Sell Courses & Memberships Without Renting a Platform

Kajabi keeps 100% of your students. You keep the invoice.

Build the course, gate the content, take the payment on your own Stripe, and have every student be a CRM contact you can text — not a row in a platform you rent access to. Modules, drip schedules, quizzes, certificates and the win-back message all live in the same workspace.

Everything else in Chirply comes with it

The problem is not that it is hard.

It is that nobody has the hours, and the cost of skipping it never shows up as a line on any invoice.

Your students are trapped in a tool that cannot text them

The course platform knows who stopped at lesson three. Your email tool does not, your phone does not, and connecting the two is a monthly export nobody keeps doing past week six.

You are paying rent on content you already made

The lessons are finished. The videos are recorded. And the bill arrives every month regardless, priced against how well you are doing rather than what it costs to serve a page.

Refunds and churn arrive with no warning

Completion is the single best predictor of whether someone renews, and it is sitting in a system that has no way to act on it. By the time you notice, the card has already been cancelled.

Set up once. It runs from then on.

Build

Lay the course out in modules

Ordered modules and rich lessons — video, written content, downloads, durations, drafts. Set a drip schedule so week two does not unlock on day one.

Gate

Decide who can open what

Named access products gate pages one at a time. Members sign in with a secure email link — no password to reset — and you can invite, grant, revoke or suspend access from the contact record.

Sell

Charge on your own Stripe

One-time, payment plan or recurring subscription, sold through checkout with an order bump and a one-click upsell. The money lands in your account; the platform takes no cut of it.

Finish

Test them, certify them, keep them

AI drafts a multiple-choice quiz from the lesson and you set the pass mark. Completion issues a publicly verifiable certificate and can fire a workflow — the testimonial ask, the upsell, or the nudge to whoever stalled in module two.

Every piece of this is already live.

These are not roadmap items. Each one is running in production today, described here in the same words the full product catalog uses.

Courses, quizzes & certificates

Deliver a real learning product and see who finishes it.

Build courses from ordered modules and rich lessons, enroll contacts, track progress, test comprehension, and issue publicly verifiable completion certificates.

Video, rich content, downloads, duration, drafts, and ordered modules
Drip schedules and community-level gates
AI-generated multiple-choice quiz drafts with passing requirements
Enrollment, lesson progress, completion automations, and certificate lookup

Member sites & access products

Sell protected content and control who can open each page.

Turn a site into a member experience with passwordless login, named access products, page-level gates, invitations, and manual or automated entitlement changes.

Secure email login links
Page access by one or more products
Invite, grant, revoke, suspend, and sign out members
Member history tied back to the CRM contact

Checkout, order bumps & upsells

Raise the order value without sending buyers through another tool.

Sell through embedded order forms with optional bumps and one-click post-purchase upsells, all charged through the workspace's connected Stripe account.

One-time and recurring products
Order bump on the checkout step
One-click upsell and downsell flows
Orders, payment state, refunds, and customer identity retained

Recurring subscriptions you sell

Sell your own memberships and let access manage itself.

Sell recurring products through your funnels on your own Stripe account. A paid subscription grants the buyer's access automatically, a lapsed one revokes it, and subscribers manage their own card and cancellation through a Stripe billing portal.

Charged on the workspace's own Stripe account — including Connect sales — never pooled through the platform
Membership access is granted on payment and revoked when the subscription ends, with no manual list-keeping
Buyers update their card or cancel through Stripe's billing portal, so card details never touch Chirply
A sensible default portal configuration is created for Stripe accounts that never set one up

Funnel & website builder

Ship the customer-facing experience without another platform.

Build standalone sites and multi-step conversion funnels from reusable sections and responsive components, then publish them from the same workspace.

Pages, navigation, forms, countdowns, pricing, testimonials, checkout, and custom HTML
Desktop, tablet, and mobile previews
Form submissions create or update contacts and can trigger workflows
Draft, publish, unpublish, version, restore, and performance reporting

Broadcast campaigns

Reach a whole segment on any channel, from one screen.

One-off blasts by email, SMS, ringless voicemail, outbound IVR or AI call — one composer, one audience builder, real analytics. Multi-step follow-ups are automations.

Any channel from one composer — email, SMS, voicemail drop, IVR or AI call
Send windows, days of week, timezone, and throttle-per-minute
Email goes out through your sender pool, so warmup caps are respected and a send bigger than today's capacity parks the remainder for tomorrow instead of failing it
Every send appears in the background jobs monitor, where you can pause, stop, reschedule or slow it down while it is still running

Visual workflow builder

Build the follow-up once and let it run forever.

Multi-step workflows with waits and branching, triggered by what actually happens in your business.

Triggers: contact created, tag added, deal stage changed, form submitted, message received, call completed, on a schedule, or manually / by webhook
Steps: send SMS or email, add or remove tags, add to a list, move a pipeline stage, create a task, wait, call a webhook, notify your team
Voice steps: ringless voicemail, outbound IVR, sales bridge, AI call, enroll in a campaign
Full run history so you can see what fired and why

This is the part of Chirply that solves courses & memberships. See the other 14 areas — CRM, scheduling, messaging, automations, funnels, commerce, reputation and the rest — all included in the same workspace.

Try it on your own business for 30 days.

You do not have to migrate anything to find out whether this works. Start the trial, set up the one thing you came here for, and judge it on that.

$0 charged today. A card holds the workspace; nothing moves until day 30.

Unlimited usage. Calls, texts, emails and contacts are uncapped on every plan.

Your providers, your rates. Bring your own Twilio, Mailgun and AI keys and pay them directly — we do not mark usage up.

No contract. Cancel before day 30 and you are never billed.

Your trial runs on Scale, the top plan, so nothing is locked while you evaluate. If courses & memberships is all you need afterwards, Grow at $77/mo carries it — switch down before the trial ends and keep the lower price.

The questions everyone asks.

How many courses can I run?

Three on Grow, unlimited on Scale. Member sites, access products and recurring billing are all included from Grow up, so the sales page, the checkout, the gated content and the subscription are the same $77-a-month plan.

Where does the money go?

Straight to your own connected Stripe account. You pay Stripe's processing fees and nothing on top — there is no revenue share and no per-transaction platform cut, on any plan.

How do students log in?

A secure email login link. No password to set, no password to reset, and no support ticket when they lose it. Page access is granted by one or more named access products, so a bundle and a single course can share the same content without duplicating it.

Can I see who is actually finishing?

Yes — enrollment and lesson-by-lesson progress sit on the student's contact record, next to their payments and every message you have exchanged. Completion fires an automation; so does the absence of it, because 'no progress in 14 days' is a segment you can text.

Are the certificates real?

They are publicly verifiable by lookup, issued on completion against the pass mark you set on the quiz. Useful for CE credits and professional programs; they are your certificates, under your brand.

Weighing it against something specific?
