how to protect/sell courses made with rise?

We ended up using LMS Checkout for the ecommerce side and Bridge for the LMS. Yes, it's very pricey (over $15k entry point) but we are anticipating large returns. None of it is a smooth process to implement, I really feel like we had to Frankenstein this whole system together.

I am beyond frustrated!!!!! I would love to buy an Articulate subscription just to use the rise360 option. I hate powerpoint training so storyline does not work for my needs. 

Why is it so difficult to find an  affordable platform to accommodate rise360 courses? Thinkific almost works, but no images and not professionally enough to sell.

Rise.com is expensive vs Thinkific and I find the reporting very hard to navigate. I admit I haven't taken all the training, but it seems I have to manually allocate training to users once they have an account and it doesn't notify me when they activate - so how do you scale that up? 

Please can Articulate have a talk with Thinkific to make rise360 work? I would subscribe to both and it would still be more affordable than any other option I have found..

I've spent lots of time researching this very topic. There are hundreds (yes, hundreds) of options. I want to offer my customers lifetime access to the classes. That eliminates many of the LMS companies; they charge a monthly fee per active user. 

I am a Shopify and Wordpress developer. I'm leaning toward using LearnDash which is a WP LMS. But I'd like more experienced users to suggest other options.

I'm looking for the same thing. Specifically, setting up a website that offers Rise courses through a tiered subscription model. Tiered based on (i) number of users per subscriber (ranging from a single user to 50 users) and (ii) number of courses subscribed. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever get an answer to your question Jacqueline? I'm in a similar situation as you. Thank you

I'm looking for the same thing. I've developed a number of courses in Rise and they will be hosted on Brightspace. We want to incorporate an e-commerce component so that we can sell the courses. I'm looking for less expensive third party e-commerce software to see what my options are. Brightspace offers e-commerce options, but with a pricey setup fee (similar to what Richard mentioned above). We'll be building our learner base and don't expect huge numbers and so a huge setup fee is not an option. Any suggestions for e-commerce software that could work with RISE courses on Brightspace LMS? Thanks!

Hi

I'm also interested in suggestions on a cost effective lms or alternative methods to host online courses (with e-commerce feature). Has anyone used Thinkific or Teachable? If so, do they work with Rise/Storyline?

Joe -- Did you go with LearnDash or something else?

Thanks for any info or advice!

Has anyone found a solution. I too am in the market for a inexpensive e-commerce solution. Did the Learn Dash method work?

Perhaps Firmwater?  They sell based on monthly signups not active users. 

What do you mean images don't work in Thinkific? Which images?
