How to Sell your Workbooks
Wobo makes it easy for creators to monetize their content by enabling payments through Stripe. With just a few steps, you can set up your Stripe account, put a price on your workbook, and start selling.

- Complete the liveness verification with Stripe.
- Once approved, the Stripe action banner disappears.
You can access your Stripe dashboard anytime via the Go to Stripe button on the Sales page.
2. Enable Payment for a Workbook
Once your Stripe account is set up, you can start charging for your workbooks.
To set a price:
- Click the Sell Your Workbook option to open the Share Link modal for a workbook in your creator dashboard.
1.a. Alternatively, go to your Workbook Editor, click on the Share button to open the Share Link modal.
- Enable the Payment Options toggle button to set a price for your workbook.
- Set a custom price for your workbook in USD.
- Your workbook price must atleast be $0.50 USD.
- Click Set Price. A success message will confirm the update.
- When pricing is enabled, a Paid tag with the set price appears for the workbooks in your dashboard.
Want to offer your workbook for free again? Simply disable the Payment Options toggle button — your workbook will be freely accessible.
4. Workbook Purchase Flow for Users
Once a workbook is published with a price, users can purchase and access it through the creator's shared workbook link.
User authentication:
- Users can access the workbook landing page via the creator’s shared link.
- Logged Out State:
- Users can sign up via email or Google SSO to purchase the workbook.
- Users can also log in via email or Google SSO to purchase the workbook.
- Logged In State:
- Users will be prompted to purchase the workbook if already logged in — they cannot access the workbook without completing payment.
If a user tries to repurchase the same workbook using the same email, they will see an enrollment error.
Purchase and access:
- Users will complete the payment through Stripe checkout.
- A success message appears after the payment is processed.
- Post-purchase, users can access the workbook, and:
- Responses are saved as usual.
- Content download works as expected for both creators and users.
- Users receive an email receipt from Stripe containing the correct workbook title.
If your Wobo account free trial or paid plan expires:
- When a creator's free trial expires, users will see a license expiration screen when trying to access a purchased workbook.
- When a creator's paid plan expires, the same expiration screen will be shown to users.
If the workbook has been switched from paid to free version, users can sign up or log in to access it without payment.
Logo branding
- The Stripe Checkout page displays your uploaded logo from Stripe, providing a branded payment experience for your users.
For paid workbooks, a price tag appears on the workbook tile in the user's dashboard.
