A pre-built TouchNet integration helps higher-education teams expand online training while keeping institutional payment systems.
Organizations in higher education face a unique challenge when launching or expanding online training programs.
While many learning platforms can deliver courses, universities and educational institutions often operate within established financial systems, payment workflows, compliance requirements, and purchasing processes that aren't easily replaced.
For institutions that use TouchNet, those requirements can significantly narrow the list of technology solutions available.
That's why LearningCart has continued to invest in TouchNet integrations as part of its commitment to serving higher education, continuing education, and workforce development organizations.
As a TouchNet Ready Validated Partner, LearningCart helps institutions launch and grow training programs while maintaining the payment infrastructure they already rely on. LearningCart has worked with educational institutions using TouchNet since 2020 and has successfully supported integrations across universities, workforce development organizations, and continuing education programs.
Why TouchNet Matters
For many educational institutions, TouchNet serves as a critical part of the payment and commerce ecosystem.
Unlike a standard payment gateway integration, TouchNet implementations often involve institution-specific security reviews, credentials, and coordination between multiple stakeholders. LearningCart's experience working within these environments helps streamline the process for organizations that require TouchNet as part of their technology ecosystem.
Instead of requiring organizations to redesign internal processes, LearningCart can integrate directly into those established workflows through TouchNet.
The result is a smoother experience for administrators, finance teams, and learners alike.
Built for Higher Education and Workforce Development
This partnership is especially valuable for organizations that serve both internal and external learners.
Today, many universities expand beyond traditional degree programs and offer:
- Workforce development training
- Professional certifications
- Continuing education programs
- Community outreach courses
- Industry partnerships
- Corporate training initiatives
These programs create new opportunities for revenue generation and community impact, but they also introduce operational complexity.
LearningCart helps institutions manage the entire learner journey, from registration and payment through course delivery, reporting, certifications, and continuing education tracking, while maintaining alignment with existing university payment processes.
A Proven Solution in Action
While LearningCart has supported dozens of TouchNet integrations to-date the value of this integration was recently demonstrated through LearningCart's work with the Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership (GaMEP), part of Georgia Tech.
As GaMEP expanded its online training initiatives, the organization needed more than a learning management system. It required a platform capable of delivering training while working within university purchasing and payment requirements.
By combining LearningCart's eCommerce and learning management capabilities with TouchNet payment processing, GaMEP was able to create a streamlined experience for both learners and administrators.
Today, manufacturers across Georgia can register for training, maintain certifications, and access educational resources through a single, scalable platform that supports GaMEP's mission.
What the Partnership Means for LearningCart Clients
As a TouchNet Ready Validated Partner, LearningCart combines learning management, eCommerce, and TouchNet payment processing into a single training commerce solution.
Organizations benefit from:
- TouchNet-ready payment integration
- Support for university purchasing and payment workflows
- Secure payment processing
- Course storefront and eCommerce capabilities
- Registration, certification, and continuing education tracking
- Simplified learner and administrator experiences
- A platform designed for both internal and external training audiences
For organizations already using TouchNet, this means less time managing integrations and more time focused on delivering impactful training experiences.
Looking Ahead
Higher education constantly gets asked to do more with their programs. The challenge isn't simply delivering content. It's doing so while working within the systems, security requirements, and financial processes already established across the institution.
LearningCart's TouchNet integration helps bridge that gap, giving colleges, universities, and educational organizations a learning commerce platform that fits into their existing ecosystem rather than forcing them to replace it.
Whether you're launching a new training initiative or expanding an existing program, LearningCart can help you create a seamless experience for learners, administrators, and finance teams alike.
