Selling courses with Tutor: The state-of-play in 2025

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.

What are the options, in 2025, if any?

Any tips or pointers are greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot. I did not see or somehow overlooked the Webhook Receiver. I think I will give this a try.

All the same, I’d really value hearing from anyone on this forum that has tried this with their instance of Tutor.
