Activating the Academy LMS Addon

To get started, ensure you have installed and activated the ProfilePress plugin on your WordPress site.

Academy LMS Addon Settings

After activating the addon, you can access its settings by navigating to ProfilePress > Settings> Academy LMS.

To enroll users in specific courses in Academy LMS after registration through any ProfilePress custom registration form, use the Courses settings.

Selling Academy LMS Courses with ProfilePress

Our Academy LMS addon lets you sell your courses with ProfilePress. It works by associating one or multiple courses with a membership plan in ProfilePress.

You can package two or more related courses into a bundle, price it lower than the cost of the individual courses, and watch your sales grow.

If the membership plan is a subscription that charges a recurring fee, access is revoked if the subscription is refunded, expired, or canceled.

Follow the instructions below to start selling Academy LMS courses with ProfilePress.

Go to ProfilePress >> Membership Plans to create a new membership plan or open up the edit screen of an existing plan that you want to use to sell your course.

Give the plan a name, description, and price.

ProfilePress has a built-in field called “Purchase Note”, which is displayed to the customer after a successful purchase on the order confirmation page and in the customer’s receipt email. Consider using this field to provide instructions or the next steps for taking your course, along with a link to the course page.

This field accepts HTML. Here’s an example of creating a link to your course. Replace the URL with the URL to your specific course.

<a href="https://yoursite.com/course/build-websites-wordpress/">Start this Course</a>

Use the Subscription Settings section to set the plan or course fee as a recurring payment that can be charged daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, every six months, or yearly.

Finally, on the Downloads & Integrations section, select the Academy LMS courses to grant users access after purchasing the membership plan.

Don’t forget to save your changes.

Finally, create a new course in Academy LMS or edit an existing one. Ensure the Course Type is set to “Paid”.

When users visit any course page protected by a ProfilePress membership plan, they will see a “Subscribe Now” button that takes them to the ProfilePress checkout page to complete their purchase.

If the membership plan is a subscription that charges a recurring fee, access is immediately revoked if the subscription is refunded or expires.

Enrollment Based on WordPress Registration Form

The Academy LMS addon also integrates with our user registration form feature, allowing users to enroll in specific courses based on the registration form through which they signed up.

To do this, go to Forms & Profiles in ProfilePress and create registration forms for each course. For example, you might create one form for a beginner-level course and another for an advanced course.

When setting up each registration form, go to the Form Settings and click on Academy LMS. Here, you can select which specific courses should be linked to that form. This way, users who register through a particular registration form will be automatically enrolled in the associated course.

In conclusion, allowing users to access Academy LMS courses after payment and registration significantly enhances their learning experience. By utilizing the Academy LMS addon, you can charge for course access while ensuring automatic enrollment for users, making the entire process seamless and efficient.
