Today, we will discuss some of the best LearnDash plugins developed by SaffireTech. So, Let’s begin!

Why settle for fewer course sales when you could increase them by setting up upsells?

With the Upsells for LearnDash plugin, you can set up Upsells in a matter of seconds and display them on the course listing page.

You can use this upsell widget to showcase courses similar to the one you offered, or you could display higher-end courses.

Assume you are selling 3 similar courses but each course has different offerings. Here’s an example,

• Course 1- English,

• Course 2- English + Grammar,

• Course 3- English + Grammar + Personal Tips.

You can display all these 3 courses on a single course page. This would help learners explore each offering of the same course right from a single page. This helps increase the visibility and awareness of your different course offerings.

Moreover, You can display all these offerings on a single course page, making it easier for visitors to understand what’s available.

In case you didn’t like the placement of the Upsell widget, you can use the shortcodes to place the widget anywhere on the course listing page.

The enroll count feature is quite useful for educators to know how many students have enrolled in their course.

You also get a Show More widget. Initially, only a few courses are displayed on the listing page. But when the customer clicks on ‘Show More’, they will be shown the entire course list.

Features of Upsells for LearnDash are:

• Setup Upsells in seconds– You can set up your Upsells widget on the course listing page in an instant. All you need to do is go to your backend, select the courses for the upsells, save it and that’s it.
• Widget Flexibility– When you activate the upsells widget, it will be placed below the course information by default. But you can make use of shortcodes to change the location of the Upsells widget.
• Integration– Upsells for LearnDash seamlessly works with WooCommerce and Easy Digital Download to sell your courses.
• ‘Show More’ button– When you want to display multiple courses in the Upsells widget, you can display a few and the rest will be shown when the customer clicks on the ‘Show More’ button. But if you disable this setting, all the courses will be displayed in the Upsells widget.
• Upsell Widget Title– With this setting, you can set the heading you want for your Upsell widget.

Pricing– Upsells for LearnDash is priced at $80.

Boosting sales by displaying frequently bought courses had never been easier. Here’s why I give you the ‘Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash‘ plugin.

For sure you get sales by displaying individual courses. But when you display courses that are frequently bought together along with the course they are viewing, you give your customers an idea that those extra courses would be useful to them. This would pique their interest and make them check out the frequently bought course.

As an example, you could take a Digital Marketing course, where you display the ‘SEO mastery’ course and a ‘Content Branding’ course as frequently bought together. Viewers who check out the ‘Digital Marketing’ would be interested in going through the ‘SEO mastery’ and ‘Content Branding’ courses.

What’s more, is you can choose to set discounts to the courses you are offering in the Frequently Bought Together Widget. You can offer 2 types of discounts- Fixed and percentage-based.

If you find setting up ‘Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash’ difficult, I recommend you seek assistance from a LearnDash developer.

The Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash plugin displays its widget after the course description by default. But you can change its location using a shortcode and place it anywhere on the LearnDash Course page.

Features of this frequently bought together plugin are:

• Quick Setup– Once you link all your courses with their WooCommerce or EDD listing, you can quickly set up the ‘Frequently Bought Together’ section from the backend.
• Pair Physical and Digital Products– You don’t have to worry about bundling different product types. With this plugin, you can easily bundle Physical and Digital products together. You could sell your merch along with your course and also offer a downloadable pdf altogether in a bundle.
• FBT Widget Display– By default your Frequently Bought Together widget will be placed after the course description. But, you can use shortcodes to place it anywhere on the LearnDash course page.
• Seamless Integration– The Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash plugin seamlessly integrates with WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads to help sell your courses.
• Discounts– After you are done selecting the courses you want to display in the FBT section, you can choose to apply discounts to them. So when a customer buys the course with an FBT course, a discount will be added when they checkout.

Pricing– Frequently Bought Together plugin is priced from $80.

