Hi Adrian! Has Forento enabled iDEAL as a payment option within it's stripe integration? Or is this something that could be (easily) implemented in the future? Thx in advance!
I'm also curious if ideal could be added as a payment option for my clients
Q: Am I right that Drip Content and Zapier Integration are not included in any plan?
If I'm reading this right, even if I purchase Tier 6, I still won't get the ability to drip content, use Zapier, add multiple channel communities or create certificates unless I purchase the Scale Add-on, which is $50 a month.
I just want to clarify because on your website the Scale Plan is $119/month with 0% sales commission. So after purchasing the Tier 6 plan I'd still have to pay $79 ($50 + $29) per month to equal the Scale Plan, which is only a savings of $40 per month. And if you add in the Tier 6 cost ($294) and amortize it over one year, that brings it to $104, which means for the first year I'm only saving $15 per month versus your top plan purchased on your website.
I appreciate you taking the time to run numbers for the optional upgrades available for lifetime deal customers of Forento. Your math has a few flaws; the actual price for these features is a lot cheaper than what you came up with. I'm happy to advise on how to best get set up, to get as much access as possible, for as little as possible.
To clarify: the highest tier available here on AppSumo is still a Start plan (same as tier 2). The only difference between getting two codes ($98) and six codes ($294) is the sales commission rate being 2% instead of 10%.
All lifetime deal members have the option of getting the Scale plan addon for $50/month. This means that you can get access to ALL that Forento has to offer for only $50/month. If you plan on getting this addon, there's no reason to get more than a single code. Getting six codes and then getting the $50/month addon would be redundant, as all the features would be included in the addon anyway.
Also, I want to clarify two things that I believe you got wrong in your math: - You don't need to get the Scale plan addon for $50/month and then also the No Commission addon for $29/month. The Scale addon includes everything from the No Commission addon.
- The original Scale plan is not $119/month, it's $149/month. The $119/month price is only if you pay annually.
Again, thank you for taking the time to run the numbers. I appreciate you being interested in Forento and being careful when it comes to picking a plan for your training initiative.
Feel free to let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
Well that makes a lot more sense: $98 down + $50/month w/0% commission is a LOT better than $294 down + $79/month.
The way *I* was calculating made the deal less valuable than Kajabi or Kartra, for fewer features.
Thanks for clarifying! ~ Bruce
Q: Forento Team
Hi Forento Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I'm considering purchasing the Forento lifetime deal on AppSumo and have been reviewing the features included. Before making a decision, I wanted to confirm whether the following features from your Scale plan are included in the AppSumo offer:
Product bundling
Drip content scheduling
Course completion certificates
Zapier integration
Manual product assignment
Multiple community channels
Unlimited admin accounts
These features are crucial for my business needs, and understanding their availability in the AppSumo deal will help me make an informed decision.
Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.
Since you can't assign products to customers, you can't sell individual courses. And the fact that you can't give them a certificate of completion is just ridiculous. Unfortunately I'll be refunding this.
The above para is from one of your reviewers. Can you please elaborate on it?
Yes, you can sell individual courses (or other products, like digital downloads or sessions) without any limitation. Products can be sold individually, in bundles, or as subscription memberships (monthly or annually).
With that said however, the review is correct about automated certificate generation and issuing is not included in any of the lifetime deals that we offer.
Thanks Adrian for your reply. I'm not bothered about certificates, all I want is to offer courses. I'm an individual and I will be only having 1-2 courses for the next six months. If I can't sell an individual course, then the product is of no use to me. So, I'll go ahead with the basic LTD plan first if you confirm again that selling individual courses (up to 2) for rest of year is not a problem.
Hi again arif275. Yes, I can confirm that you can sell individual courses. You can get any of our lifetime deal plans and, without limitation, offer your courses for sale (or free).
A: Hey lourenco.azevedo, thank you for the question.
Yes, you can invite people to sign up for your academy in bulk. There's an "Invite users" feature where you can upload a CSV with email addresses, and an invite will be sent to them inviting them to sign up. The email itself can be customized with HTML so that it fits your brand and style.

Is this math right?
