Why teams switch
The status quo is costing your team time and money
Your pricing is locked into a single model
Most LMSes only support a flat one-time fee. Want to sell installments? Subscription? Free tier with paid upgrade? Donation-based? Per-seat enterprise? You stitch four tools together — and reconcile them by hand.
Cross-border sales are a nightmare
Selling to GCC + India + Africa needs three different gateways, three different currencies, three different tax setups. Most academies just don't bother — and leave entire markets on the table.
Failed payments silently kill revenue
Without smart retries, dunning sequences, and recovery flows, 8–12% of subscription revenue silently fails every month. Your finance lead doesn't even see it until quarter-end.
Inside the billing engine
Pricing → checkout → invoice → recovery, all wired
Plan selection, instalment schedule, GST invoice, and smart retry — all from a single workflow.

How pricing flows actually work
From plan setup to renewal — fully connected
Vacademy ties pricing to the course catalogue, payment gateways, accounting, and the Automation Engine. Set a plan once; it propagates everywhere.
Configure plans per course
Define one or many plans per course: 'Pay upfront', '3-month installment', 'Subscription with monthly auto-debit', 'Donate what you can'. Set currency, tax, and gateway per plan.
Learner sees the right plan
Storefront and checkout auto-detect learner region and show local currency, tax, gateway, and language. Coupons + referral codes apply at checkout with live preview.
Payment + invoice + access
Gateway charges; Vacademy issues GST-compliant invoice, grants course access instantly, and stores the transaction with full audit metadata.
Renewals, retries, refunds
Subscription renewals auto-charge; failed payments retry on a schedule, fire dunning workflows, and recover silently. Refunds and pro-rata calculations happen in-app.
What's inside
A real billing engine — built into your LMS
Every pricing model
Upfront, instalment (custom schedule), subscription (monthly/yearly), per-seat enterprise, donation, free with paid upgrade, EMI via gateway. Mix on the same course.
Multi-currency + auto-FX
Show INR to India, USD to US, AED to GCC, GBP to UK — automatically based on learner location. FX rates updated daily; manual override per cohort if needed.
GST + tax compliance
GST registration numbers per institute. Auto-generated GST-compliant invoices with HSN/SAC codes, B2B vs B2C handling, and inter-state vs intra-state CGST/SGST/IGST split.
All gateways supported
Stripe (global), Razorpay (India), PayU (India/EM), Cashfree (India), Paytm, PayPal, and others. Use multiple gateways per institute with smart routing.
Smart dunning + retries
Failed subscription charges auto-retry on a configurable schedule; dunning emails / WhatsApp fire via the Automation Engine. Recover 5–8% of MRR silently.
Per-plan offers + coupons
Define coupons that apply only to specific plans, cohorts, geographies, or referral sources. Set expiry, usage caps, and minimum-cart thresholds.
What changes after the first month
Revenue you stop leaking
From smart retries + dunning on subscription failures.
Avg saved vs separate Stripe + Razorpay + Chargebee + invoicing stack.
Non-tech teams ship pricing tests without engineering tickets.
Every transaction issues a compliant invoice — no manual fixing.
Wired into the platform
Payments aren't a side rail — they drive the workflow
Every payment event is a first-class trigger in the Automation Engine. Course access, certificate release, parent digests, CRM stages — all flow from the payment.
Auto-enroll learners in cohorts the moment payment succeeds; send WhatsApp welcome.
Hold certificate release until all instalments are paid (configurable).
Fire dunning email + WhatsApp 24h, 72h, 7d after a failed charge; pause if recovered.
Upsell next course to learners who completed payment + crossed 80% course progress.

Customer spotlight
Pan-Asia coaching · INR + AED + USD billing
“We used to run three separate billing setups for India, GCC, and the US — three gateways, three accounting workflows, three Excel files we reconciled by hand. Vacademy gave us one billing layer for everything. Our finance lead reclaimed two days per month and we recovered 7.2% of MRR with smart retries alone.”
— CFO, Pan-Asia Coaching Group
Frequently asked
Common questions from buyers
Do we have to switch gateways to use Vacademy?+−
No. Plug in your existing Stripe / Razorpay / PayU / Cashfree accounts via API keys. Vacademy uses your gateway — funds settle to your bank as before. We just add the routing, invoicing, and recovery logic on top.
What about Indian GST and tax compliance?+−
Full support. Per-institute GSTIN, HSN/SAC codes, intra-state vs inter-state CGST/SGST/IGST handling, B2B vs B2C, and downloadable GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B-ready exports. Used by Indian academies for live audit-grade reporting.
Can we offer different prices in different regions?+−
Yes. Plans can have region-specific pricing (e.g. ₹14,999 in India, $399 in US, AED 1,499 in GCC). Vacademy auto-detects learner region; admins can override per cohort or campaign.
How do refunds and proration work?+−
Full and partial refunds processed through the same gateway. Subscription cancellations can be pro-rated automatically (charge for days used, refund the rest). All movement is audited and visible in the finance ledger.
Can a learner switch plans mid-course?+−
Yes. Plan-switching with pro-ration is supported. The learner sees the new price + credit calculation at checkout; the system handles the gateway operation and updates the invoice + ledger automatically.