Certificates help increase confidence and give a sense of accomplishment. But, do you think a single certificate would suffice after completing a course that tests your multiple skills? Of course not!

The problem is, if you want to generate certificates LearnDash only allows you to set a single certificate for any course. Let’s take an example of a Culinary course. If a Learner masters a Culinary course, where they learn how to bake a cake, grill a fish, and deep fry a chicken; it wouldn’t be fun if they received just one certificate for learning all those skills.

Here’s where the “Multiple Certificates Pro for LearnDash” plugin comes in. With this plugin, you can issue multiple certificates for courses, quizzes, groups, and lessons.

Think of it this way, after you complete the ‘baking a cake’ part, you receive a certificate for it. Similarly, when you complete the ‘Grilling a Fish’ and ‘Deep frying a Chicken’ parts of the Culinary course, you receive their respective certificates. This not only improves the learning process for the learner but also boosts engagement.

And that’s not it. Other than setting up multiple certificates for Courses, quizzes, and Groups, you can set multiple certificates for Lessons as well. Moreover, you can send automatic emails with the certificates to the Learner when they master a certain skill. And these certificates are saved to your servers. You can choose to turn off this option in the plugin if you don’t want to save the certificates.

Features of this LearnDash certificates plugin are:

• Issue Multiple Certificates– With the Multiple Certificates for LearnDash plugin, you can assign multiple certificates to a course, quiz, group, and lessons. This helps boost student engagement in your courses.
• Automatic Emails– When a student completes a course, an email with their course certificates will be sent automatically to them. They are completely customizable and you can choose whether you want to save those certificates on your server or not.
• Multiple Certificates for Lessons– Other than Courses, Quizzes, and Groups, you can set up certificates for Lessons as well. There is no limit to certificates for Lessons.
• Personalize Emails– You control what you send in your automatic emails. You can change the email subject, CC certificates, email body and even add in placeholders like {full_name}, and {course_name} for more information on the course.
• Group Certificates– You can set multiple certificates to Grouped courses. When a learner completes a particular course in the group, they can then download the certificate for that course.

Pricing– Multiple Certificates Pro for LearnDash starts its pricing from $80.

Finding it difficult to manage assignments for all the courses and quizzes you offer? Maintaining discipline is key. It is a huge part of eLearning.

Reminders are quite helpful when a student forgets to complete a quiz or a course or an assignment. But why stop there when you could also provide reminders on pending assignments, congratulate students on gaining an achievement, or update course content? These personalized LearnDash emails ensure no student is left unnoticed.

But LearnDash does not offer you such features. This is why I introduce you to the “Student Email Notification for LearnDash” plugin. With this plugin, you can send email notifications to students. And not just any notification, but uniquely personalized LearnDash email notifications that celebrate a victory when they ace a quiz, or gentle reminders on pending assignments.

Have you ever thought about how you can earn more through simple donations or willingness to pay more as your course has greatly helped your learners?

Let’s take an example. Say, you are selling a course for $90. Now, you provide your learners with the option to support your business by accepting small donations for the impact they had because of your course. Assuming a few learners are willing to donate extra, this would increase your course value to go above $100.

The “Name Your Price for LearnDash” does exactly what you want it to do. You can easily set up the minimum price, maximum price, and suggested price after enabling it from the WooCommerce product page.

This plugin lets you change the labels and error messages for Name Your Price, Suggested Price, Minimum Price, and Maximum Price to match your brand’s style.

Here is another scenario you could use this plugin. Let’s say you launch a new course but you do not know the expected market value of that course. What you can do is let customers pay the price for the course after assessing your course. This would give you a better idea of its value.

Not everyone is able to pay the entire amount of course. So you can set a minimum and maximum value for your course. This way, your customers can pay the price ranging between the minimum and maximum amount. It’s a win-win situation for both of you.

And you don’t have to worry about the placement of ‘Name Your Price’. You can choose whether you want to display it on the WooCommerce product page or on the LearnDash course page.
