Sell your course on Shopify. Skip the LMS bill.

Most creator courses are lessons, worksheets and questions — not quizzes, certificates and SCORM files. If that's yours, you don't need a second platform with per-student pricing bolted next to your store. You need your store to deliver the course.

The course, as buyers experience it

A student buys once in your normal Shopify checkout. Seconds later they're in a branded hub — your logo and colors — with the whole course laid out in your order:

• Lessons stream with resume. Each video plays in a real player and remembers where every student stopped — module three, minute twelve, still there tomorrow. No 1.2 GB downloads just to watch.
• Worksheets open inline. PDFs render in the hub; audio plays; everything stays downloadable on every plan.
• Notes as text cards. Syllabus, links, prerequisites — delivered as clean text deliverables, editable any time.
• No accounts required. The thank-you page, order status page, customer account and a tokenized email link all open the hub.

Launch with six lessons. Ship the seventh to everyone.

Courses grow after launch — that's the model. On AfterKit, adding lesson seven is editing the product: every past order updates automatically, and you decide whether students get a "your order was updated" email. Early-bird students get the finished course without re-purchasing, new links or a mail-merge afternoon. (Refunded students stay revoked.)

The classroom is built in

On Pro, your hub grows a Community tab that does what a course forum should:

• Updates every student sees — new lesson announcements (attach the trailer; video updates play inline), errata, live-session recaps.
• Q&A in threads with "needs reply" flags so no student question slips; answer once, publicly, and the next hundred students find it.
• Moderation you control — hold-for-approval mode, reports, bans. Email blasts go only to opted-in students.

And the Shop tab shows your other courses and packs with an automatic member discount — alumni are your best next cohort.

The economics, plainly

Course platforms typically charge monthly tiers plus, at the entry level, transaction fees — and the bill rises with your success. AfterKit charges a flat plan for delivery: $14/month covers streaming, branding and the hub shop with 25 GB of storage; $39/month adds the community and 250 GB. Unlimited orders and no revenue share on every plan, including Free. Your checkout, your customer data, your margins — it's your Shopify store all the way down.

Launch weekend, not launch quarter

1. Create the course as a Shopify product (or one product per module — bundles work too).
2. Upload lessons (up to 5 GB each), worksheets and notes; attach them in the order students should see, with the checkout widget promising instant access on the product page.
3. Test-buy it yourself; watch the hub arrive in seconds, streaming and all. Refund the test; watch access revoke.
4. On Pro, turn on Community, pin a welcome update, and open the doors.

Frequently asked

Is AfterKit an LMS?

No — and that's the point. No quizzes, certificates or completion tracking; instead, streamed lessons with resume, files, notes and a community, delivered by your own store at a flat price.

Can I drip lessons on a schedule?

Not on a timer today. The working pattern is launching with what's ready and adding lessons as you finish them — every past student receives each addition automatically.

How large can lessons be?

Up to 5 GB per file. Storage is 1 GB on Free, 25 GB on Growth, 250 GB on Pro — with no bandwidth caps or per-play fees.

Can I protect my videos?

Streams and downloads run through signed, tokenized links tied to the order, and refunds revoke access automatically. Determined pirates exist on every platform; casual sharing is well contained.
