Sell online courses with subscription access
Drip modules over weeks, gate lessons by tier, and let students manage their own plans — ArraySubs handles billing and access without a heavy LMS.
- Drip modules over time
- Tiered lesson access
- Student self-service portal
Subscription-based courses need three things a plain cart can't give you: scheduled content release, tiered access, and a student portal for lifetime management. ArraySubs supplies the billing and access layer so you don't need a heavy LMS for a straightforward course. Drip modules by days-since-enrollment so learners can't binge ahead, build Free, Basic, and Premium tiers as variable subscriptions, gate advanced lessons by plan, let students upgrade or downgrade themselves, and use retention offers to save students who try to cancel mid-course. Pair it with your page builder's lesson layouts and you have a complete course membership.

How it works
How ArraySubs powers Online Courses
The challenges this business model hits — and how ArraySubs solves each one.
You release modules over time but can't enforce it.
Content dripping schedules lessons by days-since-purchase or fixed dates, pacing your curriculum without code.
Free and paid tiers need different access.
Variable subscriptions create Free, Basic, and Premium tiers; Member Access Control unlocks advanced modules by plan.
Students want to upgrade mid-course.
Plan switching upgrades with automatic proration, or downgrades to keep them enrolled.
Payment failures drop students without warning.
A grace period keeps access active while retrying; Pro can auto-downgrade to a free tier instead of cancelling.
You don't know which content retains students.
Analytics show trial conversion, churn, and cohort drop-off so you can improve pacing.
You want a free intro that converts to paid.
Offer a free tier or trial that unlocks the first module, then gate the rest behind a paid plan with one-click upgrade.
