Accept bKash and SSLCommerz Payments in Bangladesh

If your students are in Bangladesh, they pay with bKash and local cards, not international cards. Mentor LMS connects to the gateways they actually use, so you can sell courses, exams and digital downloads in taka from a platform you own.

Gateways for Bangladesh

• bKash through EPS

  Take bKash payments through the EPS gateway, from the same checkout as every other method.

• SSLCommerz

  Accept cards, mobile banking and internet banking through SSLCommerz, set up in taka.

• Offline bank transfer

  Let students pay by transfer, then verify each payment by hand before access is granted.

The list of gateways grows with updates, so check the Mentor LMS page for the current one.

How to set it up

1. Open a merchant account. Apply with SSLCommerz or EPS. They give you the credentials for your store.
2. Enter them in Mentor LMS. In the admin payment settings, switch the gateway on, choose taka as the currency and paste in your credentials.
3. Test first. Start in test mode and make a purchase to check that the student gets access.
4. Go live. Switch to live mode when you are happy.

The installation guide and settings are in the Mentor LMS documentation.

Pay your instructors in Bangladesh too

If you run a multi-instructor marketplace, instructor payouts support SSLCommerz, so you can pay them through the same gateway your students use.
