Launch your first paid course this week. Keep 100% of what you charge.
Learnomy runs on your WordPress site with built-in Stripe and PayPal checkout. No platform cut. No WooCommerce. No student limits. Free covers a solo creator indefinitely.
The real cost of hosted platforms
Running a course business on a third-party platform costs you more than money
Every sale a hosted platform processes takes a percentage. Your student list lives on their servers. You customize within their constraints. WordPress already powers your site. Your courses should live there too.
Platform fees chip away at every sale
Hosted course platforms take a percentage of each transaction. On a $200 course with 100 students, that is thousands of dollars staying with someone else.
Your student list lives on their servers
Emails, progress, purchase history — all held by the platform. If they change terms or shut a feature down, you find out after it affects your business.
Customization ends at their template
You build your brand and your reputation, but the look, the URL, the checkout experience — all constrained to what they allow.
Another plugin for payments, another for memberships
Typical WordPress setups require an LMS plugin plus a separate payment plugin plus a membership plugin. Three update streams, three support queues, three points of failure.
How it works
From idea to paid course in five minutes
No plugin configuration maze. The course builder, checkout, and student dashboard work out of the box.
01
Create your course
Drag-and-drop sections and lessons into place. Eight content types: video, audio, PDF, embeds, downloads, live sessions, rich text, and media-shielded content.
02
Set your price
One-time price or recurring membership. Stripe and PayPal direct checkout are built in — no WooCommerce required, no third-party payment plugin.
03
Get paid directly
Payments go from your student straight to your Stripe or PayPal account. Learnomy takes $0. Your hosting cost does not change.
What you keep on a $197 course, 50 students
Typical hosted platform
Learnomy on your WordPress site
Gateway processing fees (Stripe/PayPal) apply. Learnomy takes nothing.
Built for solo creators
Everything a solo creator needs. Nothing that requires a dev team.
Free covers a solo creator running one academy indefinitely. When you are ready to grow, Pro adds the reporting and automation tools that save you hours a week.
Student emails and data
Every enrollment, every email address, every purchase — in your own WordPress database on your own server.
Stripe and PayPal built in
Direct checkout with no WooCommerce and no separate payment plugin. Configure your keys once.
Membership plans
Monthly and annual billing on the same plan. Students subscribe, cancel, and resubscribe without you involved.
Unlimited students and courses
No per-student fee, no course cap, no artificial limit forcing an upgrade.
Certificates issued automatically
Design a template once. When a student finishes, a PDF certificate with a public verification URL issues on its own.
Coupons and discounts
Percentage or fixed-amount coupons with usage caps. A 100% coupon enrolls a student at no charge.
Content Drip
Release lessons on a schedule — a fixed date or days after enrollment. Students cannot skip ahead.
Academy analytics
Revenue trends, top courses by enrollment, completion counts — filterable by 7, 30, 90, or 365 days.
Certificates
Credentials your students can actually share
The built-in designer produces PDFs with your logo, a signature block, and a QR code that links to the public verification page. Every certificate has a permanent URL at /verify/{uuid}. Anyone can confirm it is real without logging in.
-
Three starter layouts
Classic, Modern, and Minimal — one click from empty to polished.
-
Auto-issues on completion
When a student finishes the course, the certificate generates without any manual action.
-
Public verification
Shareable link anyone can check. No login required to verify.

Questions from coaches
Do I need WooCommerce to sell my courses?
No. Learnomy ships with built-in Stripe and PayPal direct checkout. Action Scheduler is bundled so subscriptions and renewals work without any extra plugin. WooCommerce is available as an optional gateway only if you already use it for something else.
Does Learnomy take a percentage of my sales?
No. Payments go from your student directly to your Stripe or PayPal account. Learnomy charges nothing per transaction. Your only cost is your WordPress hosting.
Can Free handle a solo creator indefinitely?
Yes. Free includes unlimited courses, unlimited students, built-in Stripe and PayPal, membership plans, certificates, coupons, and a full REST API. It is a complete LMS. Pro adds analytics, content drip, learning paths, and Stripe Connect payouts — things growing academies need, not features withheld to force an upgrade.
How do membership subscriptions work?
You create a membership plan with monthly and annual pricing. Students subscribe at checkout via Stripe or PayPal. Renewals, cancellations, and failed payments are handled automatically through the built-in gateway adapters. You configure it once.
Can I issue certificates automatically?
Yes. Design a certificate template in the built-in designer (three starter layouts, merge tags for student name and course, QR code, signature). Assign it to a course. When a student completes the course, the PDF issues automatically and gets a permanent public verification URL.
What happens to my student data if I move hosts?
Everything is in your WordPress database. Your students, their progress, their purchase history, their email addresses. You export your database the same way you export any WordPress site. There is no export fee and no data portability negotiation.
