• Paddle — handles global payments, VAT, and payouts for software/digital goods and can be used for courses.

What to consider when choosing

• Payment methods needed (cards, PayPal, local alternatives like UPI, iDEAL).
• Payout options and timing for instructors.
• Support for subscriptions, payment plans, coupons, taxes/VAT handling.
• Platform fees, revenue share, and transaction fees.
• Ownership/control: marketplace (discoverability) vs hosted platform (more control & brand).
• Integration with email/marketing, certificates, assessments, and analytics.

If you tell me whether you want a marketplace, a hosted platform you control, a self-hosted LMS, or which country/payment methods you need (e.g., U.S. cards + PayPal, India UPI, Europe SEPA), I can give a prioritized shortlist and note setup steps and fees.
