Watch me code a simple WooCommerce plugin for selling and managing online courses.
Masterclass overview
My business relies on creating and selling simple WooCommerce mini-plugins. There are hundreds of “LMS for WooCommerce” plugins out there, so my goal here is to create a super-simplified version that can be brought to market.
In the first few minutes we will define the MVP (so the required LMS / Woo features before I can market the plugin). After that, we will implement one feature at a time, snippet by snippet, PHP after PHP, and finally package the whole code together into a proper plugin file.

Hello Rodolfo,
I wanted to reach out and share that it was this particular lesson that inspired me to sign up for the membership! While I must admit that my initial expectations were somewhat higher, I’ve come to realize that this is a perfect starting point. It would be wonderful if future courses and modules could include a bit more structure. I’m curious about managing multiple courses with various modules and lessons, and how best to organize them. I’m hopeful that you’ll expand on these topics or offer some guidance, as I plan to develop a more comprehensive LMS for my own use. I’m eagerly looking forward to participating in all of your masterclasses soon! Thank you so much for this opportunity; I am truly excited to learn from and alongside you.
Appreciate your great feedback Jacek! Indeed, this was a “getting started” lesson…LMS are much more complex and it’s impossible to code a full functionality in 30 minutes.
However, you can always use our private Slack channel to get advice and share your code/plan, so that we can help you!
Thank you again
