How do courses work?
Updated 2026-10-10
Communities can host courses for members, and online courses can also be sold as digital products.
What to do
- Open the community course area if you are building one for members.
- Add the course content the course tools allow.
- Members open it from the community when their access allows it.
Eligibility
A community course follows community membership. A digital-product course follows purchase and is delivered after payment. They are different setups.
If something goes wrong
- If a member cannot open a lesson, check membership first.
- Empty courses are not visible as finished products.
Use digital products if you want a checkout purchase rather than membership access.
