Add-On Overview & Features

An online course creator came to us frustrated with a simple but costly problem: their students didn’t always want to buy an entire course. Some only needed one specific lesson. Some wanted to test a single topic before committing. But LearnDash, out of the box, only allows selling full courses — meaning the platform was losing revenue every time a potential student walked away because the full price felt too high.

THE CHALLENGE

 

LearnDash only supports selling entire courses — no way to sell individual lessons or topics

Students with specific learning needs were abandoning checkout because full-course pricing felt too high

The platform had no flexibility to offer bite-sized, pay-per-content options

No custom messaging to guide users who hadn’t purchased a locked lesson yet

CLIENT QUOTE

"Our students always complained the full course price was too much for what they needed. After this add-on, they could just buy the one lesson they wanted — and half of them came back to buy the rest." — (eLearning, Canada)

The Solution & Results

AR Webcrafts built a powerful monetization add-on that plugs directly into LearnDash and gives course owners full control over what they sell and at what price. Admins can now lock individual lessons or topics behind a paywall, set a custom price per lesson, and accept payments via WooCommerce (supporting all WooCommerce-compatible payment gateways) or PayPal. Each locked lesson automatically generates a WooCommerce product in the background — no manual linking required. Students see a clear, customizable message on locked content with a Buy Now button, removing all friction from the purchase flow.

The platform went from an all-or-nothing pricing model to a fully flexible micro-monetization system. Students who previously bounced at checkout could now purchase just the content they needed. The course owner reported higher conversion rates on individual lessons and increased overall revenue — because lower-commitment purchases brought in buyers who later upgraded to full courses.

Sell Quizzes And Course Certificates

Add a purchase button that allows users to directly purchase any quiz on your course and certificates after course completion. You can directly select which course’s quizzes and certificates will be offered for sale. Once payment is complete, users will be able to take the quiz they purchased or download their certificate.

Offer Free Quiz Attempts Before Purchasing Quiz Access

Give your students the chance to attempt a quiz before purchasing it by offering a number of free quiz attempts.

Accept Payments Through PayPal

Payments can be processed quickly and securely using the LearnDash PayPal payment gateway.

Process Payments Using WooCommerce Payment Gateways

You can process payments through any of WooCommerce’s payment gateways from a WooCommerce checkout page and take advantage of the features this ecommerce plugin has to offer.

Easily Keep Track Of Your Sales

From the setting’s payment tab, you can easily go through your complete quiz and certificate sale transactions history. Here you’ll find purchase data, identify customers, verify payments, and view total payment amount and payment status.
