By default, when you bundle a Community and Course, the course becomes the main product and the community is included as a benefit.

However, if you want the community to be the main paid product and the course to be an exclusive benefit for community members, you can do this by linking the course inside the community instead of bundling it.

This approach keeps your community as the front-end product while giving members private access to the course once they join.

🧩 How This Setup Works

In this structure:

Community = Main paid product
Course = Exclusive member benefit

Only members who join your community will see and access the course link.

This allows you to keep everything organized inside the community space while offering structured learning through the course.

🛠️ How to Set It Up

Step 1 — Create Your Course

Go to Products → New Product → Course
Add your chapters and lessons
Set the course price to Free
Unpublish the course so it doesn’t appear publicly on your hub

This ensures the course cannot be purchased separately and will only be accessed through your community.

Step 2 — Copy the Course Link

Once your course is ready:

Go to the course product
Copy the sales page link

Even if the course is unpublished, people with the link can access it.

Step 3 — Add the Course Inside Your Community

Now place the course inside your community for members to access.

Open your Community product
Create a category or resource section for courses
Create a post with the course link
Add instructions for members to access the course
Include this community post in the dedicated community category we've just created
Pin the post if you want it easily visible

Only community members will be able to see this post and access the course.

👥 Who Might Need This Setup

This structure works best for creators who:

Want to include courses as exclusive community benefits
Want members to pay recurring for course access instead of the default one-time course payment
Run membership-style learning programs
Offer ongoing training inside a community environment

Since the community handles the payment, you can charge members monthly or yearly while giving them access to the course.
