Q: Regarding No of Members & payment
In one of the comment, you have said that you can connect out third-party payment gateway which also generally charges 5% like lemon squeezy. But you also mention around 5% tax commission... so if I connect any other payment gateway, do I have to pay 10% ..OR... forento 5% you are charging ...will not be charged?
⭐️ so there is totally no restriction on how many number of community members or course members you can have? so totally free community channel with unlimited users?
✨ so if they there are hundred students who have enrolled so the leaderboard is also of hundred people? Can you divide the course members into groups?...use case is like Cohots. In cohort, there are generally 30 people group. So can we divide students?

Jan 29, 2025A: Hey YashP, thank you for your questions!
Here’s a breakdown of how Forento handles these features:
Payment Processing & Fees:
Forento allows you to use a third-party payment provider instead of the integrated PayPal or Stripe options, provided you have the No Commission Addon. This addon waives Forento's sales commission fee (applicable to our built-in payment options) and also enables you to manually, or through Zapier, set up external payment gateway processes.
Community & Course Members:
There is no limit to how many users you can have on your academy. You can create a free community channel, which allows anyone who signs up for your platform to participate.
Cohorts & Grouping Students
Currently, Forento does not have cohorting features to group users together. However, all users enrolled in a course will appear on a single list, with no restrictions on the number of participants.
Feel free to reach out through the live chat on our website if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help.
