Forento is a cloud‑based platform that enables creators to build and sell online courses, digital downloads, coaching sessions, events, and video products. It provides a customizable academy environment with options for branding, membership subscriptions, integrated community features, and a drag‑and‑drop website builder. The system includes analytics, multilingual site options, domain support, and integrations with Stripe and PayPal. It operates through lifetime deal tiers that apply sales commissions between 2–10%, with optional add-ons for zero‑commission sales and advanced features. Hosting is included for supported plans, and users can manage both product catalogs and community interactions directly within the platform.
