Academix Sell Recorded Courses
Turn a Recording Into a Course That Sells Every Day, Not Just Once
Live teaching happens once and it's gone. A recorded course, structured properly and published to your storefront, keeps earning after you've moved on to the next batch. Here's how a folder of lecture videos becomes a course a stranger can find, buy and finish without you in the room.
Book a demo
A recorded lecture doesn't become sellable just because it's uploaded. In the institute panel, courses for public sale are built on their own Marketplace/Self-Learning screen, separate from classroom-batch courses. A course stays hidden from anyone outside the institute until you publish it; saving a draft never puts it in front of buyers.
Once published, the course gets its own page on the institute's storefront with a price and, if seats are capped, a seat count the checkout checks before letting anyone in. A buyer clicks Enroll, fills in their details and pays on a Razorpay payment page. Each purchase is recorded as an order and shows in the institute panel's Course Transactions and Registered Learners screens.
That's the difference between teaching a course and selling one. A live batch earns from whoever joined that cohort and then stops. A published recorded course keeps earning from whoever finds the page later, next month or next year, from a city the institute has never taught in.
Structure the Recording, Don't Just Upload It
A raw recording isn't a course, it's a file. Break it into subjects and lecture units in the course builder so a student can jump straight to week three instead of scrubbing through hour one. The builder itself is covered on the Course Creation & Management page.
Put It Behind a Storefront With Your Name on It
A finished course needs a place where a stranger can find it, see a price and pay. The course storefront carries your institute's name, logo and branding, with a page per course, Razorpay checkout and a student dashboard after purchase. The Course Storefront page covers the setup.
Price It However Fits the Course
Set a one-time price per course, add a discount for an early batch of buyers, and take payment through Razorpay (UPI, cards, net banking, wallets) so the sale and the access happen in the same step.
Give Students a Reason to Finish, Not Just Buy
A course that's paid for but never finished doesn't help your reputation. Quizzes inside lecture videos keep students engaged, and the institute can issue a certificate to students who complete the course.
How a Recording Becomes a Purchasable Course
Publish to the Marketplace, Not Just the Classroom
Build the course on the Marketplace/Self-Learning screen and switch on Publish when it's ready. Until then, buyers can't see it.
Set a Price, With Room for a Discount
Each course has its own price and an optional percentage discount, with the final price shown as you edit. Use the discount for an early batch of buyers or a seasonal offer.
A Buyer Lands on the Course's Own Page
Every published course gets a dedicated storefront page showing the price, with the original struck through if a discount applies. If the course has a seat cap, the enroll button respects it.
Checkout Runs Through Razorpay
Clicking Enroll leads to a checkout page for the buyer's details, then to a Razorpay payment page. Each purchase is a single course, with no cart.
Access Lands in a Dashboard, Not an Email
After payment the course appears in the buyer's dashboard under In Progress, with a Continue Learning button. My Transactions holds a PDF invoice for every purchase, and finished courses move to Completed.
Who Sells Recorded Courses Like This
Skill Training Institutes
A trade or software skill taught live to one batch can keep earning after that batch graduates. Publish the recording and let the next round of trainees buy in on their own schedule.
Corporate Training Providers
Onboarding or compliance content built for one cohort can be packaged as a priced course instead of re-run live for every new client.
Music & Dance Academies
A technique breakdown taught once in a studio can keep selling to students outside the class roster and outside the academy's own city.
How Can We Help You?
Razorpay. Buyers pay by UPI, card, net banking or wallet on a Razorpay payment page, and the order shows up in the institute panel. Stripe is used only to bill the institute's own The Academix subscription, not for student purchases.
The course appears in their dashboard under In Progress, with a button that opens the lectures, and the purchase shows in My Transactions with a downloadable PDF invoice.
No. Storefront purchases go through Razorpay checkout, and that is what creates the order and the buyer's access.
No. Each purchase is a single course, from Enroll through to payment. Buying a second course means going through checkout again on that course's page.
Yes, using the course's discount field. Set a percentage off for an early batch of buyers and turn it off when the offer ends.
Yes. Every purchase in a buyer's My Transactions tab has a Download button for a PDF invoice.
