Q: Does AppSumo include API, webhooks, PayFast/CheckoutJoy support, and Thinkific migration?
I'm currently using Thinkific for NDT training courses and am considering moving to OnlineCourseHost.
A few quick questions:
• Is API access included with the AppSumo deal?
• Are webhooks available for purchases, enrollments, and course completions?
• Can I connect external tools via API, Zapier etc
• Can I use an external checkout/payment solution such as CheckoutJoy with PayFast (South Africa)?
• If a student pays through an external gateway, can they be automatically enrolled in a course?
• Can I add custom HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and tracking code?
• Can I migrate my existing Thinkific students, courses, and enrollments?
• Is migration assistance available?
• Can I use my own domain and fully white-label the platform?
These are the main reasons I'd need to upgrade to a much higher Thinkific plan

Jun 17, 2026A: Hello there,
Thank you for writing in.
Below are the answers to your questions:
1 and 2. No, we do not offer API and webhooks generally on the platform.
3. Yes, you can connect to Zapier and Pabbly on the platform.
4. The only direct payment gateways available on the platform are Stripe and PayPal. But then, you can add the link to your external payment gateway to your course sales page and receive payments outside the platform.
5. When students pay outside the platform, you need to manually enroll them or use Zapier and/or Pabbly to automatically enroll them.
6. Yes, there is a custom CSS screen for you to add your code.
7. Yes, we can migrate your students and enroll them in their courses when you provide their information. However, courses cannot be migrated. You will need to re-upload your courses or use SCORM.
8. Yes, for students and enrollments.
9. Yes, you can use your domain and whitelabel the platform. But the login URL of every website uses the same login URL as our main website, and this cannot be modified at the moment.
If you need more information, please contact our support team at [email protected].
Kind regards,
