I'm not at all very too knowledgable about plumbing but I would think there's a PVC female threaded receiver that you could screw onto the existing out from the pump. That would then be glued to your PVC.
Another option would be to use the hose connection and run a hose from the pump to PVC that has a barb to receive.

I used 1-1/4" black PVC flex hose and it fit rather nicely on the second-largest barb (cut off the smaller).
Keep in mind that these pumps are inherently non-pressure rated, meaning that they can take only minimal amounts of head pressure.
Try to keep your water lines as large as possible both coming in and going out and with the least amount of plumbing possible.
The threads are indeed 1-1/2". I recommend using ABS threaded sockets to connect so as to match the ABS body of the pump.
I have every plumbing part known to mankind, so if anyone is in the area, give a ring or stop by.
I charge whatever price the parts cost me. If its $10 or less worth of stuff I don't even bother.

These pumps are complete. All came with TWO cone-shaped barbed-fittings for attacheing flexible PVC Tubing (be sure to cut off the smaller barbs)
The promotional photo shown above is evidently a "submerged pump configuration" and what we were given in the group buy is an "external pump configuration".
It was likely a 50/50 call by the Chinese guy who packed these up for shipping at the factory, or the manufacturer simply changed their minds about what accessories to include...In either case, NOBODY got screwed, cheated, shorted, or whatever.
This is the life of internet purchasing. If you want full control over every detail of what you are purchasing, then support your local fish store by paying full price for your equipment. Then you will know exactly what you are going home with. To be brutally honest, group buys like this screw over many people in our industry, especially retail store owners who lose out on potential sales. As such, I don't think we are going to receive much sympathy from them when something unexpected happens. (look what happened to me!)
In a nutshell: We didn't pay for the right to customer service.
