No per-sale tax, ever. You pay once for the build. After that, a ₹5,000 course sale stays a ₹5,000 sale, minus only the payment gateway’s standard fee. LMS & course platform setup From ₹60,000 From $719 per project · scoped and quoted upfront - LearnDash, Tutor LMS, or LifterLMS installed and configured - Course structure with modules, lessons, quizzes, and drip schedules - Razorpay or Stripe checkout for one-time sales and subscriptions - Protected video delivery through Bunny.net or Vimeo - Student dashboard with progress tracking and certificates - Enrollment and completion email automation wired in [Build my course platform](#start) Membership sites, cohort features, and community spaces are quoted as add-ons after scoping. All prices include GST. How this runs ## You will know the price and the plan before I touch anything. 1 ### Structure We map your curriculum into modules, lessons, and prerequisites, and plan the student journey from signup to certificate. The LMS choice falls out of this map, not the other way around. You leave with: a course blueprint and a fixed quote. 2 ### Build The LMS, checkout, video hosting, and student dashboard get configured on your WordPress site. Payments run through Razorpay or Stripe with UPI enabled for Indian students. You leave with: a working platform you can log into as a student. 3 ### Load Your videos, PDFs, and worksheets get organized into the structure, with quizzes, drip schedules, and certificates wired in. I enroll as a test student and walk the whole course. You leave with: your content live behind a tested paywall. 4 ### Hand over Enrollment emails fire, progress tracks, certificates generate. You get a walkthrough of adding lessons and managing students, so the platform doesn’t need me to run. You leave with: a live course and an operating walkthrough. A note from me ## How I set up a course platform I taught mathematics before I built websites, and I sell learning material on my own site today. So I build course platforms from both chairs: what keeps a student moving, and what keeps the seller from bleeding fees to a hosted platform. I check the money path first. Checkout, UPI, invoices, refunds, and the enrollment email, because a student who pays and then stares at a blank dashboard is a refund waiting to happen. I won’t oversell the plumbing either. The platform doesn’t make the course good; your teaching does. What it does is stop a 5 to 10 percent platform cut and give you students’ emails as your own asset. — Gaurav Before you write in ## This isn’t for every site. ### Worth starting - You have course content ready, or nearly ready, and need the platform around it. - You’re paying a hosted platform monthly plus a cut per sale and want out. - You want Indian students to pay by UPI without friction. - You plan to sell more than one course and want a platform that scales with you. - You want your student email list to be yours, not the platform’s. ### Look elsewhere - Your budget is under ₹40,000. Start on a hosted platform and move to WordPress once sales justify the build. - Your course content doesn’t exist yet. I build the platform; recording and writing the course is your work or separate scope. - You expect the platform to market the course. Hosted marketplaces bring some discovery; your own site brings none by default. - You want zero maintenance forever. A WordPress LMS needs updates; that’s the tradeoff for ownership. - You need enterprise SCORM compliance and HR integrations. That’s a different class of LMS project. ## If you want to: - Keep every sale instead of paying a platform cut forever - Own your student list as an asset no platform can take away - Launch properly with payments, drip, and emails tested first [Build my course platform](#start) ## Common questions Not answered here? [Ask directly](#start) and you will hear back within 24 hours. What does LMS and course setup cost? Projects start at ₹60,000, and that price includes GST. The final quote depends on course count, video volume, and whether you need memberships or community features, and you get it in writing before the build starts. Why WordPress instead of Teachable or Kajabi? Ownership and economics. Hosted platforms charge monthly and typically take a cut of every sale, control your student list, and limit your SEO. On WordPress you pay for the build once, keep every sale minus gateway fees, and the lesson pages can rank in search. Which LMS plugin will you use? LearnDash for depth and a mature ecosystem, Tutor LMS for a friendlier admin at lower cost, LifterLMS when memberships are the model. All three run on WordPress you own. I recommend one for your case and tell you why, before you buy any license. Can students pay by UPI and get certificates? Yes to both. Razorpay handles UPI, cards, and netbanking for Indian students, with Stripe added if you sell internationally. Certificates generate automatically on completion, and quizzes and progress tracking are part of the standard setup. What if the course doesn’t sell? The platform can’t rescue a course nobody wants; no honest builder claims otherwise. What the setup does is remove the recurring platform tax and give you SEO-capable pages and your own email list, which are the levers you then use to market it. If your topic has no proven demand, I’ll flag that during scoping. ## Adjacent services [All services →](https://gauravtiwari.org/services/) - [FluentCart Development Sell courses and digital products from one store](https://gauravtiwari.org/services/fluentcart-store-development-services/) - [Payment Gateway Setup Razorpay and UPI tested end to end](https://gauravtiwari.org/services/payment-gateway-setup-services/) - [Email & Automation Student sequences beyond enrollment emails](https://gauravtiwari.org/services/email-automation-services/) - [Blog Setup & Monetization Content that feeds students into the course](https://gauravtiwari.org/services/blog-setup-monetization-services/) - [Performance Optimization Fast lesson pages that hold attention](https://gauravtiwari.org/services/performance-optimization-services/) - [WordPress Development The broader build service behind the LMS](https://gauravtiwari.org/services/wordpress-development-services/) ![](https://r2.gauravtiwari.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/about-gaurav-tiwari-featured-2026-1200x500.webp) About me ## So, who’s building your store? I sell my own products through the same stack I would build for you. Store owners hire me because I break my own checkout before a customer can. I was a teacher before I was a developer. I taught mathematics to competitive-exam students, which is why I explain hard things plainly instead of hiding behind jargon. What I am actually good at is the join: technical SEO, fast front-ends, and content treated as one system instead of three vendors blaming each other. - Runs his own FluentCart storefront - Author of GT Extensions for FluentCart - $38M+ client revenue influenced - Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree and Stripe in production - 850+ clients since 2008 - Building for the web since 2008 [More about me](https://gauravtiwari.org/about/) [See the full track record](https://gauravtiwari.org/resume/) ## Tell me what you teach.
