WooCommerce integration

If you already run a WooCommerce store, you can route course sales through it instead of (or alongside) CourseGlade’s own checkout.

Enable it

Go to CourseGlade → Settings → Payments and turn on the WooCommerce card (“Route course purchases through your existing WooCommerce checkout”). A status line tells you whether WooCommerce is active, inactive (with an “Activate it” link), or required (with an “Install WooCommerce” link).

There are no API keys to enter — the integration piggybacks on the installed WooCommerce plugin.

Sync Prices

The one setting is Sync Prices — “Keep WooCommerce product prices in sync with course prices automatically.” Leave it on so a course price change updates its linked product.

How linking works

You don’t create a product by hand. When a course is bought through WooCommerce, CourseGlade creates a linked WooCommerce product automatically and:

• hides it from your shop catalog (it’s only reachable via the course)
• makes it virtual, sold individually, and price-synced to the course
• enrolls the buyer when the order completes — whether the sale came through CourseGlade’s checkout or a direct WooCommerce purchase

Order status stays in sync between CourseGlade and WooCommerce, and CourseGlade coupons apply as a cart discount.

Which checkout should I use?

Situation	Recommendation
Courses are your only product	Built-in Stripe checkout — fewer moving parts
You already sell other products in WooCommerce	WooCommerce gateway — one checkout for everything
You need a gateway Stripe doesn’t cover	WooCommerce gateway — use any WooCommerce payment extension

Both checkouts create the same CourseGlade orders and enrollments, so reports, earnings, and commissions work identically.
