Why experts choose Forento for their training business

Having used other learning management systems in the past, I found that most were overly complex and included features I didn't need. Forento, on the other hand, was just right for a solo entrepreneur like me.

Questions before you build your academy

Who is Forento for?

Forento is built for coaches, consultants, educators, and other experts who want to sell their knowledge. You can start with an individual course or resource and add memberships as your offer develops.

Can I keep my existing website?

Yes. Link your website to your Forento academy. Basic and above let you use a custom domain, including a subdomain of your existing site. Start and Scale include a website builder if you want to build your site in Forento.

What is the difference between Free and the trial?

Free is an ongoing plan with no recurring subscription and a 20% sales commission. The 30-day trial lets you evaluate a paid plan. Paid plans have no Forento sales commission; payment processor fees still apply.

Can I move from another course platform?

You can upload your course material and recreate your offer in Forento. Ask us about your setup before moving existing students or subscriptions, as the steps depend on your current platform and payment provider.

Can I receive payments in my country?

Forento connects to Stripe and PayPal. Your ability to open an account and the available payment methods depend on your country and provider. Check their requirements before choosing your payment setup.

What help is available?

Every plan includes chat support. Start and Scale are recommended when you need more comprehensive onboarding and setup assistance. Tell us what you teach and how you want to sell it.
