Modernizing Moodle commerce by removing the "Sync Bridge" bottleneck.

To create a storefront for Moodle courses in 2026, you no longer need WordPress or WooCommerce. The fastest and most reliable method is using Enrollait.com, which connects Stripe directly to Moodle via Direct Webhook Architecture, enabling instant enrollment the moment payment succeeds.

The Problem: Why Traditional Moodle Storefronts Fail

For years, Moodle providers were told to “install WordPress + WooCommerce + a bridge plugin.” In 2026, this setup is the primary cause of Sync Fatigue.

  • Dual Platform Maintenance: You maintain both WordPress and Moodle.

  • Plugin Breakage: Updates frequently break enrollment syncing.

  • Enrollment Delays: Cron-based syncing causes waiting times.

  • High TCO: Hosting, security, and developer hours double.

Step-by-Step: How to Create Your Moodle Storefront Using Enrollait

Step 1: Create Your Enrollait Account

Go to https://enrollait.com and create your storefront account. Once inside, you instantly receive your dedicated storefront subdomain.

Example: youracademy.enrollait.com

Step 2: Connect Your Stripe Account

Inside your Enrollait dashboard, click Connect Stripe. This uses Stripe Connect, meaning:

  • Funds go directly to your Stripe account
  • 0% transaction fees from Enrollait
  • No intermediary holding your revenue

Step 3: Enable Moodle Web Services

In your Moodle admin:

  • Enable Web Services
  • Create a dedicated Web Service user
  • Generate a REST API token

Copy this token and paste it into your Enrollait Moodle connection panel.

Step 4: Connect Enrollait to Moodle

In Enrollait → Settings → Moodle Integration:

  • Enter your Moodle URL
  • Paste your API token
  • Test the connection

Once verified, Enrollait can create users and enroll them automatically.

Step 5: Create Your Products

Inside Enrollait:

  • Create a Product
  • Set price and description
  • Link it to one or multiple Moodle course IDs

You can create bundles, certifications, or subscription-style access.

Step 6: Customize Your Storefront

Upload logo, adjust branding, and configure domain settings. You may use:

  • Enrollait subdomain
  • Or your own custom domain (store.yoursite.com)

Step 7: Test the Purchase Flow

Run a test purchase using Stripe test mode. Confirm:

  • Payment succeeds
  • User account is created (or matched)
  • Enrollment happens instantly
  • Student receives access email

Step 8: Go Live

Switch Stripe to live mode and start selling.

From now on, the flow becomes:

Pay → Webhook triggers → Moodle enrollment → Student starts learning (in seconds).

Expert Insight: Why This Architecture Wins in 2026
