What is the best way for me to bundle courses using LearnDash?

Creating and offering course bundles in LearnDash can be effectively achieved using the built-in User Groups feature. This approach is simple, avoids third-party plugins, and uses LearnDash’s native capabilities. Heres a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Set Up User Groups in LearnDash #

1. Create a New User Group:
   • Navigate to LearnDash LMS > Groups in your WordPress dashboard.
   • Click Add New to create a new group.
   • Name your group (e.g., “Course Bundle A”) and save the group.
2. Add Courses to the Group:
   • In the group editor, locate the Group courses tab.
   • Add the courses you want to bundle by selecting them from the list.
3. Assign Group Leaders (Optional):
   • If you want someone to manage the group, assign a Group Leader under the Group Leaders tab.

Step 2: Configure Access and Enrollment #

1. Set Enrollment Access:
   • Under the Group Access Settings tab, set the access mode to Buy Now or Recurring depending on your preferred payment model:
     • Buy Now: Allows users to make a one-time purchase to access the bundle.
     • Recurring: Sets up a subscription model where users pay periodically (e.g., monthly) for continued access.
   • Enter the price for the bundle and configure any additional settings like access duration or subscription intervals.
2. Payment Integration:
   • Ensure your payment gateway is set up under LearnDash LMS > Settings > PayPal/Stripe to handle transactions seamlessly.

Step 3: Offer the Bundle #

1. Publish the Group:
   • Once everything is configured, publish the group to make it available for purchase.
2. Promote the Bundle:
   • Share the bundle on your website, social media, or through email marketing to attract learners.
