FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Create customer subscriptions when students enroll in courses” between Synap and PayPal?

Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Synap and PayPal's public API docs (or your own uploaded docs) and builds a working workflow, whether or not either app already has a pre-built connector.

How long does it take to build?

Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.

How does connecting Synap with PayPal automate course enrollment?

When a user purchases a subscription in PayPal, they are automatically registered and activated as a student in Synap without manual administration.

What happens in Synap if a subscriber's payment fails in PayPal?

Failed payments or canceled subscriptions in PayPal can inform student account management in Synap to control access effectively.
