Hey all, we have a self-hosted Tutor deployment which we are using for our consultancy’s courses. We soon wish to launch some self-paced material, which we intend to sell.
I have researched so far as the rabbit holes of Reddit, and am still feeling unclear as to the best options at the current time, for selling courses with current/recent editions of Tutor, including integrating with a payment processor.
Ideally, a student registered on the platform would be able to select a course and pay for it there and then. We use Wise presently and have been sending out invoices, but will soon add Stripe to the mix. We will need to be able to receive international payments. I read something about a ‘WooCommerce’ plugin for Wordpress, but we would rather avoid that where possible, preferring to keep the user interaction grouped around Tutor itself.
As an open-source project we welcome contributions of any kind. If people have other ecommerce solutions, we would love a pull request to update the documentation.
Reporting in that I have built the Webhook Receiver and integrated it with Tutor. That all went fine. What I am quite confused about now is how to integrate it with WooCommerce. It seems that WooCommerce insists on working as a Wordpress plugin.
Is it the case that I need to deploy Wordpress, then setup the WooCommerce plugin for it, and then complete setting up the standalone Webhook Receiver? I don’t want to use Wordpress at all.
If any have gone through this process, without Wordpress as the interface to browse and buy OpenedX courses, I would be glad to hear of it!
