A member area without WordPress

Your website stays on WordPress. Your member area doesn't have to.

CourseKit is a hosted member area – not a plugin. There is nothing to install, update or secure, and video hosting is included. From €35 net a month. Your WordPress website with its sales pages stays and links to the member area.

What changes for you

  • No plugin upkeep

    We take care of updates, security and backups of the member area. With CourseKit you install no plugin updates.

  • Videos without an extra service

    You upload videos straight into the lesson, on every plan. They play only for people with running access.

  • Built for phones

    The member area is made for participants on a smartphone and carries your logo and colours – independent of your WordPress theme.

  • Application in Frankfurt

    Application and database run in Frankfurt, and the data processing agreement is included. Which providers - US ones too - process what is in the public list of sub-processors.

How the switch works

  1. 1

    Set up your area

    At name.coursekit.de or – from Growth – on a subdomain of your own such as courses.your-site.com.

  2. 2

    Connect a payment provider

    Connect CopeCart, ThriveCart or Stripe and map each product to a course and a duration.

  3. 3

    Bring your content

    Create lessons, videos and materials. For the first 25 customers we move one course together; we clarify beforehand whether yours can be taken over.

  4. 4

    Link your website

    Point the login link on your WordPress site to the new area, import your participants – and deactivate the plugin afterwards.

A good fit if …

  • your website should stay on WordPress, but the course area should not
  • you sell through CopeCart, ThriveCart or Stripe
  • you don't want to book video hosting separately

Not a fit today if …

  • you sell through Digistore24 or a provider other than CopeCart, ThriveCart or Stripe
  • the member area has to remain part of your WordPress site, for example for members-only content in blog posts
  • you need a built-in community

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep my WordPress website?
Yes. Your website and sales pages stay as they are. CourseKit is the member area you link to from there.
Is there a WordPress plugin?
No. CourseKit is a hosted platform. The connection to your website is a link; the connection to sales runs through CopeCart, ThriveCart or Stripe.
Does Digistore24 work?
Not today. CourseKit connects CopeCart, ThriveCart and Stripe. If you sell through Digistore24, CourseKit is not the right fit for you right now.
How do my participants come over?
As a list with their access end dates. Nobody gets an e-mail before you release the import; after that everyone signs in with the link from the e-mail – no password.

Look first, then decide.
