If your WordPress site sells products, subscriptions, or memberships, there’s a good chance some of your customers are families. And where there are families, there are kids who might be browsing on a shared device. Most parents aren’t worried about their kids browsing your catalog or reading course materials. What they are worried about is (more…)
If you run a WooCommerce store, you’ve probably had a customer who doesn’t fit neatly into the “one person, one account” model.

If you’re running a LearnDash site for families, especially homeschool families, you’ve probably run into the same question: how do you let a parent buy one subscription and give each of their kids their own course progress?
