About Upskwela
What is Upskwela?
Upskwela is an all-in-one community learning platform built for Filipino educators to manage courses, members, and payments in one place.
Who is Upskwela for?
Upskwela is for Filipino educators — including coaches, mentors, trainers, reviewers, and teaching creators — who want to build a paid learning community without juggling many tools.
Getting Started
I don't have an audience yet. Can I still use Upskwela?
Yes. Many educators start from scratch. Begin on the Free Forever plan with one small offer, share it with your existing network, and your community can also be found through the Upskwela discover pages.
Can your team help me launch my first offer?
Yes. Book a demo and our team will walk you through setting up your community, your first offer, and payments. We also help you migrate from another platform.
Monetization
How can I earn on Upskwela?
You can earn through memberships, course sales, paid events, and affiliate commissions, so you can combine recurring and one-time income streams.
Can I sell worksheets, reviewers, templates, and lesson plans?
Yes. You can sell them as paid resources and downloads, or bundle them into a membership so your learners get everything in one place.
Can I create multiple membership tiers?
Yes. You can offer multiple tiers with different prices and perks, then control which content each tier can access.
Can I sell courses and set my own price?
Yes. You can publish paid courses and choose your own pricing strategy, including one-time pricing, bundles, or premium access.
Can I sell paid event tickets?
Yes. You can run paid workshops, webinars, and live sessions with optional ticket tiers.
Affiliate Partnership
How does the Upskwela Affiliate Partnership work?
You earn 30% recurring commission when a referred creator subscribes and remains active on Upskwela.
Who should join the affiliate program?
Creators and partners who can refer educators to Upskwela. It works best if you already help people launch courses or communities.
Payments
Can I accept GCash and Maya payments?
Yes. Upskwela supports local payment methods including GCash, Maya, cards, and bank transfers.
What are the plan and transaction fees?
Upskwela has plan-based pricing in PHP plus a transaction fee per successful payment: FREE is 20% + ₱10, PLUS is 10% + ₱10, and PRO is 5% + ₱10. You can start on Free Forever and upgrade anytime.
How much will I receive after fees?
It depends on your plan. For example, on a ₱500 sale: the Free plan fee is ₱110 (20% + ₱10), so you receive ₱390. On Plus the fee is ₱60 (10% + ₱10), so you receive ₱440. On Pro the fee is ₱35 (5% + ₱10), so you receive ₱465.
What happens if a student asks for a refund?
Refunds follow Upskwela refund rules and applicable law. If a refund is issued, the amount may be deducted from your balance before payout. Contact hello@upskwela.com for help with a specific case.
Is pricing per user or per community?
Creator subscriptions are billed per community. Learners only pay the membership price set by each creator.
Payouts
How often will I get paid?
Payouts are on-demand. You can request a payout anytime once your balance is eligible.
What's the minimum payout amount?
The minimum payout threshold is ₱100. Your balance must reach this amount before you can request a payout.
Is there a fee for payouts?
Yes, there is a ₱10 transaction fee per payout to cover disbursement costs. This fee is deducted from your payout amount.
Where can I receive payouts?
You can receive payouts to Philippine bank accounts and supported e-wallets like GCash and Maya.
Community
How do I create a community?
From your dashboard, click "Create Community", complete your basic details, and publish when ready.
What community features are included?
You can run discussions, gated content, courses, events, and member management inside one community workspace.
Can I export my members and content?
Yes. You own your member list and your data, and you can export your data anytime — unlike social platforms where the algorithm controls your reach.
