Ruzuku integrations overview
In this article: A quick look at every integration Ruzuku supports, what each one does, and when you'd want to set it up. All Plans
Ruzuku connects with four external services. Each one handles something specific. Here's what's available, what it does for you, and where to go for setup details.
All integrations are available on every Ruzuku plan, including Free.
Stripe — accept payments
Stripe processes credit and debit card payments for your courses. It supports all four price point types: free enrollment, single payments, payment plans, and subscriptions.
When you need it: As soon as you want to charge for a course. Most creators connect Stripe first.
Key details:
- Ruzuku charges 0% transaction fees. You only pay Stripe's standard processing fee (around 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction in the US).
- Supports single payments, payment plans, and subscriptions.
- Payments go directly to your Stripe account. Ruzuku never holds your funds.
- Setup takes about 2 minutes.
PayPal — accept single payments
PayPal gives students an additional way to pay using their PayPal account. It works alongside Stripe for single payment price points.
When you need it: When you want to offer PayPal as a checkout option. Some students prefer PayPal, especially outside the US.
Key details:
- Supports single payments only. Payment plans and subscriptions require Stripe.
- If both Stripe and PayPal are connected, students see both options at checkout for single payment price points.
- Setup takes about 5 minutes (you'll need to generate API credentials in the PayPal Developer portal).
Zoom — live meetings in your courses
Zoom lets you run live video meetings directly from your course. You connect your Zoom account once, then create Zoom meetings inside any course.
When you need it: When you want to host live sessions, coaching calls, or webinars as part of your course and prefer Zoom over Ruzuku's built-in video meetings.
Key details:
- Students join Zoom meetings from inside the course, with no separate link to share.
- You can schedule recurring meetings for cohort-based courses.
- Ruzuku also has built-in video meetings (up to 60 participants for video conferencing, up to 250 for presentations). Zoom is an alternative if you need Zoom-specific features or your students are already comfortable with Zoom.
Zapier — connect Ruzuku to 5,000+ apps
Zapier automates workflows between Ruzuku and other tools. When something happens in Ruzuku (a student enrolls, completes a lesson), Zapier can trigger an action in another app (add them to your email list, log the payment in a spreadsheet, send a notification).
When you need it: When you want to automate repetitive tasks like syncing students to your email marketing tool or logging enrollments to a spreadsheet.
Key details:
- Works through Ruzuku's API key (generated in your Account settings).
- Supports triggers for student enrollment, lesson completion, and course completion.
- Zapier has a free plan for basic automations. More complex setups may require a paid Zapier plan.
- Common recipes: sync new students to ConvertKit or Mailchimp, log payments to Google Sheets, send Slack notifications when someone enrolls.
Where to manage integrations
All integrations are managed from the same place:
- Click the dropdown arrow in the upper-right corner of your Ruzuku dashboard.
- Click Account.
- Click Integrations.
You can also reach payment integrations from inside a course. When you go to Manage Course → Price Points on a course without a payment processor connected, Ruzuku prompts you to set one up.
