Creator LMS - Online Courses and eLearning Plugin

Yes! The core Creator LMS plugin is 100% free and includes everything you need to create and sell online courses: unlimited courses, lessons, quizzes, certificates, native checkout with Stripe, and basic email automation.

No. Creator LMS includes a fully native checkout system built specifically for course sales — no WooCommerce or any other eCommerce plugin required. Accept payments with Stripe and Mollie out of the box, record offline payments, and manage all orders from the Creator LMS dashboard. WooCommerce integration is on the roadmap as an optional addition for users who need it, but it will never be required.

No. Creator LMS has its own native checkout — WooCommerce is never installed or needed. Students go from course page to enrolled in a streamlined two-step checkout powered by Stripe or Mollie. No cart, no WooCommerce order flow, no plugin conflicts. Order management, refunds, and revenue tracking all live inside Creator LMS.

Yes. Creator LMS includes a certificate builder to create and issue professional completion certificates for each course. Certificates are automatically generated when students meet completion requirements.

Absolutely. Creator LMS offers free migration tools for Tutor LMS, LearnDash, and LearnPress. We also support SCORM imports from any SCORM-compliant LMS. Our support team can assist with migration if needed.

Creator LMS is built specifically for creators, not institutions. We include native eCommerce (no WooCommerce required), cohort-based learning, built-in community platform, one-click upsells, and AI course generation—all in one plugin. Other LMS platforms require 5-10 paid add-ons to get similar features.

Pro adds: cohort-based courses, built-in community platform, AI Suite (course generation), gamification (badges, leaderboards), advanced email automation with Mail Mint, one-click offers, memberships and subscriptions, assignments, content protection, additional payment gateways (PayPal, Authorize.net, Razorpay), and premium integrations.

Yes, in Creator LMS Pro. Build discussion forums, Q&A sections, and member profiles without installing BuddyPress or separate community plugins. Everything is integrated into the LMS.

Absolutely. Creator LMS works with any WordPress theme and all major page builders (Elementor, Bricks, Gutenberg, WPBakery, uiXpress). Customize course layouts, colors, and branding to match your site.

Yes! Creator LMS is designed for creators without technical backgrounds. The setup wizard guides you through configuration, course templates help you start quickly, and video tutorials cover every feature. You can launch your first course in under an hour.

No. Creator LMS is built with performance in mind. The plugin is lightweight, follows WordPress coding standards, and is compatible with caching plugins. Most sites see no noticeable performance impact.

Yes. Creator LMS Pro integrates with Mail Mint for advanced email automation. You can also use webhooks to connect with Zapier, Make, and other automation platforms to integrate with any email marketing tool.

Yes. You can export courses, student data, and order information to CSV files for backup or migration to other systems.

Yes. Creator LMS works with self-hosted videos, YouTube, Vimeo, and any embeddable video source. All videos play through Creator LMS's custom video player — YouTube and Vimeo URLs are supported but stripped of platform branding, so students see no YouTube recommendations, no Vimeo watermarks, and no distracting logos. Pro will add Amazon S3 integration for optimized video hosting.

We release updates regularly—typically 1-2 major updates per quarter plus security patches as needed. All updates are free for both free and pro users.

Creator LMS Free includes native Stripe checkout with no WooCommerce required — something that requires additional setup in LearnDash and Tutor LMS. Creator LMS Pro then adds built-in community, cohort-based learning, AI course generation, one-click upsells/down-sells, and gamification — features that require expensive separate add-ons in competing plugins. Creator LMS Pro bundles all of these at one price. Free one-click migration from LearnDash, Tutor LMS, and LearnPress is built in.

Yes. Creator LMS runs on your own WordPress site — no monthly platform fees, no revenue share, and full ownership of your student data and course content. You pay for hosting, not a percentage of every sale.

Yes. Creator LMS is compatible with WordPress Multisite (network) installations.

Yes. All student data is stored in your own WordPress database under your hosting account. No student data is sent to third-party servers (except payment data processed by your chosen payment gateway). We ship regular security updates and participate in the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program for responsible disclosure.
