Don’t Let People Lie To You
I recently learnt about a LearnDash customer who was advised to switch to a rival LMS since it integrates better with WooCommerce. It was absurd, wholly untrue, and relied on faulty reasoning to support its position. It is absurd to suggest that LearnDash and WooCommerce don’t operate well together. Here’s my suggestion, though, on how to make WooCommerce even more useful for LearnDash course developers.
Enhancing WooCommerce and the My Account Page
Playing around with video. I’m not a video editor, so trust me. Until today, I have never done anything but click “export” when it comes to videos. This work is undoubtedly difficult, but I demonstrate what I mean in the video below.

Pretty, huh? To be honest, I’m completely incompetent at this. However, I am aware of how to improve WooCommerce so that LearnDash users can benefit much from it, which is why I made the video.
When you download and install the free Code Snippets plugin, this is the code you require. Keep the code safe. Put Snippets in Place. Next, select Import from the Snippets main menu. At that point, you should feed it the downloaded file.
Why is This so Powerful?
It’s all about friction.
When a user buys a LearnDash course using WooCommerce, they don’t know where to go afterwards because WooCommerce shows them a receipt. In a previous video I showed you how I use a custom thank you page redirection plugin to let them know they should go to the My Account page.
Reducing friction improves consumer satisfaction.
The friction that a new consumer has when they get lost is removed by what I just demonstrated to you. That’s not a problem with LearnDash. The reason for this is that the two events were not connected.
For this reason, I enhanced WooCommerce with these three scripts to remove any obstacles and link the two on the My Account page.
It’s absurd to imply that the only way to get around this friction is to use a different LMS plugin (particularly because doing so will make the LMS experience less enjoyable overall).
Reducing friction improves consumer satisfaction.
LearnDash is the Market Leader for a Reason
I am aware that I work for LearnDash every day. I may therefore appear biassed to you. You’re correct, too. not that I work there, though. To be clear, I could have bought any WordPress LMS plugin available on the market. I work for the Liquid Web team, and they provided me the finances and approval to choose and submit an offer.
I’ve used and worked with all of them, but LearnDash was my first pick. I am biassed, of course. I believe that my initial decision to lead the team there, as well as my subsequent purchase and role-taking, were the proper ones.
We are the industry leader not because I choose it over the competition, but rather because educators and course designers have a long history of producing high-quality products.
We are not merely producers of plugins capable of imitating other functionalities. Not just plugin developers agree that this is an excellent market for new product development. We are experts in LMS and online course development that are looking to enhance the WordPress environment with a fantastic offering. And from the beginning until the present, it has been the case.
I adore WooCommerce. I also adore LearnDash. And they both collaborate rather well. Never allow anyone to mislead you.
