Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Install and configure the Shopify Moodle Integration app
- Add the Shopify Moodle Integration app from the Shopify App Store. Choose the Scale Plan, which includes managing subscriptions, support for recurring billing, and workflows for automated enrollment.
- Shopify Plus with Advanced Subscription Features: If your store is on Shopify Plus, the integration supports advanced subscription features like tiered pricing, family plans, and managing enterprise subscriptions.
2. Set up your subscription products in Shopify.
- Create subscription products in Shopify using the Shopify Subscriptions app or the built-in subscription features. Set up different subscription tiers: Monthly, Annual, Premium, and Enterprise.
- Configure subscription intervals, billing cycles, and policies for cancellation.
3. Configure Course Library and Access Management
- Organize your Moodle courses into categories and learning paths that are accessible through subscriptions.
- Set up course groups in Moodle for different subscription levels and access rights. Configure schedules for content delivery based on subscriptions.
4. Integration Configuration for Subscriptions
- Link subscription products to Moodle course categories and access permissions.
- Ensure real-time synchronization for changes in subscription status and billing events.
5. Subscription Enrollment and Access Flow Handling
- The app handles the entire subscription enrollment process. This includes processing subscription purchases, creating student accounts, and granting access to different course levels.
- When a customer subscribes through Shopify, the integration automatically creates a student account in Moodle and enrolls them in the right course groups based on their subscription tier.
6. Customer Account Creation and Subscription Mapping
- If a new customer subscribes, the integration automatically sets up a matching student account in Moodle with permissions based on their subscription.
- Existing customers are identified by their email address, and their subscription tier determines their course access.
- Welcome emails with login details and subscription information are sent out automatically to new subscribers.
7. Subscription Status and Access Management
- The integration grants immediate access to courses that are eligible for the subscription as soon as the subscription is activated.
- It monitors changes in subscription status, such as active, paused, cancelled, or expired, and adjusts course access accordingly.
- It also manages subscription renewals, upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations, updating Moodle access automatically.
8. Content Drip and Subscription Scheduling
- You can set up content drip schedules for subscription-based courses, allowing for weekly or monthly content releases.
- Seasonal content can be configured based on academic calendars or business cycles. Live session access and exclusive content can also be scheduled for premium subscribers.
