Add a courses page to your theme

Alva Courses delivers every course inside Shopify, so surfacing it in your theme is just a matter of links. Group your course products into a collection, add a Courses menu item, and point existing learners to the My Courses area in their customer account.

How it works

Alva Courses does not add its own storefront page — courses are sold through ordinary Shopify products and watched in the customer account. To surface them, you link your theme to two places: a collection of your course products for shoppers, and the My Courses area for people who have already enrolled.

Surface steps

1. Decide what to surface

Choose what your theme should link to: the Shopify products that sell your courses, so new shoppers can browse and buy, and the customer-account My Courses area where existing learners watch them.

2. Group your course products

In the Shopify admin, open Products → Collections and create a collection that holds the products linked to your courses. This gives shoppers a single page where every course is on sale.

3. Add a navigation link

In Online Store → Navigation, open your main menu, click Add menu item, name it Courses, and point it at the collection. Save the menu so the link appears in your theme header.

4. Point learners to My Courses

Add a second link to the customer account so existing learners reach My Courses, where Alva Courses lists every course they own and opens the storefront course player.

5. Preview and publish

Open your storefront, confirm the Courses link appears and the collection loads, then publish the theme so customers see it live.

What learners see

Shoppers click the Courses link and browse your collection like any other product page, then buy through the normal Shopify checkout. After purchase, the course appears under My Courses in their account, and they open it in the branded storefront course player with a lesson sidebar, progress bar and completion ticks.
