You can sell access to a course with WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads (EDD). When someone buys the linked product, they are enrolled in the course right away.
Before you start #
- Install and activate WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads.
- Create a product for the course in that store, set its price and publish it.
- Set the course Enrollment Type to Private (click Edit Course).
Important: Only a private course can be sold. An open course lets anyone in for free, and a locked course is never shown in the course list for someone to buy.
Link the course to the product #
- Open the course and click Settings.
- Under Does this course cost money, choose Paid — bought once, then joined.
- If both stores are active, choose which one in Sell it through.
- In Store product, search by product name, SKU or ID and pick your product.
- Click Save Settings.
What buyers see #
The course shows a Buy button with the price, for example “Buy — $49”. If the product is on sale, the old price is shown too. After checkout, the buyer is enrolled and can start learning.
If the course uses Access ends after some days (see Course settings) and a student’s access runs out, they see Renew access and can buy again.
Tip: Students who already sent a join request see “Buying the course gets you in right away” — buying skips the waiting.
