Move your courses, keep ThriveCart
ThriveCart stays your checkout. Your courses move to CourseKit.
CourseKit is a member area in your brand that connects to your ThriveCart account – from €35 net a month, video hosting on every plan, no revenue share. Checkout, invoices and payment methods stay with ThriveCart; a purchase creates the member and unlocks the course, bump and upsell included.
What ThriveCart has announced about Learn
ThriveCart writes on its blog:
- Learn and Learn+ take new courses through 2026.
- In 2027, courses there can only be edited.
- From 2028, courses there are read-only.
Source: ThriveCart blog, last updated 15/10/2026, read on 04/11/2026
We only repeat the announcement. What applies to your ThriveCart account is shown in your account and in ThriveCart's help.
What changes for you
Video, audio and files are hosted at CourseKit
You upload videos, audio lessons and materials straight into the lesson, and video hosting is included on every plan. Uploaded videos play only through time-limited, signed links and only for people with running access.
Every part of the order opens its own course
You map the main product, the bump and the upsell to a course each. Whoever buys several parts in one cart gets each of those courses.
Lifetime or a fixed duration
You set at the course or per product how long access runs: lifetime, twelve weeks, a year or until a fixed day. An end date arrives by itself; participants get a reminder 14 and 3 days before.
Subscriptions renew, a refund affects only that purchase
With a subscription, every further payment extends access. If a charge fails, access runs for 7 more days. A refund takes back only the access that purchase opened – never access you granted by hand.
Quizzes, certificates and progress
A lesson can be a quiz, and passing completes it. Whoever finishes the course receives a certificate as a PDF, and you see progress down to the single lesson.
Your brand, your domain
Logo, colours and style for light and dark; from Growth the area runs under your own domain. The application and database run in Frankfurt, and video storage is in Germany.
How the switch works
- 1
Create the area
Build the course, lessons and materials – or, as one of the first 25 customers, move together with us.
- 2
Secret word and webhook
In ThriveCart under “Settings” → “API & Webhooks”, copy the secret word, enter it in CourseKit and add a webhook with the address from CourseKit. The guide in CourseKit shows every step.
- 3
Enter the product numbers
Enter the number of the ThriveCart product at the course – with bump- in front for a bump and upsell- for an upsell, for example bump-12. You set the duration there too.
- 4
Bring your students over
Export your student list from ThriveCart as a CSV and bring it in through the member import, with or without an end of access. Nobody gets an email until you release the import.
- 5
A test purchase
Switch on test mode in ThriveCart and buy the product once. In CourseKit the purchase shows up under “Sales”, marked as a test. Then switch test mode off again.
A good fit if …
- you sell through ThriveCart and want to stay there
- the video, audio and files of your courses should live in one place
- a bump or an upsell should open its own course
- your courses are sold for lifetime or for a set duration
- your member area should carry your brand
Not a fit today if …
- your lessons should be carried over automatically from your current area – you rebuild them in CourseKit, and we help with the first course
- you need a community or a native app for participants
- you are looking for a funnel or landing page builder – CourseKit is only the member area
Frequently asked questions
- Do my products stay in ThriveCart?
- Yes. Products, prices, cart and checkout stay with ThriveCart. In CourseKit you map each product, bump and upsell to a course and a duration.
- Who invoices my buyers?
- You do, in your own name and through your ThriveCart account. CourseKit has no checkout of its own and does not invoice your buyers. For what applies to you on invoices and VAT, ask your tax adviser.
- I sell my courses for lifetime. Does that work?
- Yes. If you leave the duration empty at the course and the product, access is unlimited, so lifetime. You can also set a fixed duration such as a year. With a subscription, every further payment extends access.
- Can I export my courses from Learn?
- You rebuild lessons, videos and materials in CourseKit. We help with the first course: for the first 25 customers we move one course with up to 30 lessons together. You export the list of your students from ThriveCart as a CSV file and bring it in through the member import; without an end of access, access is lifetime.
- Does CourseKit take a fee on my sales?
- No. You pay the monthly price. The fees of ThriveCart and your payment provider stay as they are.
- Is there an English interface?
- Yes. Admin, member area, emails and handbook are available in German and English. You set the default language, and each person can switch for themselves.
Look first, then decide.
