The Right Payment Setup = More Sales. Here’s How Kajabi Helps You Get It Right
You’ve built the course. Crafted the offer. Nailed the messaging.
But if your checkout feels clunky—or worse—untrustworthy? That hard work vanishes in a cart abandonment.
That’s why Kajabi gives you three seamless, secure, and professional payment options:
✅ Kajabi Payments (their newest all-in-one solution)
✅ Stripe (developer-friendly & globally robust)
✅ PayPal (the trusted name for 200+ million users)
Not just integrations—deeply native experiences designed to convert. Let’s break them down.
🚀 Kajabi Payments: Built for Kajabi Creators
Think of this as Kajabi’s native payments engine—fully integrated, zero third-party redirects, and packed with creator-centric perks:
🔹 What Makes It Special?
- One-click upsells & order bumps built into the checkout flow
- 12+ global payment methods: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Afterpay, Klarna (region-dependent)
- All-in-one dashboard: view sales, issue refunds, manage payouts—no switching tabs
- Low, transparent fees: same as major providers (no Kajabi markup!)
- Instant payouts to your bank account (US, CA, AU only for now)
“Kajabi Payments isn’t just simpler—it converts better. Fewer steps = fewer drop-offs.”
🔗 Ideal for: US, Canada, and Australia-based creators who want maximum control + conversion.
💳 Stripe: Power + Flexibility for Global Scaling
Stripe is the go-to for tech-savvy creators and high-volume sellers—trusted by Amazon, Shopify, and Salesforce.
🔹 Why Choose Stripe?
- 34+ countries supported (more than Kajabi Payments)
- Advanced fraud protection (Radar) built in
- Customizable checkout (via Stripe Elements)
- Subscription dunning (auto-retry failed payments)
- Multi-currency support—ideal for international audiences
Pro tip: Use Stripe + Kajabi’s native upsell funnels for maximum revenue per visitor.
🔗 Ideal for: Creators scaling globally, running complex memberships, or needing deep customization.
🌐 PayPal: Trust & Familiarity = Higher Conversion
Let’s face it—many buyers won’t complete a purchase unless they see the PayPal logo. It’s psychological safety.
🔹 PayPal’s Superpower:
- 200+ million active accounts = instant recognition & trust
- Guest checkout (no account needed)
- Buyer & seller protection reduces chargebacks
- One-tap checkout for returning users
“Even if you prefer Stripe, adding PayPal can lift conversions by 5–15%. It’s low-hanging fruit.”
⚠️ Note: PayPal charges its standard fee—Kajabi never takes a cut of your revenue. Ever.
🔗 Ideal for: Beginners, audiences in emerging markets, or anyone prioritizing trust over tech depth.
🔑 Pro Strategy: Use All Three (Seriously)
Here’s how top Kajabi creators optimize:
- Default to Kajabi Payments (for speed + upsells)
- Add Stripe as backup for international buyers
- Enable PayPal as a trust badge + fallback
→ This combo covers 99% of buyer preferences and removes psychological friction.
💡 Fun fact: Kajabi creators who offer 2+ payment options see 18% higher checkout completion (Kajabi internal data, 2025).
Final Thought: Your Payment Page Is Your Close. Make It Count.
You wouldn’t hand someone a leaky bucket to carry water.
Don’t hand your audience a clunky, insecure, or limited checkout.
With Kajabi’s trio of payment partners—Kajabi Payments, Stripe, and PayPal—you’re not just accepting money…
You’re removing friction, building trust, and turning visitors into lifelong customers.
