  • LifterLMS WooCommerce Version 2.0.0-beta.1

    Access Plans Instead of Related Products
    • Instead of relating courses & membership to products you can now relate Access Plans to Products (and product variations!)
    • Course & Membership pricing tables will now look like native LifterLMS pricing tables except information will be pulled from the product
    • It is now possible to create one-time payment products which EXPIRE by utilizing access plan expiration functionality!
    • You can use FREE access plans which will move students through the native “Free Enrollment” checkout process provided by the LifterLMS Core instead of having to create a $0.00 product. It is additionally possible to link an access plan to a $0.00 product if you prefer that user experience.
    • All the above is additionally possible with subscription products (and subscription variations) when using WooCommerce Subscriptions
    Members Only Product Restrictions
    • Members Only product functionality has been reworked and extended to product variations
    • Each product (subscription) variation can have it’s own membership restriction. Simple products retain preexisting functionality.
