How to Build Product Course
Creating Product Course
You can connect to a payment processor like Stripe to collect payments from your customers.
This is where you can create courses to build a gateway to memberships.
You can decide to use the templates provided (Sprint, Marathon, and Membership) or build your course from scratch. The process of creating these courses is all the same.
