Installments via invoices
Issue several invoices for parts of a course from the dashboard.
The Telegram audience

The fastest way to start is manual invoices: a manager creates an invoice in the dashboard or the Telegram bot and sends the student a link. As volume grows, connect the API to your platform.
If you sell through Telegram — a channel, a bot or a mini app — accepting TON covers most of your customers without sending them to exchanges.
