Among these, LearnDash stands out for its excellent features, affordability, and high level of customization.

1- Setup LearnDash Pages

Next, assuming that you have LearnDash installed on your WordPress website, you need to configure LearnDash pages. You will only have the My Account page by default. You can, however, add more pages to your LearnDash website.

You can also develop Cart and Checkout pages—which are crucial for selling your courses—if you integrate LearnDash with WooCommerce. Go to your WordPress dashboard, select Pages, and then Add New Page to start creating new pages.

2- Get the best theme for your LearnDash

Themes guarantee that your LearnDash website has an excellent user experience, looks fantastic, and functions effectively. Numerous themes are available that are compatible with LearnDash, including as Astra, Divi, Edumodo, and Invent.

Take a look at our LearnDash development services if you require a custom theme that precisely satisfies your needs. Selecting the appropriate subject is crucial. The Astra theme is a fantastic option for novices. It is quick, adaptable, and comes with a free version that includes pre-made themes and add-ons like Course Grid and WooCommerce. One significant benefit is that it is customisable. Visit our article on the Top 10 LearnDash Themes for additional details.

3- Course Creation

Creating courses with LearnDash is easy using its drag-and-drop course builder.

To start, go to your WordPress dashboard, then LearnDash LMS, and click on Courses. Next, select Add New.

You'll see a course title and a text box where you can fill in all the course details. Save it as a draft to preview how it looks on your site. If everything looks good, hit publish.

You can set pricing for your course—free, one-time payment, or subscriptions.

Similarly, you can create lessons, topics, and quizzes within your course. Preview them before publishing them live.

4- Payment Options

To configure a gateway for payments for your LearnDash courses: Navigate to the LearnDash LMS dashboard on WordPress, then select Settings.

After selecting the Payments tab, choose Stripe Connect.

Enter your login credentials and any other necessary data to configure Stripe. You have the option to select the test mode, tax rates, and currency.

Establish the course price as you previously did.

On the other hand, because WooCommerce provides additional options for payment gateways, many LearnDash professionals utilise it for payments.

If you decide to use WooCommerce, connect it to your website by following instructions such as "Sell courses on LearnDash using WooCommerce".

By selecting the Affiliate tab, you may set up Affiliate programmes and let the Coupons tab accept coupons for course purchases.

Once everything is set, click SAVE to save your payment settings. That’s it!
