Why Kursimple
Everything included. One price. No surprises.
Other providers sell modules, take a commission on every booking or tie you in for two years. We do not.
0 % commission
You pay a fixed monthly amount. Not 2 to 6 per cent of every booking and no fee per participant. Growing costs you nothing extra.
Cancel monthly
No annual contracts, no set-up fee. You stay because it works, not because you have to.
Real people on the phone
Support from Meppen that knows your system. Special requests get built, and we move your data over from your old system.
New: e-invoicing with ZUGFeRD
E-invoicing is already built into your system
For invoices to businesses, e-invoicing is becoming mandatory in Germany step by step. On request Kursimple creates every invoice as a ZUGFeRD e-invoice – a PDF your customers read as usual, with invoice data that accounting software picks up directly.
- ZUGFeRD 2.5.2 in the EN 16931 profile, as PDF/A-3 – one of the formats permitted for e-invoices in Germany.
- Checked before every dispatch: if something is missing, Kursimple tells you what to add.
- Archived unchanged: every download and every resend delivers exactly the same file.
- Invoices, credit notes, reminders, subscription invoices – switch it on once, with no extra work for you.
Payment methods
Let people pay the way they like
Six payment methods – you choose which ones to offer, we switch them on for you. The money always goes straight to you; Kursimple does not take a cut of any payment.
Invoice & bank transfer
An invoice with your own number range and payment term, as an e-invoice if you wish. Incoming payments are marked off with a click or imported.
SEPA direct debit
Mandate stored with the customer, pre-notification on the invoice, collective direct debit as a file for your bank – without a payment service provider.
Cash
For registrations on site or over the phone – with an invoice and the payment recorded in Kursimple.
PayPal
Participants pay while booking, the money goes straight into your own PayPal account.
pmPayment
E-payment for public authorities via GovConnect: participants pay while booking, the confirmation only goes out once the payment has arrived.
Mollie
Pay online while booking, through your own Mollie account.
Features

New: the Kursimple network
Many course leaders, one shared programme
For family centres, networks and associations with several locations: every course leader works in their own Kursimple. Your participants find all courses on one shared page and book them in a single cart.
- One shared page with all courses, a filter by course leader and a calendar view.
- One checkout for everything: address and participants entered once – each course leader gets their own order and invoice.
- Data stays separate: customers, orders and invoices are only visible to the course leader concerned.
- Shared rooms without double bookings: the centre sets up venues and rooms once, overlaps are blocked.

What I find remarkable about Kursimple is that my individual wishes find a place here and get implemented. At the start I had a lot of questions about the software, and they were always answered warmly and in detail.
Online booking is very popular with our courses and makes our work much easier. Support is always reachable and quick to offer a solution – there are real people behind it.
It helps us reach participants quickly and easily. All our communication is faster and simpler thanks to Kursimple.
Kursimple makes the work noticeably easier! What stands out most for me is how quickly I can get in touch with my course participants.
Getting started
Three steps to your own course management
Create a test system
Name, preferred subdomain, email address. Thirty seconds later your own Kursimple is there with sample data – free for 30 days.
A demo with us
In 30 minutes we show you Kursimple with your real programme and answer every question. By phone or by video.
Get going
Your test system becomes the live system. We move existing customer and course data over from a spreadsheet or your old system.
Frequently asked
What course providers ask us before they start
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. Kursimple is built for people who teach courses, not for IT departments. Every page has built-in help, and we set your system up together with you.
Can I bring my existing customers and courses?
Yes. We move existing customer and course data over for you – from a spreadsheet, a CSV file or your old system. In the Pro plan the migration is included, otherwise on request.
How do my participants pay?
At the checkout participants choose between invoice/bank transfer, SEPA direct debit, PayPal and cash – we set up the methods you want to offer. Direct debits are exported as a collected SEPA file for your bank, PayPal payments go into your own PayPal account. The money comes straight to you, without a detour through us and without commission.
Does Kursimple fit into my existing website?
Yes. You can link to your course website under your own domain, or pull the course programme into your existing site through the REST API. Many customers also use Kursimple as their complete website with their own pages.
Where is my data stored?
On servers in Germany, GDPR compliant, with a daily backup. You set the deletion periods for customer data yourself, and consents are documented.
What happens after the 30-day trial?
You decide. If you carry on, your test system becomes the live system with all its data. If not, we delete it. There is no automatic renewal and no credit card for us to charge.
Can I change plan later?
At any time, at the end of the month, up or down. Your data and settings stay as they are.
Teach courses without the stress. Starting tomorrow.
Book a personal demo, or set up your own test system in 30 seconds. Both free, both without obligation.
