Building and Customizing Your Course

Connecting to a Payment Processor

Begin by integrating your payment processor, such as Stripe, to collect payments directly from your customers. This integration will allow you to monetize the courses you create, setting up a seamless gateway to memberships.

Creating a New Course

You can choose from templates like "Sprint," "Marathon," or "Membership" to kickstart your course creation. Alternatively, you can build a course from scratch. The process for each option is similar, and for this guide, we’ll use the "Sprint Course" template as a reference.

Generate Course Product:

• Start by giving your course a name and then click "Create Product" to save it.
• Once created, your course will be listed as shown below. Here, you can edit, preview, customize, or clone the course, and set a price for it.

Structuring Your Course

Outline and Categories:

• To add a category, click the (+) icon next to Product Structure. Enter a title for the category and save it.
  
  

Adding Lessons:

• You can add lessons to your course by selecting "Add Lesson" and giving it a title.
• Preview your lesson by clicking the "Preview" button.
• Upload videos by selecting "Select Video" (supported formats include .mp4, .webm, and .mov).
• Customize the lesson’s content, visibility, and add a thumbnail (recommended size: 1280x720).
• Save your progress to avoid losing any changes.
  
  

Adding Subcategories:

• Create subcategories within your course for more detailed structure.
• Provide a title, description, and assign it to a parent category.
• Decide on the content type (lesson or assessment) and set visibility options.
  
  

Adding Assessments:

• Include quizzes or assignments as assessments within your course.
• For quizzes, define questions, answer options, and set passing criteria.
• For assignments, provide instructions, upload templates, and customize submission confirmation messages.
  
  

Managing Your Course:

• Adjust course details such as the title, description, and thumbnail.
• Set visibility modes (Draft, Published, Locked, or Drip) for different course components.
• Preview, clone, or delete courses as needed.
  
  

Customization:

• Add instructor information, including a headshot, name, and biography.
• Customize your course with logos, favicons, and theme layouts to enhance branding.
  
  

Advanced Customization:

• Integrate custom JS, CSS, or tracking codes to tailor your course experience further.
  
  

Managing Offers:
