You didn’t build an online store just to “sell courses”, you built it to scale a learning business. As a store owner, your focus isn`t just creating great content—it`s keeping students engaged, guiding them to the next course, and increasing your average order value. But doing all that manually? It simply will not work as the student population or course catalog increases.

That`s where intelligent  LearnDash development has real value. While bringing a course to life is useful, the value is in creating a scalable and student-centric ecosystem that sells smarter, automates follow-up, and actively engages them at every step.

Whether you`re looking to recommend relevant courses automatically, offer smart bundles, or let learners choose their price point, your LMS needs to do more, without custom code or marketing guesswork. That’s exactly where the right LearnDash plugins step in. Let’s delve into it further—

Upsells For LearnDash

Creating great courses is only half the journey. The real challenge is to guide the learners to what’s next, without letting opportunities slip away. Upsells for LearnDash make that easy. It helps you show follow-up or advanced courses right when learners are most engaged, on your course pages, lesson screens, or even WooCommerce product pages. No more missed chances or relying on email reminders.

You can assign multiple upsell courses from the backend and present them with a clean and customizable widget. This plugin can be used with both WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads, and because it supports shortcodes, you can place upsells exactly where they matter most.

The payoff? Increased visibility, better journeys for learners, and more repeat enrollments - with no extra marketing noise.

Some of its features are:

Quick & Easy Upsell Configuration: Set up upsells via the LearnDash course backend in just a few clicks. Just pick related courses, save it, and done - no advanced settings to get lost in.

Assign Upsell to Multiple Courses: Easily assign the upsell to multiple courses, especially if you have a flagship or advanced-level course that naturally fits after several beginner-level courses.

Bulk Assign Upsells to Courses:  Help save time by assigning upsells across multiple courses at once. With the bulk update feature, you can assign or edit upsell relationships in batches—no need to configure them one by one.

Widget Placement Using Shortcode: Use shortcodes to place the widget anywhere on the page, not just crowded below the course. 

Easily Connect Upsell Courses: Easily connect upsell courses to products throughout LearnDash, WooCommerce, or EDD. 

Device Responsive & Translation Ready: Made to look great on all screen sizes, ie, from mobile to desktop, and fully translation ready so you can support learners in any language.

Pricing: Upsells for LearnDash are priced at $80 annually. 

Now that your upsells are in place, let’s talk bundling.

Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash   

Let’s say learners who bought the “Java for beginners” course might also be interested in other related courses, such as “Intermediate Java”, “Advanced Java”, or “Python for Beginners,” alongside it. 

That`s where Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash comes into play. This plugin offers you the ability to group related courses and display those courses as one offer, allowing students to buy multiple courses at once. You can even apply discounts on the bundled courses as per your choice. 

FBT allows you to pair digital and physical products in a bundle, like you can offer study materials along with the courses, or you can attach a live webinar with the courses to boost user engagement and provide a better option for them as well. 

By using shortcodes, you can display the FBT widget anywhere on the course page, offering a familiar eCommerce experience. It seamlessly integrates with WooCommerce and EDD, allowing the FBT widget to be available on the product pages. 

If you are looking to turn browsing courses into bundled purchases, this plugin is your strategy - 

Quick bundles with physical or digital products: Easily package LearnDash course bundles as WooCommerce products as digital or physical products directly from your admin backend with just a few clicks, with no coding or configuration settings needed.

Dynamic Bundle Pricing: You can offer the learners added incentivized pricing discounts if they buy or bundle courses together, which is a great strategy to raise average order value.

Shortcode & Widget Placement: Shortcodes & widgets allow you to precisely control where bundles display in your store, such as at the bottom of course content or in call-to-action bars. 

Custom Titles & Messages: Customize any text display for a more personal display. You can also personalize Custom Headers and Custom Call-To-Action buttons that match your site.

WooCommerce & EDD Compatible: Full compatibility with WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads (EDD), which means you can bundle any of your products in any manner you want in your store.

Pricing: Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash is priced at $80 annually.

Looking to push boundaries even further? You can always explore LearnDash Custom Development for more tailored functionalities. Now, let’s look at a flexible pricing model that can expand your audience even further.

Name Your Price for LearnDash  

Name Your Price for LearnDash offers a flexible pricing model that puts learners in control, while you stay in charge. Admins can set the minimum, maximum, and suggested price while learners choose what they can afford within that range. This approach allows for global learners with different budgets and encourages generosity from those who want to pay more. 

Ideal for value-based pricing or donation-based models, the plugin helps to establish trust, increase accessibility, and overall average order value. The plugin integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce and will work on products and courses. You can also customize all label text and error messages to match your tone and brand.

Some of its additional Key Features include 

• Simple & Quick Setup - Activate the `Name Your Price` feature on your WooCommerce product page in a matter of minutes. 
• Custom Labels - You can customize the labels "name your price", "suggested price", "minimum price", and "maximum price", in the style that matches your brand.
• Display Options: You select whether you want to see the pricing option on the WooCommerce product page or the LearnDash course page.
• Flexible Price Controls: Each course can have a set minimum price, maximum price, and suggested price. The learners can choose their price, and you can also guide them to a price you are most comfortable with. This lets students pick their course price, while still having limits, creates useful perceived value, and trust.
• Error Handling: Configure custom error messages to assist students if their selected price exceeds the defined limits. When a customer tries to enroll for your course and tries to enter a price within the $40 - $100 range but enters $20, the student will see a screen similar to: "Thank you for your interest! Please note that the minimum price for this course is $40. Kindly adjust your amount to continue."
• Increased Contributions: By allowing students to pay what they believe the course is worth, you may experience a rise in average revenue per student.
• Market Insight: Acquire insights into how much students are willing to pay, aiding in the adjustment of pricing strategies accordingly.

Pricing: Multiple Certificates Pro for LearnDash is priced at $80 annually.
