    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.
    • Added the ability to customize the language for the “Members Only” button displayed when the visitor/user doesn’t meet the product restriction requirements. Each product/variation can be customized to be unique or use the sitewide default “Members Only”

    • LifterLMS student registration actions are now triggered automatically during WooCommerce checkout registration ensuring that student welcome notification emails are sent automatically and registration engagement actions are triggered.
    • WooCommerce customer billing information is automatically synced to LifterLMS student fields to ensure LifterLMS merge codes work and the information is available on LifterLMS reporting screens.

    • Added an information message when viewing LifterLMS Checkout & Gateway settings on the admin panel to help orient users to the related WooCommerce settings panels which should be used when using this integration.
