konrad_gQ: Video courses
Hi.
We want to create an online craft course. It will consist of about 10 videos and we estimate it might take 10 hours. We want to expand it in the future.
I have questions that will help me decide:
1. Does the end-user interface support Polish?
2. Are payments in PLN (Polish currency) possible? I think Stripe does. The question is, does it support the Polish BLIK gateway (which is becoming international).
3. Is it possible to host video files with an external provider (YouTube by default, but I'm also considering Gumlet.com).
4. I have a WooCommerce website - is there integration? Alternatively, can I use a subdomain on my domain? Or maybe a new domain?
5. 4. If I host videos with you, are they somehow protected from downloading?
Which plan do you recommend?
I would appreciate your answers. They will help me decide.

Dec 1, 2025A: Hey konrad_g, thank you for the questions.
It sounds like Forento is the perfect fit for what you're looking to create. I'm happy to answer all of your questions and help you evaluate which plan suits you best, and how to move forward.
1. No, the academy language options do not include Polish as of today. We'd be happy to add it, though, if you'd be open to helping with proofreading the translations.
2. Yes, you can select to use PLN as your academy currency. Assuming that it's available through your selected payment gateway (Stripe or PayPal), it will also be displayed as an option within Forento. As of now, we don't integrate with BLIK (or any other payment gateway, other than Stripe/PayPal).
3. Yes, you can host your videos on YouTube, and then embed them easily into your Forento course.
4. There's no integration between Forento and WooCommerce, but many creators on Forento use external website solutions. You can easily use your existing website to link to your academy, adding buttons such as "log-in," "sign-up," or similar.
5. Yes, Forento does everything in its power to block people from downloading your video material (unless it's uploaded specifically to be downloaded, like an attachment or digital download product).
I would recommend getting the Basic plan. It's a great way to start, and you'll be able to see if the core platform is what you're looking for. Depending on how many sales you're forecasting, I would suggest looking into the three different Basic tiers (with 10%, 5% or 2% sales commission, depending on how much you expect to sell)
Feel free to reach out through the live chat on our website if you have any other questions.
