How To Create An Online Course Website In Wordpress Using LearnDash

If you have an amazing course, you also should have an amazing website for your course(s). In this LearnDash tutorial, I show you how to create an online course website that will be fully automated. Visitors who visit your website can buy a course, pay the money through Paypal, Stripe, or another payment option you provide, and get access to the course immediately.
I will show you how to get a domain name and Webhosting, install Wordpress, install the Astra theme and how to get LearnDash. Then we will create our first course, add some information about our course, add a thumbnail and create the outline of our course through sections (chapters, modules) and lessons. Then we will fill in the content of all the lessons using a page builder or using videos.
Then we will add WooCommerce in order to sell our course using a decent checkout and we will install Cartflows in order to create a landing page with the WooCommerce checkout option.
We will add a payment provider like Paypal or Stripe Creditcard to the course and let new users create their own username and password when they checkout so they will have access to the course, just after they finish paying for the course. All on autopilot!
We will add a second course, bundle multiple courses so people can buy more courses at once with a special discount and we will sell lifetime access and subscriptions on courses.
We will integrate Stripe as a payment provider so the money people pay for your courses will go automatically to your bank account.
After applying everything you see in the tutorial you will have an automated course website and start to earn money while helping other people.
Example website: courses.ferdykorpershoek.com
Webhosting: webhostingfk.com
LearnDash: ferdykorp.com/learndash
Astra: ferdykorp.com/astra
Cartflows: ferdykorp.com/cartflows

Is it possible to have a recurring payment/subscription without a separate login? In other words create user account at checkout for a subscription course?

Great course. When I activate the grid plugin there's no button at the bottom of the course boxes. And clicking on a course title under the featured pic takes me to a page with a huge solid color banner overlaid with the same course grid box at the right with a Start Course button. Below is the % complete bar and course description, About instructor, etc. I'm using Elementor with BuddyBoss. Both the grid boxes and the page shown don't look like yours at all. Any tips to get my grids showing the buttons and going to the same more info page like yours?

I have a question though... Can I be able to set up my course such that a student can sign-up for a specified duration to one specific course with the actual course having an infinity life? Meaning let's say I have 5 different courses in my website and they all have no expiry date, but I want my students to subscribe on any or all of the courses for specific period of time. Like let's say for the English cause he could sign-up for a year, a French course for 6 months etc with each one having its own start and end date.

Hello man, I am kind of desperate so I would appreciate if you reply.. First of all, great work on the video! Now I have a regular LearnDash site with an extra add-on that I coded myself that allows selling individual lessons from courses. The platform is supposed to be multi-vendor (course marketplace like udemy) but I have no idea how to make it so money paid to teacher X's course is sent to teacher X's paypal/stripe account minus a small commission that is retained in the site's main paypal/stripe account. Is this done the same way like regular multivendor sites (I am afraid the vendor role and the teacher role won't play well together and that it will end up messing things up).. How do you suggest I approach this? Thanks a lot!

Thank you, Ferdy, for this amazing video. I just want to know how to add a course as a bump offer. For example, if I'm selling Course A using a cart flow funnel (or other plugins) and I want to add Course B as a bump offer on the checkout page. I want to understand how this process works-how the client adds the bump offer and how Course B becomes active for them.
