For course businesses on LearnDash

Your course business runs on a stack of plugins. One of them just lost its vendor.

StellarWP — LearnDash’s parent — dissolved in April 2026. Security patches are committed only until April 2027. If your revenue runs through LearnDash, you have a date to plan around.

Merve replaces the whole stack — courses, enrolment, payments, reporting — on one platform, with one bill, and nobody’s roadmap to worry about but ours.

The stack tax

It worked because you made it work.

LearnDash was a solid choice — flexible, affordable, yours. But every capability came from another vendor: a cart here, a membership plugin there, an add-on just to report completions. Every update is a compatibility question, and it all sits on one person’s shoulders. You shouldn’t need five vendors and a staging site to sell a course.

Courses, enrolment, payments and reporting — native, not bolted on
One flat price from £49/mo — not six renewals on six dates
No compatibility matrix, no staging-site anxiety, no update roulette
Full API and webhooks — keep the integrations you actually want
WordPress + 6 vendors

Tree of Knowledge made this exact move.

They were on LearnDash. It was clunky, slow, and couldn’t give them real reporting, fast payment or any meaningful automation — so they moved to Merve. What we built for them, Treehouse, goes further than most: a bespoke platform running on the same core engine every Merve customer runs on.
