Experience

LearnDash, Infusionsoft, and Zoom Integration

https://schooloflifemastery.com

I built an add-on for LearnDash, Infusionsoft, Zoom, and Uncanny Toolkit Pro for LearnDash to achieve the client's custom requirements. The requirements were that users be auto-enrolled in the LearnDash group and courses whenever a specified tag was assigned to the particular user on Infusionsoft. Furthermore, a customized user area for LearnDash group leaders was created, where they can manage the class schedule of the group based on InfusionSoft tags.

Additionally, integration of LearnDash groups and Zoom was created. Group members can have Zoom meetings within the website in their user area with a restriction of only LearnDash group members as participants. Once these Zoom meetings are ended, the recordings of these meetings will be uploaded to Vimeo and displayed on the website for the group members to revisit.

LifterLMS Discounted Subscription Renewals

https://elevatepaediatrics.com.au

The requirements were to provide a fixed discounted price to users who had LifterLMS subscriptions. To achieve this, I built a custom plugin that offers the administrators options to provide a discounted price, duration of the subscription, and other settings. An email is sent to users near their expiry date with a unique link to renew with options to customize the email content.

Upon clicking the link, the user would be redirected to the website’s checkout page with the same subscription for renewal but with discounted price and duration. To handle payments, an option was created to either use LifterLMS or WooCommerce checkout for a wide variety of payment methods.

RCPro Auto Upgrade Trial Membership

https://www.scienceforsport.com

I created a custom plugin for Restrict Content Pro in which the users would sign up for a paid trial membership plan on the website. This would be auto-upgraded to another specified membership plan and charged via Stripe or PayPal right upon the near expiry date. If users do not want to auto-upgrade, an email would be sent to them 24 hours before their membership expires with a unique link to cancel the auto-upgrade.
