Six products, one app

Stop stitching four tools together.

Most creators bolt a course tool to an exam tool to a certificate maker to a checkout. Chapters is all of it — and it lives where your customers already are.

Native to your storefront

It looks like part of your store — because it is.

Drop four theme blocks into any Shopify theme and add checkout extensions in a couple of clicks. No code, no subdomain, no separate site. Your course pages live on your own domain — and the blocks render nothing on non-course products, so they're safe to add theme-wide.

  • Course catalog, access card, course details & "My courses" blocks for any page.
  • Checkout & order-page extensions route buyers straight into their courses — no shipping language.
  • A focused player and exam hall for distraction-free learning.
  • A native "My Learning" dashboard inside the Shopify customer account — progress, to-dos, and continue-learning in one place.

Ways to earn

Sell more than courses.

Exams, retakes, certificates, bundles — each one becomes a native Shopify product at your own checkout, and every order fulfills itself.

Standalone exams

Put a price on an exam and it becomes its own Shopify product. Each purchase grants a bundle of attempts — and students can buy another when they run out.

Paid certificates

Charge for the credential itself. Chapters auto-creates a hidden Shopify product and puts a buy button on the completion page.

Course bundles

Link one Shopify product to several courses and sell a full curriculum in a single checkout.

Seat caps that sell out

Cap enrollment per course. Your storefront shows a live “spots left” count, then Sold out — and expired seats free up on their own.

Access windows

Lifetime access by default, or any number of days you choose. When the clock runs out, a re-purchase restarts it.

Launch offers & lead magnets

Compare-at pricing with an automatic Save % badge, a featured badge for your flagship course, and $0 courses that feed the paid catalog.

Content protection

Your videos stay yours.

Hosting and streaming are included on Bunny Stream's global CDN — no Vimeo, no Wistia, no third-party account. And every stream is locked to the student who paid for it.

  • Signed, expiring playback URLs — there's no public link to copy and share.
  • Enrollment checked server-side before every single play.
  • A per-student moving watermark that names the viewer on screen.
  • Copy, print & right-click blocking — toggle protection per course.

30 GB of storage and 300 GB of monthly streaming free on every store.

The student experience

Your school, on their home screen.

Students learn at yourstore.com/apps/courses, signed in with the same Shopify account they bought with. One tap installs the portal as a web app — with your store's logo as the icon.

  • Installable web app (PWA) — one-tap install on Android, guided install on iPhone.
  • Push notifications — including live-class reminders 30 and 5 minutes before start.
  • Built to resume — playback picks up where they stopped, alongside bookmarks, private notes, and moderated lesson comments.
  • One account, everything — grades, course reviews, and a “My Learning” section inside the Shopify customer account.

Do I need a special Shopify plan?+

No. Chapters works on every Shopify plan, from Basic on up. Courses are sold through your normal Shopify checkout, in any currency your store sells in.

Can customers buy without a store account?+

How are my videos protected?+

Lessons stream from Bunny Stream's global CDN behind signed, expiring playback links — there are no public URLs to copy — and enrollment is checked server-side before every play. Per course, you can also switch on a per-student moving watermark plus copy, print, and right-click blocking.

Can I sell exams and certificates too?+

Yes. Exams can be a final step inside a course or sold standalone as their own product, with timed sittings and paid retakes. Certificates can be free or paid, and are issued automatically on completion. Exams · Certificates.

What happens when I refund an order?+

Access is revoked automatically the moment the refund goes through. The student's progress is kept, so if they ever buy again they pick up right where they left off.

Do live classes use my own Zoom account?+

Yes. Connect your existing Zoom account (free or paid), schedule sessions inside Chapters, and students join from their lesson page. See the Zoom setup guide.

Can students watch on their phones?+

Yes. The student portal works on phones, tablets, and laptops, and installs to the home screen as a web app (PWA) with your store's logo as the icon — one-tap install on Android, guided on iPhone. Push and email reminders bring students back even when the tab is closed.

Can I give a course away free?+

Yes — $0 courses make great lead magnets, and enrollment still runs through your checkout so every student becomes a customer. Free courses show a small “Powered by Chapters LMS” credit under the player; any paid course removes it.

What happens to my data if I uninstall?+

Chapters is GDPR-complete — we honor Shopify's data request and erasure webhooks, and uninstalling wipes the video content we host for you. The Shopify products, orders, and customers in your store stay in your store.
