What email marketing platform supports paid workshop sign-ups with a hosted landing page?

Anonymous • in 3 weeks • 1 answer

I’m running a paid workshop and want to promote it through email marketing. I’d like students to register on a hosted landing page provided by the email marketing platform, and I need it to connect to a payment processor.

Which email marketing tools support hosted registration/landing pages with payment collection for workshop sign-ups, and what should I look for when choosing one?

Hi! A handful of email marketing platforms can give you a hosted landing/registration page and take paid workshop sign-ups (usually via Stripe, sometimes PayPal). The best fit depends on whether you want a true “all-in-one” checkout inside the email platform, or you’re okay with embedding/connecting an external checkout.

Here are solid options that support hosted pages + payment collection (or very close to it):

  • MailerLite – Lets you build hosted landing pages/websites and add Stripe-powered product/checkout blocks, so people can pay from your MailerLite page and you can automatically group/tag buyers for automation.
  • Kit (formerly ConvertKit) – Built for creators; includes “Commerce” features powered by Stripe and lets you sell from a Kit landing page (or email) and trigger automations based on purchases.
  • Flodesk – Offers “Flodesk Checkout” (Stripe-powered) with hosted sales/checkout pages, then you can run your email marketing and automation around buyers vs non-buyers.
  • AWeber – Has landing pages with an Ecommerce element that connects to Stripe so you can accept payments directly from the landing page and add purchasers to your list.
  • GetResponse – Its funnel/sales-page tooling can generate pages and attach order forms that take payments via Stripe (and in some setups PayPal), then you can follow up with email automation.

If you already love a different ESP (like ActiveCampaign, Brevo, etc.), many of them don’t do “native hosted checkout” as cleanly, but you can still run the workflow by using a dedicated checkout/registration tool (Stripe Checkout, Eventbrite, etc.) and syncing purchasers back to your email list via an integration—just note that’s no longer “provided by the email marketing platform” end-to-end.

What to look for when choosing (workshop-specific)

  1. Purchase → subscriber tracking (automatic segmentation)
  • Can the platform automatically tag/group people who paid, and optionally mark “refunded/canceled”?
  • Can you trigger an automation immediately after purchase (confirmation, prep emails, reminders)?
  1. A clean registration experience
  • Hosted page builder quality (mobile-friendly, fast, simple).
  • Ability to collect the fields you need (name, email, maybe phone/time zone), without making the form clunky.
  1. Capacity + logistics
  • If your workshop has limited seats, check whether it can enforce capacity limits or whether you’ll need a workaround (or a dedicated event tool).
  • Make sure you can easily send calendar details / Zoom link / location info in confirmation and reminder emails.
  1. Payments + refunds reality
  • Which processor(s) are supported (most of the “native” ones are Stripe-first).
  • How refunds/cancellations are handled and whether that status can feed back into your segmentation (important for deliverability and customer experience).
  1. Deliverability + compliance controls
  • Easy unsubscribe handling, clear consent language, and (if you need it) double opt-in.
  • Separation of transactional confirmations vs marketing emails (so you don’t accidentally spam people who only intended to receive essential workshop info).
  1. Total cost (not just the monthly plan)
  • Some platforms add an extra transaction fee on top of Stripe processing, and pricing can jump with subscriber count.

If you tell me (1) your expected attendee count, (2) whether you need seat limits/waitlist, and (3) Stripe vs PayPal preference, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 choices for your exact workshop setup.
