The problem
Shopify sells the courses, but a 28-day cohort program needs things Shopify doesn’t do: limited spots, a lesson a day, daily check-ins and a community, on top of a store whose content had to stay easy to update.
Key decisions
- 01
The 28-day program is its own app. Paying goes through Stripe Checkout, and the Stripe webhook is the only thing that creates the account and the paid order, so a payment and an enrollment can never disagree.
- 02
The cohort is capped at 100 seats: checkout refuses once it’s full, and a public, cached endpoint feeds the live spots counter on the landing page.
- 03
Each day’s lesson unlocks at the participant’s own local midnight instead of one global time, and the store’s ~50 hand-built podcast pages became 79 structured entries published by a scripted Shopify API import.
Outcome
Built solo: the Shopify theme work and the full program app, from enrollment and daily check-ins to the admin that runs each cohort.
