Udemy Payment Option

You can choose any one of the four payment methods that is most suitable for you. Let me explain the first two methods in detail.

1. International Debit and Credit Cards

You can use a debit or credit card with International validity to pay for your chosen course. Udemy supports all major credit and debit cards. You can use Visa, MasterCard, Amex and Discover.

You can also use this option if you have a card that is valid in your country and Udemy accepts payment in your country’s currency. In this case you do not need a card with International validity.

Once you select this option, Udemy will show you a form that is similar to the following figure.

After filling the form details, you can hit the “Complete Payment” option. After successfully completing the payment, Udemy will inform you that your payment is done. You will be taken to a page that is similar to the following figure.

How To Buy Udemy Course at a Cheap Price?

Udemy programs are priced between $20 and $200 but you should never buy a course at its full price.

Most of the time Udemy is running one promotion or the other. If you are lucky, you can buy courses for as little as $10. You can find the current promotional offer by going to the Udemy Homepage.

Here are my few suggestions to buy a course for a very little price.

1. Don’t Buy Immediately

Udemy keeps on running promotional offers. So, a $100 course’s price could drop to about $10-$15 in a day or two. So, it is prudent to wait to check the price again. However, you should check often as Udemy often has flash sales that last only for a couple of days.

I would suggest you to shortlist your courses and buy then in bulk when you see a promotion.

2. Avoid Coupon Sites

So, what’s the problem with Coupons Sites for Udemy?

Well, almost all coupon sites have expired coupons. The coupons don’t work and the sites just aim to increase their revenue with the traffic.

I will strongly advise you against using these websites’ coupons. You can directly go to Udemy to check the current offer7.

3. Use PC Browser Instead of Udemy Mobile App

You can use Udemy’s mobile app to buy a course but you should avoid it. The prices are usually higher on Udemy’s mobile app as Udemy has to share a part of its revenue with Google or Apple.

I would recommend you to always use a desktop browser to pay for your courses. You can use any of the following browsers:

  1. Safari
  2. Google Chrome
  3. Mozilla Firefox
  4. Opera or any other
