01 / 06Access
Access deadlines for seasonal programs.
Wellness sells in seasons — a spring reset, a 30-day challenge, a summer mobility series. Set an access duration on the course and every new student gets the same number of days from the day they enrol; Alva Courses tracks each deadline and shows it on the member page. When the season is over, close it out by removing students from the member page or with Shopify Flow's Revoke course access action — your library stays curated, and next season is a clean new purchase.
Pair it with drip scheduling and a course can run as a guided cohort — everyone moving through the same sequence, one practice at a time, while the lessons release themselves.
02 / 06Player
A calm, branded player in your own store.
Students watch inside your Shopify customer account, not on someone else's platform. The course player is a quiet, distraction-free page with a sidebar lesson list, a progress bar and completion ticks — and it carries your store's theme, fonts and colours. No second login, no subdomain, no competing course catalogue in the margins. The practice stays on-brand from checkout to final lesson.
03 / 06Video
Host long classes without the 10-minute cap.
A 60-minute class is one file, not six. On the Unlimited Pro plan, Alva Video Hosting gives you 50 GB and removes Shopify's 1 GB / 10-minute-per-file limit — so full-length flows upload whole. Prefer to keep videos elsewhere? Embed YouTube, Vimeo or Loom inside any lesson and Alva Courses plays them in the same branded player.
04 / 06Drip
Drip a 30-day program day by day.
Release lessons a set number of days after each student enrols, so a 30-day program unlocks one practice per day from the moment someone joins. Schedule a lesson to publish on a fixed calendar date for a cohort launch, keep upcoming weeks as Draft until you film them, and require completion before the next lesson so students move through the sequence in order.
05 / 06Live + community
Blend live Zoom sessions with discussion.
Add a Zoom block to any lesson and a weekly live class sits right beside your on-demand library. Native per-lesson comments let students ask questions and share how a pose felt; you moderate, and an optional email notification tells you when someone posts. A program becomes a small community rather than a folder of videos.
06 / 06Certificates
Certificates & progress for teacher trainings.
For a teacher-training module or a multi-week challenge, Alva Courses awards a custom-designed completion certificate automatically; students can download it, and you can switch on an email that sends it as a PDF. The certificate template carries your studio's branding, and a per-course Members Overview shows you progress bars, completion rate and who has finished — so you know who to celebrate and who to nudge.
