Selling physical courses with e-learning

    Hello,

    We are currently looking into how we can sell physical First Responder and First Aid courses for example, with an e-learning that has to be finished before the physical course.

    Recently we installed Woocommerce and now we are looking into what could be the best way to set this up. Woocommerce is all new to us so we are still learning ??

    I have multiple questions about this.

    1. How do we make a working CSV-file to upload all of our products? I manually added a few products and exported this to CSV. However, when I add the rest of our products the file doesn’t seem to work anymore. I either get all the information in one column (as shown in the Woocommerce uploader where I have to link the columns), or all the products are uploaded but with no information at all.

    2. How do we correctly set up our products to be used in the way I described in the very first paragraph?

    3. Can we somehow link these products to a planning we already made (in a CSV-file) for the physical courses and make these show up in something like the Events Calendar? We also plan to let our assistant manage these courses from the frontend of our website with WP Project Manager.

    4. Do you know of a better way to set this up? I’d love to hear it!

    I hope someone can help us out/advise us with setting this all up correctly.

    Kind regards,

    Sammi?l Tewodros

    Hi @sammiel,

    Thanks for your questions!

    How do we make a working CSV-file to upload all of our products?

    To import products you can use the built-in Product CSV Importer and Exporter. It’s important that you follow the general guidelines and formatting: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Import-Schema.

    How do we correctly set up our products to be used in the way I described in the very first paragraph?

    You can set up the First Responder and First Aid courses as Simple Products. If you’re not shipping the products you can add the option “Virtual” which disables all shipping-related fields such as shipping dimensions. Check out our guide on adding and managind products here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-products/.

    Can we somehow link these products to a planning we already made (in a CSV-file) for the physical courses and make these show up in something like the Events Calendar? We also plan to let our assistant manage these courses from the frontend of our website with WP Project Manager.

    WooCommerce doesn’t have out of the box this feature but you can make use of plugins or extensions to add functionalities like a calendar for events or activities. Here are some that may work great for you:

    Do you know of a better way to set this up? I’d love to hear it!

    I’d suggest getting familiar with the WooCommerce getting started documentation here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/documentation/plugins/woocommerce/getting-started/. If you have questions we’ll be here to help!

    Cheers.
