Trial courses

Trial Courses addon lets your potential learners try out your online courses for free. You can give trial access to specific lessons within your courses and attract more learners.

Allow your students to try some of the lessons for free with the Trial Courses feature.

How to set up the Trial Courses addon

To enable Trial courses, go to the Pro Addons and enable it.

Click on the Settings icon, which will appear on the dashboard after enabling the addon, and enter the number of free lessons you want to be in the course.

Once the free trial lesson is completed, a student will be offered to buy the course to unlock the rest of the content.
