Native, not bridged
Courses, users, transactions, enrolments and access remain in the Moodle environment you already govern.
Complete capability reference
Every feature required to sell, fulfil, and operate a modern ecommerce business for training, eLearning courses, and digital products.
ModernCommerce covers the complete path from merchandising and checkout to verified payment, Moodle enrolment, recurring access, finance operations, customer service, analytics, and governance—inside one open-source Moodle plugin.
Source reviewedModernCommerce 2.1.61 August 2026 · Moodle 5.2 · PHP 8.3+

Payment, order, fulfilment, entitlement, enrolment and communication keep separate operational evidence.
Open and extensible
Inspect the source, run it on your infrastructure and extend validated Moodle services and events.
01
Catalogue, products and pricing
Turn existing Moodle learning into structured offers without duplicating course content.
Course products
Attach commerce records to existing Moodle courses; no course migration or duplicate learning record is required.
Bundles and programs
Package multiple courses as a value-led bundle or an outcome-led program while preserving the included Moodle courses as the access source.
Subscription plans

Flexible price records
Use regular, sale, tier and subscription-related prices with compare-at values, enabled states and optional start/end windows.
Inventory and seat limits
Leave normal courses unlimited or manage stock, reservations and capacity for limited cohorts and licence-based offers.
Catalogue organization
Organize discovery with categories, tags, attributes, product types, visibility, availability dates, language and skill level.
Course merchandising
Publish outcomes, duration, outline, badges, trust information, assessments and learner-facing course metadata without changing course internals.
Reviews and ratings
Collect buyer reviews, distinguish verified purchasers and give trusted staff moderation controls.
02
Storefront, content and discovery
Build a branded public store inside Moodle instead of operating a second CMS or WordPress site.
22 storefront widget types
Compose pages with slider, video hero, breadcrumb, featured and related products, catalogue, categories, trust badges, countdown, testimonials, instructors, newsletter, content, media stories, learning promise, belief, policy, FAQ, CTA, support, contact cards and footer widgets.
Visual edit mode
Add, configure, arrange and remove page-scoped widget instances from the storefront side panel.

Configurable buyer fields
Hide, request or require phone and billing-address fields according to invoicing, tax and support needs.

Inventory reservations
Protect limited offers during checkout and release stale reservations through cleanup workflows.

04
Payments, gateways and webhooks
Connect merchant accounts you own and retain the operational evidence behind each payment.
Four native gateways
Connect Stripe, PayPal, Paystack and Flutterwave using test or live credentials supplied by the merchant.
No ModernCommerce revenue share
Gateway settlement goes to the organization’s own merchant account; ModernCommerce does not take a percentage.
Hosted card capture
Sensitive card entry remains with the selected gateway rather than being stored by the Moodle plugin.
Signed webhook processing
Validate provider callbacks and webhooks before transitioning payment and order state.
Payment attempts and events
Keep gateway reference, amount, currency, result and event evidence separate from the order record.
Idempotent reconciliation
Handle duplicate returns and webhook deliveries without intentionally fulfilling the same purchase twice.
Gateway readiness checks
Expose missing credentials, incompatible currency, webhook state and other configuration blockers.
Payment and webhook ledgers
Give payment operators searchable evidence for investigation, reconciliation and support.

Durable order records
Snapshot items, totals, currency, addresses, adjustments and status history at purchase time.
Order administration
Search and inspect orders, customers, status, items, payment evidence and fulfilment from a unified operator workflow.
Invoices and receipts

Refund workflow
Record and control refunds while retaining their relationship to payment, order, access and audit history.
Customer records
Bring purchase history and operational customer context together without creating a separate customer identity system.
Status history

Automatic enrolment
Grant Moodle course access when the payment and order reach the valid fulfilment boundary.

13
Open-source platform and extension points
Operate, inspect and extend the commerce layer as part of the Moodle ecosystem.
GPL-3.0-or-later
Use, inspect, modify and redistribute the plugin under its open-source licence.
Moodle-native architecture
Run commerce in the Moodle application, database, user, enrolment, role, messaging and cron environment.
156 declared services
Power the shipped AJAX applications through validated, capability-checked external functions; these are not presented as an unauthenticated public REST API.
Domain events
Observe order and subscription lifecycle events instead of bypassing business rules with direct table writes.
17 scheduled workflows
Run notification, recovery, cleanup, reporting, key and subscription lifecycle work through Moodle cron.
Optional add-on contract
Keep add-on data and business rules independent while ModernCommerce provides gated navigation and React administration surfaces.
CLI maintenance tools
Seed defaults and demo data, refresh roles, inspect bundles, test email and package releases.
Source-backed documentation
Use database, capability, service, task and page references reviewed against the installed source.
Important operating boundaries
A serious feature reference also explains what the product does not hide.
These boundaries matter when evaluating production fit and total operating responsibility.
One active store currency
ModernCommerce supports 21 currencies, but each store operates one active currency at a time; it is not simultaneous multi-currency.
Your gateway accounts
Stripe, PayPal, Paystack and Flutterwave require merchant accounts and credentials owned by your organization.
Cron is operational infrastructure
Renewals, expiry, notifications, recovery, cleanup and report snapshots require Moodle cron every minute in production.
Open source still needs ownership
GPL access removes platform lock-in; it does not replace secure hosting, backups, monitoring, upgrades, testing and accountable staff.
Evaluate the complete system
Trace a real sale from catalogue to course access.
Use the demo for product evidence and the technical reference for configuration, permissions, routes, data and operational boundaries.
