What it does
Course creators who sell through SamCart and teach through LearnDash often end up doing the same chores by hand: creating a user account for each buyer, then enrolling that person in the right courses. This add-on handles that hand-off for you. After a customer completes a purchase on SamCart, an account is created on your LearnDash site and the buyer gets access to their courses without anyone on your team stepping in.
Setup works through association menus where you link each SamCart product to one or more LearnDash courses. That makes it simple to sell a single course, a bundle of several courses, or a subscription that charges a recurring fee for access. Because checkout happens in SamCart, you can keep using its payment gateways and cart features such as order bumps and one-click upsells, while LearnDash continues to deliver the lessons. No coding is needed to connect the two.

Questions about Samcart
Do buyers have to register separately after paying in SamCart?
No. Once a customer completes a purchase on SamCart, the add-on creates their account on your LearnDash site and grants access to the courses linked to that product, so there is no separate sign-up step for them or manual work for you.
Can one SamCart product give access to several courses?
Yes. You can map a SamCart product to a single LearnDash course or to multiple courses. This is how you set up course bundles, where one purchase enrolls the buyer in every course included in the offer.
Can I sell recurring subscriptions for course access?
Yes. The add-on supports subscriptions, so you can charge recurring fees for access to your courses. It also works with the subscription models and payment gateways available in SamCart, which suits membership-style programs and ongoing training.
Will I need a developer to connect SamCart and LearnDash?
No coding is required. The connection is configured through association menus where you match SamCart products with LearnDash courses, and the setup is designed for marketers and educators without technical backgrounds.
Is Samcart free?
The code of Samcart is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Samcart is this?
Version 1.1.0.1, released Jan 15, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Samcart?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Samcart automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
