Sell Online Courses Directly From Your Shopify Store

Most creators who sell online courses through Shopify eventually outgrow the workaround of linking customers out to a separate learning platform. We build the full course delivery layer into Shopify, so creators can sell online courses as native products and deliver the learning experience inside the store they already run.

App Overview & Features

Everything You Need to Sell Online Courses Through Shopify

Course Hosting and Lesson Delivery

Upload video lessons, written content, PDFs, and worksheets directly into the course builder. Students access the course through a portal on your Shopify store, with progress saved across devices, so creators can sell online courses without renting a separate platform to host them.

Drip Schedules and Cohort Releases

Release lessons on a fixed schedule, on a release date, or as a cohort. Drip content keeps students engaged across the full course duration and protects completion rates that drop sharply when creators sell online courses as one large download.

Student Progress Tracking

Every student’s progress through every course is visible in the merchant dashboard. Completion rates, drop-off points, and time-per-lesson are tracked, so the next iteration of the course gets built from real student behaviour rather than guesswork.

Quizzes, Assignments, and Certificates

Built-in quiz and assignment tools, with auto-graded multiple choice and merchant-reviewed written responses. Students who complete the course receive a customisable certificate of completion at the end, adding perceived value to every course sold.

Community Discussion Per Lesson

Each lesson includes an optional comment thread, so students can ask questions, share work, and learn from each other. Threads stay attached to the lesson they belong to, building a searchable knowledge base over time that improves the experience for future students.

Course Bundling and Cross-Sell

Bundle multiple courses into learning paths, sell course-and-product combinations (course plus workbook, course plus coaching call), and trigger upsells when a student finishes a module. Creators who sell online courses alongside physical products on Shopify get a single checkout for the full bundle.

Why creators sell online courses through their Shopify store

Creators come to this solution after the third-party platform they used to sell online courses at fifty students starts costing more than the courses earn at five hundred, or the separate platform never quite integrated with the brand the creator built on Shopify. Keeping the course inside the store removes a recurring platform fee and keeps the customer experience consistent end to end.

From an impact standpoint, we went from 0 to 1 to some degree. We had nothing when we first started and now we have a full product that we are proud to put in front of users and investors. We got new users and saw a 25% improvement over the days following the launch. Plus, the team also came 20% under budget which is huge!
