Sell a course from your store — grant course access on purchase

Create a 'course'-kind product in your store, point it at one of your courses, set a price, and publish. Anyone who buys it is granted access to that course instantly — it shows up in their Library and My Courses, no manual enrolment needed.

Last updated Jun 1, 2026

There are two ways to sell a course. A Payment Link (from the course's own Payment Links tab) sends a buyer straight to a course checkout. The other way — covered here — is a storefront product: a course wrapped as a product that lives in your store alongside downloads, bundles, memberships and sessions. Selling it this way means buyers get the course access automatically the moment they pay.

Create the product

  • Go to Dashboard → Store and click New product (/dashboard/store/new).
  • Step 1 — 'What are you selling?': pick Course.
  • A 'Which course?' selector appears — choose the course you want this product to unlock. (No courses yet? The picker links you to create one first.)
  • Step 3 — Price: set Free, one-time, or a recurring price. Add an early-bird / compare-at price if you want a strike-through.
  • Polish your sales page (open by default): add a cover, a gallery/slideshow, a description, what's-included, and FAQ — this is what sells it.
  • Click Publish.
The product's slug becomes its public link: /p/<your-tenant>/store/<slug>. Share that link, or let buyers find it in your store.

What the buyer gets

On a successful purchase, the buyer is granted a course entitlement for the linked course. That means:

  • The course appears in their Library under Courses, and in My Courses.
  • The 'Start' / 'Continue' button opens the lesson player — access is immediate, you don't enrol them by hand.
  • A free course product enrols them on the spot; a paid one runs through secure checkout (Razorpay) first, and access is granted only after payment is captured.

Before you publish — two things that must be true

  • The linked COURSE itself must be published. If it's still a draft, buyers own the product but can't open the lessons — publish the course first.
  • The PRODUCT must be published (not draft) to be buyable. A draft product is hidden from the store.
Pick the right course in the 'Which course?' selector — the entitlement is tied to that exact course. If you point the product at the wrong course, buyers get access to the wrong one. You can change the linked course later by editing the product.

Bundles & cross-sells

Once a course is a product, you can drop it into a bundle (e.g. Beginner + Intermediate at a discount) — each course in the bundle grants its own access on purchase. The Monetize & publish wizard can also auto-create a bundle around a course at publish time.

Course product vs. Payment Link — which to use?

  • Store product — best when you want the course discoverable in your storefront, bundled, or sold with a full sales page (cover, gallery, testimonials).
  • Payment Link — best for a quick, direct 'pay to join this course' link you send to a known list of students.
  • Both end the same way: a paid, verified buyer with real course access — there's no double-charging, and access is entitlement-based either way.
