Selling inside the webinar: paid access and checkout

Livestorm covers a broad range of video events, many of which are free to attend and feed a sales pipeline. We have not verified how Livestorm handles charging for access, so check its documentation before planning a paid event.

WebinarKit sells access as part of registration. Set the webinar as paid, collect payment up front, and the buyer moves into confirmation, reminders and the room from one account. That supports paid training for customers, ticketed workshops and premium replays. For B2B teams, a paid certification or advanced class can sit next to free demos without adding a separate cart. See our payment processing guide.

How B2B teams use Livestorm

Livestorm is designed for companies whose webinars support a sales team rather than replace it. Typical sessions are live product demos, customer onboarding, feature launches, partner training and recurring thought leadership. Attendance data flows to the CRM so account executives can follow up with engaged prospects. Livestorm also supports on demand sessions and has features aimed at interactive training; check its site for current options such as breakout rooms.

Where Livestorm fits well

  • SaaS companies running live demos for inbound leads.
  • Customer success teams hosting onboarding and training.
  • Marketing teams that report pipeline through HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • European organizations that prefer a European vendor.

Where WebinarKit fits well

  • Coaches, course creators and consultants who sell directly from the webinar.
  • Info product sellers running evergreen funnels to paid traffic.
  • Agencies that clone funnels across clients, connect HighLevel or resell through the separate white label product.
  • B2B teams that want a self running demo to qualify leads before a sales call.

Sales webinars that run on their own

The core difference is who closes the sale. In a Livestorm style setup, the webinar warms up a lead and a person follows up. In a WebinarKit funnel, the webinar is designed to close on its own: automated sessions run on a schedule or just after registration, clickable offers appear at set moments, AI chat responses answer questions, and email and SMS sequences follow up with people who did not buy. Live events run through WebinarKit Live when you want a launch.

Switching from Livestorm

Download a strong recorded demo and upload it to WebinarKit. Choose automated, just-in-time or instant watch delivery. Build a registration page or embed the form on your site. Add email and SMS reminders and calendar invites. Place an offer or booking link at the right moment. Connect your CRM through Zapier, Pabbly, HighLevel or the API so attendee data reaches sales. Our Livestorm switching guide has more detail.

Where Livestorm fits

Livestorm fits B2B teams that run a mix of live webinars, product demos and customer sessions in the browser and connect them to an existing CRM. It suits companies where the webinar supports a sales team and where interactive training and event analytics matter more than closing a sale in the room.

Where WebinarKit fits

WebinarKit fits sellers whose webinars exist to convert, with AI building tools, offers in the room, paid access and automated formats in one account. It also suits B2B teams that want an evergreen demo to qualify leads around the clock.
