Alva Courses for business & marketing trainers

Business and marketing trainers on Shopify want to sell professional training programs with quizzes, certificates and team enrolment via CSV import — not stitch together a video host, a quiz tool and a spreadsheet. Alva Courses is a Shopify app that builds that program inside your store: assessments inside lessons, an automatic completion certificate on finish, a whole company cohort enrolled from one CSV, and progress you can export for the client — all on your existing Shopify checkout, with no second platform.

How a business trainer's Shopify + Alva Courses program runs.

08:30 · BUILD

Build the curriculum into modules.

Open the course builder in the Shopify admin. Your "B2B Marketing Foundations" program becomes sections; each topic becomes a lesson with a workshop video, a slide deck and a knowledge-check quiz. Turn on "Require completion before next lesson" so trainees can't skip the assessment.

09:15 · PACKAGE

Sell individual seats and team licences.

Create two Shopify products: a single seat at $249 and a 10-seat team licence at $1,900, both pointing at the same course. Edit the certificate template so it carries your training brand. Individuals self-enrol at checkout; teams buy a licence and you enrol the staff list next.

11:40 · ENROL

A company buys for 40 staff. CSV import enrols them all.

The L&D manager pays for the team licence and emails you a spreadsheet of staff. You upload it in the Members view — bulk import via CSV enrols all 40 in one step. Each trainee gets a branded enrolment email from training@yourcompany.com and finds the course in their Shopify customer account.

16:50 · REPORT

Export completion data for the client.

The client asks who has finished. You open the Members Overview, see the completion rate and per-trainee progress bars, then export the roster as CSV. Everyone who completed already has their certificate in their inbox. No separate LMS, no manual chasing — the proof of training is one click away.

What trainers actually use

Alva Courses, re-angled for a professional training business.

01 / 06Assessments

Quizzes that turn watching into learning.

A professional training program needs proof that knowledge landed, not just that a video played. Build a quiz directly inside any lesson to check understanding as trainees move through the module. Pair it with sequential gating — "Require completion before next lesson" — so a trainee can't jump ahead until they have passed the checkpoint.

That structure is what separates a real certification path from a folder of recordings, and it is exactly what corporate buyers and compliance programs expect before they commission training.

02 / 06Credential

Completion certificates trainees show off.

When a trainee completes the program, Alva Courses automatically awards a custom-designed completion certificate and emails it to them. The template is fully editable, so it carries your training brand, logo and signature. For marketing and business trainers that certificate is a credential — graduates post it on LinkedIn, their network sees your program, and every cohort becomes a referral channel.

03 / 06Team enrolment

Enrol a whole company from one CSV.

When a business buys training for its staff you don't want to add 40 people by hand. Bulk member import via CSV enrols an entire cohort in a single step — upload the spreadsheet of names and emails and everyone is in. Add members manually for late joiners, export the roster as CSV for the client's records, and search or filter members across every course you run.

04 / 06Reporting

Progress & completion the client can see.

Every course has a Members Overview showing total members, active enrolments, completed count and overall completion rate, with a progress bar and status for each trainee. A global Members view spans all your programs. When a corporate client asks who finished the mandatory training, you export the roster as CSV with completion data — no separate LMS or reporting tool to bolt on.

05 / 06Pace & video

Drip the cohort and host long workshops.

Drip scheduling releases a module a set number of days after enrolment, so a multi-week training keeps pace with live sessions; schedule lessons to publish on fixed dates for a fixed-start cohort, or keep future modules as Draft. On the Unlimited Pro plan, Alva Video Hosting gives 50 GB with no per-video size or length limit — full workshop recordings stream straight from the storefront course player.

06 / 06In your store

Native delivery, branded email, discussions.

Trainees access courses in their Shopify customer account and play lessons in a branded storefront course player with a sidebar lesson list, progress bar and completion ticks — no second login. Enrolment and certificate emails send from your own custom domain, and a per-lesson discussion thread lets trainees ask questions where the content lives, with moderation and an email ping when someone posts.

The Members view — bulk-import a whole team by CSV, track progress, and export the roster for the client.
Pricing, trainer-sized

Which plan does a training business need?

