Pay for edX with your own card
Course and certificate fees are charged in USD by international payment processors. A PayFar Visa issued in your own name is accepted at edX checkout and renews month after month.
What you spend on edX, and what that is in toman
edX charges per enrolment rather than a fixed monthly price, so what you plan is the card balance. These are the top-ups people start with, converted at the PayFar rate of the day.
Rate of the day: 1 USD = 195,057 toman. Top up any amount you like — PayFar charges no monthly fee on the card, and edX charges its own price.
We never ask for your edX login
Every other route asks you to hand over your edX username and password, or to buy a login that belongs to someone else. PayFar issues a Visa card to you instead — you pay edX yourself, in your own name, from your own account.

Nobody logs into your edX account but you. There is no shared password, no session on someone else's laptop, and nothing to revoke later.

edX charges its own price and PayFar adds no payment fee and no monthly card fee. The conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.
What makes a edX payment go through
Course and certificate fees are charged in USD by international payment processors. A PayFar Visa is issued in a country edX accepts, so the check passes.
edX reads the first six digits of the card to see who issued it. PayFar cards carry an accepted range, so nothing depends on hiding your location.
Whatever worked once has to work again. The card stays yours, so edX keeps renewing as long as there is balance on it.

edX and PayFar — the usual questions
Does the card work for edX every month?
Yes. It is a personal Visa, not a one-time voucher, so edX can re-charge it as long as there is balance.
How do I top up before paying edX?
In rial through the interbank network, or from any of 180+ tokens on 14 chains. Balance is spendable in seconds.
Is the card in my name?
Yes — issued to you, with your name on the card and on the statement edX sees.
