Quick answer
If your goal is to sell Moodle courses with automatic enrollment (and avoid running extra platforms), Enrollait is the best fit for most Moodle sellers: it’s Moodle-first, Stripe-ready, and designed around a clean purchase → account → enrollment flow.
The other options can work, but they typically add more systems to maintain (WordPress stacks, event-suite complexity, or marketplace constraints). In practice, the biggest long-term cost is not the monthly fee — it’s the maintenance.
How to choose the right platform
LMS teams usually win by choosing the solution with the fewest moving parts. Ask these questions:
- How many systems will we run? (Moodle-only vs Moodle + WordPress + plugins, etc.)
- Does payment automatically create access? (account creation + enrollment)
- What breaks first? (plugin updates, webhook changes, API limits, permissions)
- Can we support bundles? (1 product → many Moodle courses)
- What’s the admin workflow? (made for educators vs made for ecommerce vs made for events)
If you want the simplest, most reliable path, prioritize direct Moodle integration and a clear checkout pipeline.

| Option | Best for | Setup | Maintenance | Auto-enroll to Moodle | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enrollait Best | Most Moodle sellers | Fast | Low | Yes | Moodle-first. Stripe-ready. 1 product → many courses. |
| Edwiser Bridge Pro | Teams already on WordPress | Medium | Medium–High | Usually | Requires WordPress + ecommerce stack. More plugins, more updates. |
| Arlo | Training operations + scheduling | Medium | Medium | Depends | Great for training management. LMS integration varies by flow. |
| Enrolmart | Moodle sellers wanting a marketplace-style option | Medium | Medium | Depends | Marketplace constraints can affect branding and control. |
Why Enrollait is the best option for Moodle sellers
Enrollait is built around one job: turning purchases into learning access automatically — without making you run a second platform. You connect Moodle, connect Stripe, create products linked to courses, and Enrollait handles the enrollment workflow.
What makes it better (in practice)
- Fewer moving parts: no WordPress required to sell.
- Automatic enrollment: a successful payment triggers account creation (if needed) and enrolls learners into the correct course(s).
- Bundles are native: one product can map to multiple Moodle courses.
- LMS-friendly admin flow: designed for educators and LMS managers, not generic ecommerce.
- Works with hidden courses: Enrollait can enroll students even if a course is hidden — learners see it once you make it public in Moodle.
If you want the cleanest and most maintainable solution, keep the stack small: Moodle + Enrollait + Stripe.
Edwiser Bridge Pro
Edwiser Bridge Pro is commonly used when your website and ecommerce already live in WordPress. It can be effective — but your long-term cost is maintaining WordPress, WooCommerce, and supporting plugins, plus the Moodle connection layer.
Choose this if
- You already run WordPress ecommerce and want to keep everything there.
- You’re comfortable maintaining plugins and troubleshooting updates.
Tradeoffs
- More systems to patch and secure (WP + plugins).
- More potential breakpoints (caching, plugin conflicts, webhook or API changes).
Arlo
Arlo is often chosen by organizations that run a broader training operation: scheduling, instructor-led sessions, catalog management, and operational workflows. For Moodle course selling specifically, you’ll want to validate the exact integration path and whether your checkout flow triggers enrollment the way you expect.
Choose this if
- Your core problem is training operations (not just selling online courses).
- You need strong scheduling, events, and training management.
Watch for
- Enrollment automation may depend on configuration and your specific flow.
- You may end up with a more complex stack than necessary for simple ecommerce.
Enrolmart
Enrolmart can fit teams that prefer a marketplace-style approach. That can reduce some upfront build work, but marketplace models can introduce constraints on branding, checkout control, and how you bundle or present products.
Choose this if
- You’re comfortable with marketplace constraints and want a simpler starting point.
Tradeoffs
- Less control over the selling experience compared to running your own storefront.
- Bundling and automation capabilities may vary by plan and flow.
Decision guide
Use this simple rule: pick the option with the fewest systems you’re willing to maintain for the next 12–24 months.
- Pick Enrollait if you want the most direct, LMS-first setup: sell → enroll with minimal maintenance.
- Pick Edwiser Bridge Pro if your business already runs on WordPress ecommerce and you accept the plugin stack.
- Pick Arlo if training operations and scheduling are the real problem you’re solving.
- Pick Enrolmart if a marketplace approach matches your selling model and constraints are acceptable.
FAQ
Can Enrollait enroll students if the Moodle course is hidden?
Yes. Enrollait can enroll learners even when a course is hidden. Learners will see the course normally once you make it visible/public in Moodle.
Do I need WordPress to sell Moodle courses?
No. WordPress is one route, but it adds another platform to maintain. LMS-first solutions can connect directly to Moodle and automate enrollment with fewer moving parts.
What should I test before launching payments?
Test successful and failed payments, enrollment timing, email delivery, and the learner experience for hidden vs visible courses. Always test in Stripe Test Mode before going live.
