  Greetings.
  I wish to make a subscription-based website where, students, can learn spanish after they pay a certain amount to us. Can you please help me? How should I proceed? Is it available on WordPress?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I think this post will be able to assist you:

  To quote amandasjackson:

  Hello there,

  I’m looking to setup a blog/newsletter where I can have paid subscribers

  While WordPress.com allows for you to set up subscriptions to your site, (see here for details: https://en.support.wordpress.com/subscriptions-and-newsletters/), there are also restrictions on how you are allowed to monetize your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/

  You can also upgrade to a Business Plan: https://wordpress.com/pricing/. This will allow you to install plugins such as WooCommerce https://woocommerce.com/, but again there are some restrictions of what you can and cannot do with WordPress.com.

  Here is a link to a thread that discusses the Business Plan and PayPal on WordPress.com a little further: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/premium-plan-52?replies=3#post-2988581

  For what you are describing, you may want to look into switching to a self-hosted WordPress.org site, and installing a paid membership plugin. Here are a few links with some useful information regarding WordPress.org and plugins:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  https://wordpress.org/
  https://wordpress.org/plugins
  https://wordpress.org/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/

  Hope this helps to guide you in the right direction :)

  Hi,

  Here is a little addition to what @kaitwaters mentioned.

  If you have the WordPress.com Business Plan you will be able to download Plugins. There is a plugin that you can download that allows you to create and sell courses. I’ve used it before.

  It’s called LifterLMS.

  That would help you get what you are looking for.
