In some EU countries, people prefer alternative forms of payments instead of the use of credit cards. LearnWorlds comes to meet such needs by helping entrepreneurs in those countries accept payments in the way they are used to. This makes us the only global course platform that accepts local payment methods that European customers are familiar with.
This is possible with our Stripe integration, which allows you to accept local payments through:
Such payment options allow you to keep in touch with the European audience which is more likely to be reluctant to buy a course with a credit card or PayPal payment.

Our GDPR toolkit comes with a comprehensive set of capabilities and granular settings that help your school become and stay GDPR-compliant, enabling you to carry on your business while staying in line with the current European laws.
This initiative results from many case study explorations and thorough research into the best practices and legal documentation that were required by law to take place.

Marketing opt-ins for all your lead-capturing forms
The toolkit comes with easily customizable opt-in forms, checkboxes, and text. The opt-in data you collect are stored in the platform so that you can have the digital evidence formally required by GDPR.
Cookie opt-ins for your school visitors
Show users cookie opt-ins that can be fully customizable to match the theme of your online school and fit to your business needs.
Email opt-ins for your users
Offer your users the opportunity to opt-in and -out of certain emails sent out via the platform, such as notifications about users’ activity and promotional emails.
GDPR Data Requests for your users
With the Data Access and Data Deletion requests, users can have their ‘right to be forgotten’ and you can anonymize or delete their personally-identifiable data and account information.
Granular Control
Granular control allows you to cherry-pick which GDPR-related capabilities you want to enable in your school. Using Geolocation you can select to which users these apply e.g. EU-based customers.
With such capabilities, LearnWorlds ensures that the data privacy of your students is respected to the fullest.

Securing your intellectual property is important, but it shouldn’t prevent you from sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world.
This is the reason we invested a great deal of work, LearnWorlds to come up with a unique set of features that can help protect your intellectual property. Today, it is the only course platform that offers built-in copyright protection functionality, and we take a great deal of pride in that.
Those will discourage pirates from copying or sharing your content in the web, and offer added security to your school.
Whatmore, you don’t even have to spend time and money on third-party products to get a similar result.
LearnWorlds can help protect your online school and courses through the following features:
Video Download Restrictions
Videos uploaded and hosted on LearnWorlds use domain restricted access, which means, a non-logged in user cannot access them and can’t download them. We also restrict by default any downloading or saving option. An average user can’t copy, save, or download the videos in your LearnWorlds account.
Video Watermarking
Using LearnWorlds, you can enable the Video Watermark settings to show unique identifiers on top of your videos. These may be your logo, your user email, or unique ID and you can choose them to show up in different places or in random rotation around the video to prevent screen recorders from getting your content and sharing it.
PDF Protection
With PDF protection, you can give access to your PDF files or fully restrict them. Simply choose the level of security you want for your PDFs and disable or enable PDF file downloads, copy, and print.
PDF Stamping
LearnWorlds’ built-in function to stamp each PDF allows you to add an identifier on top of every PDF your students see. This can be your logo, your name, user email, or user ID.
With PDF stamping, you can discourage sharing, and if you find someone sharing your content online, you can identify them by their unique id or email
