LMS : API Settings

WPLMS 3.0 uses OAuth 2.0 Server for authentication and user management. Though we’re not using all the features of the oAuth server, it is a very secure tool for managing site user login and registrations.

Following points will highlight the benefits of this feature :

1. Facilitate Secure Mobile App Authentication : Since mobile app access login data remotely without actually logging in to your WPLMS site, this feature was required for user authentication and management.
2. Authentication via Tokens : Once a user is verified , the oAuth server generates a secure Authorization token which is accompanied and verified in every API call which is trying to access and modify confidential data. Then tokens expire and can be removed from WPLMS API panel, so it presents a secure way of communication between apps and your web site.
3. Site Identity : Every site can be easily distinguished with another via state factor which is uniquely added to every site.
4. Built for WPLMS Mobile apps : Since the API and APP development happened side by side for WPLMS, we have added special features to enable better communication and management of users connected via apps with your WPLMS site.

Selling Courses with WooCommerce

WPLMS allows only Administrators to create new products. Each product can be connected to many courses and sold as an individual product or a subscription product.

1. Creating Products : To create a product simply Login as Administrator in WPLMS site. Follow below instructions to create a new product :
   • In WordPress Admin click on Products -> Add New
   • Add a title to the Product and add some description to the product
   • You'll notice a Product Course settings meta box, add the desired courses in the metabox
   • If you want the Pricing to be considered as a subscription, enable subscription.
   • If subscription is enabled then add the subscription days.
   • In Product data : General : Mark the product as Virtual and Downloadable.
   • In Product Data : Inverntory : Select Sold individually.
   • In Product Data : Advanced : Disable Reviews. As this could be confusing for the user.
   • Add Product featured image and some gallery images.

2. Connecting Courses :
   • Once the product is published, you can connect the product back to the course.
   • A course can be connected to a single product, while a product can be connected to many products.
   • The connected product is shown when the user clicks on Take this course button in single course screen.
3. Managing Orders :
   • Once a student has placed an order, the access to the course in not given untill the order has been marked as complete.
   • If the student uses Paypal as payment mode then the order is marked complete when user migrates from the thank you page. So, Paypal as payment mode works as expected which we have tested on the Demo site as well. However, same is not valid for other Payment modes.
   • For Payment Modes like Bank Transfer, Cheque the Administrator has to Manually Approve orders in WP Admin -> WooCommerce -> Orders Section
   • To Approve an order Administrator clicks on the Tick in front of the order to mark the order complete. Once the order is marked complete only then the Student gets access to the course.
