The short version

## Thinkific + Plandalf in 30 seconds

Thinkific keeps doing

-   Course hosting and delivery
-   Communities
-   Quizzes and certificates

Plandalf adds

-   A checkout that matches your site
-   Multiple bumps on any offer
-   Deadline offers that expire
-   Course access granted automatically

The checkout

## Where Thinkific's checkout holds you back

-   ### You can't design the checkout.
    
    It isn't in the site builder, so only your header, logo, font and some brand colours carry over.
    
-   ### One order bump per product.
    
    And only with Thinkific Payments.
    
-   ### Using your own Stripe costs extra.
    
    An extra 5%, 2%, 1% or 0.5% of each sale, depending on your plan.
    

Behind the scenes

## How it works

1.  1
    
    ### Buyer checks out on your site
    
    The checkout opens on your own page, styled like the rest of your site. Bumps, upsells and deadlines included.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Payment lands in your Stripe
    
    Cards go straight to your Stripe account. Your money and customers stay yours, and Plandalf takes 0% of revenue.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Buyer gets Thinkific access
    
    Plandalf enrols buyers in the right Thinkific course or bundle the moment they pay, sends a branded receipt, and adds tags in your email tool.
