teachable. For checkout options inside Teachable itself, see Teachable's own documentation. How do I give someone course access after a Stripe payment? Use a sequence that starts on Checkout Completed for the course checkout and runs Teachable, Enrol Student in Course with the buyer's email. It creates the student first if they are new. How do I remove Teachable access on a Stripe refund? Add the Remove access on refund template for the checkout and choose the course in its Remove Student from Course step. It runs once the invoice is refunded in full in Stripe. Do students enrolled through Plandalf cost extra in Teachable? Teachable counts students added through its API toward its usage fees. The amounts depend on your school and change, so check Teachable's usage fees page rather than relying on a number here. ## Guides for this pair - [Plandalf with Stripe](https://plandalf.com/platforms/stripe) - [Plandalf with Teachable](https://plandalf.com/platforms/teachable) - [Teachable setup guide](https://plandalf.com/docs/integrations/teachable) - [Remove access on refund](https://plandalf.com/docs/integrations/plandalf#remove-access-on-refund) - [Connect Stripe to Plandalf](https://plandalf.com/docs/platforms/stripe) [Start your 14-day free trial](https://admin.plandalf.dev/signup) ## More from Stripe and Teachable - [**Stripe + Zapier**Plandalf talks to Zapier through webhooks only: out with Send Webhook, in with a catch URL, with Stripe as the payment in the middle.](https://plandalf.com/apps/stripe/integrations/zapier) - [**Stripe + ActiveCampaign**A Stripe-paid Plandalf checkout can add the buyer to ActiveCampaign through Send Webhook, and an ActiveCampaign automation can start a Plandalf countdown.](https://plandalf.com/apps/stripe/integrations/activecampaign) - [**Stripe + beehiiv**Readers click a Plandalf checkout link in a beehiiv post, Stripe takes the payment, and a webhook step can add the buyer as a subscriber.](https://plandalf.com/apps/stripe/integrations/beehiiv) - [**Teachable + Kit (ConvertKit)**When a course checkout is paid, one sequence enrols the student in Teachable and tags the same person in Kit.](https://plandalf.com/apps/teachable/integrations/convertkit) - [**PayPal + Teachable**A student who pays with PayPal on a Plandalf checkout can be found or created in Teachable and enrolled in the course they bought.](https://plandalf.com/apps/paypal/integrations/teachable) Checked October 26, 2026 against Plandalf's own setup guides.