Alva Courses has two paid plans, each with a 14-day free trial and no per-course or per-member caps. For most trainers the question isn't headcount — it's whether your workshop videos exceed Shopify's native file limits. Both plans give you unlimited courses, unlimited members, quizzes, certificates, CSV team enrolment, progress tracking and branded email.

PLANPRICEFITS
Unlimited$9.99/moA trainer whose lessons use slides, PDFs, quizzes and shorter clips that fit Shopify's hosted-video limits (1 GB / 10 min per video). Unlimited courses, members and comments, progress tracking, custom certificates, limited-time access.
Unlimited Pro$14.99/moA trainer delivering full-length workshop recordings. Everything in Unlimited plus Alva Video Hosting — 50 GB with no per-video size or length limits, so long sessions stream from the course player.

Both plans include quizzes, automatic completion certificates, bulk CSV team enrolment and export, drip scheduling, the branded course player and a custom email domain. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.

Setup path

From curriculum to enrolled cohort in four steps.

Whether you teach marketing, leadership, sales or compliance, the move onto Shopify with Alva Courses looks the same: build the program, package it for individuals and teams, enrol the cohort, then report on completion.

  1. 01

    Build the program with quizzes.

    In the course builder, map your curriculum to sections and lessons. Add a workshop video, slides or a PDF to each lesson, then drop a quiz in to check understanding. Turn on "Require completion before next lesson" so the assessment path is sequential.

  2. 02

    Set up the certificate and the offers.

    Edit the completion certificate template to carry your brand. Create a Shopify product for individual seats and another for a team licence, both bound to the same course. Set Limited-time access if a cohort should close after a window.

  3. 03

    Enrol the team via CSV import.

    Individuals self-enrol at checkout. For a corporate purchase, take the client's staff list, format it as a CSV of names and emails, and bulk-import it in the Members view — the whole cohort is enrolled at once and each person gets a branded enrolment email.

  4. 04

    Track progress and report completion.

    Watch the completion rate and per-trainee progress bars in the Members Overview. Certificates fire automatically on completion. When the client wants proof of training, export the roster as CSV — the whole loop lives in Shopify, no external LMS.

FAQ for trainers

Questions trainers actually ask.

Yes. Alva Courses lets you build a quiz directly inside any lesson to test knowledge as trainees move through the program. Combine a quiz with sequential gating — turn on "Require completion before next lesson" — so a module only unlocks once the previous one is finished. That turns a course into a structured assessment path rather than a pile of videos, which is exactly what a professional certification or compliance program needs.
Yes. When a trainee completes a course, Alva Courses automatically awards a custom-designed completion certificate and emails it to them. The certificate template is fully editable, so you can carry your training brand, logo and signature. For business and marketing trainers, that certificate is a credential trainees share on LinkedIn — turning every graduate into a referral channel for your program.
Yes. When a company buys training for its staff, you don't want to add 40 people one at a time. Alva Courses supports bulk member import via CSV — upload a spreadsheet of names and emails and the whole cohort is enrolled in one step. You can also add members manually, export the roster as CSV for reporting, and search or filter members across every course.
Each course has a Members Overview showing total members, active enrolments, completed count and overall completion rate, with a progress bar and status for every trainee. A global Members view spans all your courses. When a corporate client asks who finished the onboarding training, you export the roster as CSV with completion data — no separate LMS or reporting tool required.
Yes. Create one Shopify product for individual seats and a second for a team licence at a higher price, both pointing at the same course. Individuals self-enrol at checkout; for a team purchase you bulk-enrol the staff list via CSV import. Everything runs through your existing Shopify checkout and customer accounts, so there is no second platform, no separate login and no transaction fees on a third-party LMS.
Yes, on the Unlimited Pro plan. Shopify's native file hosting caps videos at roughly 1 GB and 10 minutes each, which is tight for full workshop recordings. Alva Video Hosting on Pro gives you 50 GB of dedicated storage with no per-video size or length limit, so long-form training sessions stream from the storefront course player. The Unlimited plan at $9.99/mo uses Shopify-hosted video within those caps; Pro is $14.99/mo.
