🎓 Online Courses

Your course, your player, start to finish..

Build lessons with videos, notes and materials. On Starter you link your YouTube or Vimeo videos; on Pro you upload them and we host, encode and stream everything for you. Either way students get the same course player — progress tracking, notes, materials and star reviews you reply to.

Everything online courses gives you.

Hosted video on Pro

On Pro, upload lessons straight into Store.Fan and we encode and stream them — no third-party embeds. Starter courses link a YouTube or Vimeo video per lesson.

Real course player

Chaptered lessons, autoplay-next, resume where you left off — a player that feels like a paid platform.

Materials per lesson

Attach worksheets, PDFs and files to any lesson. Students download them right in the player.

Progress & notes

Students see their completion percentage and can take timestamped notes as they learn.

Reviews & replies

Students rate your course with stars and comments. You reply from the dashboard — publicly, building trust.

Creator preview

Preview your course exactly as a student sees it before you publish — player, lessons, everything.

How it works.

From zero to live in a few minutes — here's the whole flow.

  1. 1

    Build the course

    Dashboard → Courses → New. Add lessons, paste a video link (or upload on Pro), attach worksheets, write lesson notes.

  2. 2

    Attach it to a product

    Create a “Course” product, set your price, and link the course. Access is granted automatically at purchase.

  3. 3

    Students learn

    Buyers get instant access to the player — streaming video, materials, progress tracking, notes.

  4. 4

    Collect reviews

    Ratings appear on your course page; reply to every review from Dashboard → Courses.

Online Courses — common questions.

Do I need YouTube or Vimeo to host my videos?

On Starter, yes — each lesson links a video you host on YouTube or Vimeo (unlisted works fine). On Pro you upload lesson files straight into Store.Fan and we host, encode and stream them, so your content never lives on a public video platform.

Can students download my videos?

No — lessons play inside the course player behind purchase-gated access. Videos we host on Pro stream only; attached materials (worksheets, PDFs) are downloadable by design.

How do course reviews work?

After buying, students can rate your course 1–5 stars with a comment right from the player. You see every review in your dashboard and can post a public reply. Ratings build social proof for future buyers.

Can I update a course after people bought it?

Yes — add or reorder lessons anytime. Every student, past and future, sees the updated course immediately.
