What teams ask before connecting
Is Boleto only available for Brazilian schools, or can any school turn it on?
Only if your Stripe account supports it. The account needs to support Brazilian Real, and its country needs to support Boleto. The help article names Brazil as that country. Your school currency also has to be BRL.
Do I need to set up anything in Stripe before Boleto appears in LearnWorlds?
Yes. Turn on Boleto in your Stripe dashboard under Settings > Payment methods, and connect Stripe to your school in Settings > Financial > Payment Gateway. Then activate Boleto in the Stripe payment methods list.
Does the learner get enrolled immediately after generating a Boleto, or only after payment clears?
Only after payment clears. LearnWorlds recognizes the payment and gives course access after a successful authorization. The learner has 7 days to pay before the voucher expires.

Who uses the Boleto integration and how
Course creators selling in Brazil
A learner picks Boleto at checkout, saves the voucher, and pays by cash or card at a kiosk within 7 days. Access opens once the payment is authorized.
School admins reviewing Boleto sales
An admin opens Report Center, checks Sales > Order or the Activity History Events page, and confirms which Boleto purchases succeeded.
School owners with existing PagSeguro accounts
Schools that already activated PagSeguro keep Boleto support there. New PagSeguro customers can’t use the provider with LearnWorlds, so they set up Boleto through Stripe.
