Setting up payments
Connecting your own payment account so students can pay online.
Which one to connect
Students' payments go into your own merchant account. So first open a merchant account with bKash, SSLCommerz or aamarPay, and keep the details they give you close by.
Nagad and SurjoPay can't be connected yet; they'll appear in the list once they work.
Connect it
- Open Payment & SMS gateways and press Add payment gateway
- Under Provider, choose bKash, SSLCommerz or aamarPay
- Enter your merchant details, such as Store ID and Store password
- Set Mode to Live. Sandbox is only for testing and takes no real money.
- Press Send OTP. Enter the code sent to your phone and press Verify & add.
Your details are encrypted as soon as they're saved and are never shown again.
How to tell it worked: The gateway shows in the list. Students who enrol from a course page are now taken to pay.
