Native to Shopify

Sell a course like you
sell anything else.

Courses and exams are real Shopify products. Buyers check out the way they already do, get access the instant the order is paid, and learn inside your own theme — no subdomain, no second login.

Free until you sell. 5% after. Never more than $29 a month.

Native checkout

Your checkout, doing what it already does well.

When you publish a course or exam, Chapters creates a real Shopify product behind it. That means everything you already rely on at checkout keeps working — no separate cart, no payment integration to wire up.

  • Your discounts and gift cards apply to courses just like physical products.
  • Multiple currencies and payment providers work out of the box — buyers pay the way they expect.
  • Shopify handles checkout and PCI — card data never touches a third-party course platform.
  • Auto-created or bring-your-own — publishing builds the product for you (priced, digital, nothing to ship), or link a product you already sell.

Instant auto-enrollment

Paid means in.

The moment an order is paid, the buyer is enrolled and can start learning. No manual fulfillment, no "your access is on the way."

Access on payment

Enrollment fires the instant the order is paid — not when someone gets around to it. The buyer can open lesson one before the confirmation page has closed.

A welcome email, automatically

Every new student gets a welcome email the moment they're enrolled, pointing them straight at their course — no template to build first.

Guest checkout just works

No account at checkout? Buyers get emailed instructions right away, and the purchase links to their account automatically the first time they sign in.

Orders auto-fulfill

Course orders mark themselves Complete instead of sitting in an unfulfilled, "awaiting shipping" state — your order list stays clean and accurate.

Refunds soft-revoke

Refund an order and access is removed automatically — but the student's progress is preserved, so a re-purchase picks up right where they left off.

Seat caps & access windows

Cap seats and the storefront shows a live "spots left" count, then Sold out — expired seats free up again. Access is lifetime by default, or a set number of days; a re-purchase restarts the clock.

Four theme blocks

Drop them anywhere. No code.

Add the blocks to your theme in the editor and place them where you want. They render nothing on non-course products, so they're safe to add theme-wide.

Course catalog

A grid of your courses on any page — a homepage section, a dedicated catalog page, wherever you want browsing to start.

Course details

Curriculum and outcomes laid out right on the product page — and it tidies the buy box too, hiding the quantity stepper and "Buy it now" on course products so the page sells a course, not a physical product.

Course access card

On the product page, "Buy" turns into "Continue" the moment a student is enrolled — one button that knows where they stand.

MY COURSES

My Courses button

A header button that takes students straight to everything they're enrolled in — the front door to their learning.

Because the blocks stay invisible on products that aren't courses, you can add them once and leave them in place — they only show up where there's a course to display.

Google-ready, automatically. Every course page carries schema.org Course structured data — title, description, provider, and (once you have reviews) star ratings — so your courses are eligible for rich results in search. Nothing to install or configure.

No shipping — it's a course

Open course

Checkout & order extensions

A thank-you that sends them to class.

Selling something digital shouldn't end on a page that talks about shipping. Chapters adds course-aware extensions to the post-purchase moments where buyers are most ready to start.

  • A course-specific thank-you experience confirms enrollment and points buyers straight at their first lesson.
  • An order-page CTA takes buyers right to their course instead of leaving them on shipping language.

One-time setup. The thank-you experience is switched on once in Shopify's checkout editor — a couple of clicks. The order-page card needs no setup at all: it appears on course orders automatically.

My Learning

Their Shopify account becomes a student dashboard.

Chapters adds a native My Learning page inside the Shopify customer account — the same place as their orders and profile. No separate login, no external site: their store account is their school account.

  • Continue where they left off — a hero card with the current course, live progress, and a one-tap resume.
  • To-dos and live classes — pending quizzes and assignments with scores, plus upcoming sessions, right on the dashboard.
  • Make the menu read like a school — put My Learning first and rename "Orders" to "Purchases" in Shopify's menu editor. The setup guide shows both.

To-do

More ways to sell

One checkout, many ways to charge.

Courses are the start. Bundles, exams, and certificates all sell through the same Shopify checkout — each one a real product on your store.

Bundles

One Shopify product can unlock multiple courses at once — sell a full curriculum at a single price, and every course in it opens on payment.

Sellable 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. See examinations.

Paid certificates

Charge for the certificate itself. Chapters creates a hidden Shopify product behind it and shows a buy button on the completion page. See certificates.

Free courses as lead magnets

Price a course at $0 to grow your audience. Free courses show a small "Powered by Chapters LMS" line under the player — any paid course removes it.

Sale pricing & badges

Set a compare-at price and the storefront shows an automatic Save % badge. A featured-course badge puts your flagship front and center in the catalog.

Free previews that convert

Mark lessons as free previews and add a course preview video with a custom poster — buyers can try before they buy, right on the product page.

Themed vs focus

Native when it should be, focused when it counts.

Browsing and managing courses should feel like part of your store. Watching a lesson or sitting an exam should feel like nothing else exists.

Themed mode

Course & dashboard pages, inside your theme

Catalog, details, and the student dashboard can render with your header, footer, and domain — so they feel native to your store. In-theme rendering is opt-in.

focus mode
Focus mode

The player and exam hall, distraction-free

When a student opens a lesson or starts an exam, the interface switches to a clean, focused view — no store chrome competing for attention while they learn.

See the focused experience in detail on Courses & video and Examinations.

Make it yours

Your colors, your logo, your name on everything.

Set your brand once and it flows through the whole student experience — the portal they learn in and the emails they receive. A live preview shows your changes as you make them.

  • Primary and accent colors — pick any color with the wheel or paste your exact hex.
  • Your logo and portal name sit at the top of the student experience.
  • Your branding flows into the lifecycle emails students receive, not just the portal.
  • Text contrast adjusts automatically so your colors stay readable, whatever you choose.

Branding is a shop-level toggle. Pair it with branded lifecycle emails for a consistent voice end to end.

Add to Home Screen

An app on the home screen

A real app — without the App Store.

Students can install the portal as a Progressive Web App, right from their browser. It lands on their home screen, opens in its own window, and feels like an app — on both Android and iOS.

  • One-tap install on Android, and a guided install for iPhone — straight from the browser, no store listing needed.
  • Your store's logo is the icon on their home screen — it reads as your school's app because it carries your branding.
  • Push notifications included — with live-class reminders 30 and 5 minutes before start.
