Q: What if I don't want all that?
In an answer to another Sumoling about you all taking a percentage of our students' payments, you said ""Our share allows us to process your learner payments, calculate and file sales taxes on your courses, provide technical support to your learners..."
I don't want anyone else doing any of this for me. I can process my own payments with my own Stripe account, calculate my own sales taxes with my own Stripe account and be personable with my students and provide them with tech support.
I could have digested the idea of revenue-sharing if you'd said something like "the percentage we take helps us offset the cost of offering lifetime plans and still be able to afford to grow long-term." You mention nothing about growth.
How can I pay you here on AppSumo and then use your product keeping 100% of what my students pay me for my courses?

Apr 13, 2025A: Hi Faydra, thanks for your question. Our revenue shares only apply if you choose to sell places on your courses directly through Steppit, which would mean using the platform to process payments automatically. In your case, where you can process your own payments, the best solution would be to sell your courses off-Steppit (e.g. via your own website or e-commerce platform), and then use the monthly enrollments included with your AppSumo license to add students to your classes – this gives you the autonomy to handle student payments yourself and lets you use Steppit simply as a means to deliver your courses and give students a great learning experience. Hope this answers your question!
