You have likely heard of WooCommerce, and with good reason. It is one of the most popular shopping carts available today.

Simply install on your WordPress site, configure a payment gateway, and you are ready to begin selling products – both physical and digital.

It’s also a great way to sell your LearnDash courses!

First, you get the benefit of a top-class shopping cart so that your learners have an enjoyable check-out experience.

Not only this, but you can take advantage of one of their many add-ons. Connect your shopping cart to popular email platforms like MailChimp or ActiveCampaign, use subscriptions, and use virtually any payment gateway (not just PayPal or Stripe).

Using LearnDash with WooCommerce is easy and for many people is the perfect way to sell their LearnDash courses. With our integration you can do things like:

  • Enable coupons
  • Offer course bundles
  • Sell course access on a subscription plan
  • Automatically enroll users into courses after purchase
  • Automatically remove course access on a refund or cancelled subscription

Another neat trick when using LearnDash with WooCommerce is setting up a post-purchase redirect.

This means that as soon as someone purchases the courses and payment is successfully made you can automatically route them to the page of your choice. You can send them to a custom “thank you” page, or perhaps to the course they just purchased so they can get right into the material!

This video explains how you can set this up!

As you can see, with WooCommerce you have a lot of possibilities for how you want to offer your courses. You can leverage both the LearnDash and WooCommerce add-on ecosystem to create professional and pleasant purchase experiences for your customers.

So what are you waiting for? Download the integration today and get started!
