Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash is a powerful sales and engagement plugin designed to help eLearning site owners increase course enrollments and average order value. Inspired by eCommerce upsell strategies, this plugin allows you to display a curated list of related courses—or even WooCommerce/EDD products—on the course page that learners can add to their cart with a single click. Whether you're offering individual courses, course bundles, or related learning materials like downloadable PDFs or merchandise, the FBT widget makes it easier for students to discover and purchase additional content that complements their learning path. Key Benefits: Recommend related courses and products automatically or manually. One-click “Add All to Cart” for seamless user experience. Support for both WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads. Optional discounts (fixed or percentage-based) on bundles. Customizable widget display including ratings, authors, tags, and more. This plugin is ideal for course creators, academies, and membership sites using LearnDash who want to maximize course visibility, drive more sales, and offer smarter recommendations to their learners.

Can I offer discounts for bundled courses with this plugin? Yes, the Frequently Bought Together for LearnDash plugin gives you full control over offering discounts on bundled courses and products, helping you create compelling offers that drive higher conversions. You can choose between two types of discount structures: Fixed Discount: Apply a flat amount off the total bundle price. Percentage Discount: Apply a percentage-based discount for a more scalable approach. Additionally, the plugin provides advanced control with the option to: Apply discounts even if only a subset (minimum of 2) courses from the bundle are purchased (available for percentage discounts). Exclude customers who are already enrolled in one or more of the bundled courses from receiving the discount (especially for fixed discounts). Example Use Cases: Offer 20% off when students buy 3 or more courses together. Give a $50 flat discount on a 3-course certification bundle. Allow the discount to still apply even if a student has already completed one course in the bundle. This feature not only incentivizes bulk purchases but also simplifies marketing for promotions, holiday bundles, or tiered learning paths. For a detailed overview of this feature, please refer to the article on Setting Discounts.

Where can I display the Frequently Bought Together (FBT) widget on my LearnDash course page? The Frequently Bought Together (FBT) widget offers flexible placement options, giving you full control over where and how it appears on your site. By default, it displays just below the course description on the LearnDash course page, offering a seamless upsell opportunity as learners explore course details. For more customization, you can use a shortcode to manually place the widget anywhere on the course page—ideal for custom layouts or page builder integrations like Elementor or Gutenberg. Additionally, when the setting is enabled, the FBT widget can also be shown on WooCommerce product pages or EDD download pages, making it possible to promote related courses or products directly from your storefront. This flexibility ensures the widget blends naturally with your site’s design and appears exactly where it's most effective for encouraging bundled purchases.

Yes, the Frequently Bought Together plugin is fully compatible with both WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads (EDD). Depending on which platform you're using to sell your LearnDash courses, the plugin will automatically adapt and allow you to: Display FBT widgets on WooCommerce product pages if WooCommerce is enabled. Display FBT widgets on EDD download pages if EDD is in use. This dual integration makes the plugin versatile and suitable for a wide range of LearnDash-based eLearning businesses.

No, this plugin requires either WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) to function. Since the FBT system relies on product-based purchasing to bundle items, apply discounts, and track orders, it cannot operate with LearnDash’s default payment setup. LearnDash’s built-in payment options don’t support bundled product structures or advanced pricing rules, which are essential for Frequently Bought Together features. To use this plugin, you’ll need to integrate LearnDash with WooCommerce or EDD—both offering: A complete checkout system Flexible discount and pricing controls Support for selling multiple courses or products together Once connected, the plugin can fully manage bundles, discounts, and recommendations as intended.
