How can we help you?

Set up community for courses

With the Digibiz24 community feature, you can create and manage your own communities. Communities offer numerous benefits for you, your business and your members.

A community for courses is the right choice if you want to use your community in addition to a course.

Tip: You want to offer your community as a separate product? Set up a standalone community.

In this article, you will learn how to set up a community in addition to a course in 3 steps:

  1. Create community
  2. Edit community settings
  3. Publish community

Add members to the community

Members who have already booked the linked course automatically receive access to the community.

For new purchases, there are two options to add members:

  • Automatically via Digistore24
    When someone purchases the linked course through Digistore24, they automatically get access to the community (see Delivering a course).
  • Add member manually
    If someone purchases the linked course outside of Digistore24, you can manually add them to the community by importing them into the linked course (see Importing members).

    This option is also suitable for moving an existing community to Digibiz24.
