3 Top WordPress Moodle Integration Plugins Compared
If you run Moodle™ for course delivery and WordPress for your website, you need a bridge between the two so you can sell courses through WooCommerce and enroll students automatically. Three plugins dominate this space: Edwiser Bridge, MooWoodle, and CourseTransit. This guide compares all three, focusing on what each free version offers and how each one is priced.
Why You Need a WordPress Moodle Integration Plugin
Moodle is one of the most powerful open-source learning management systems in the world, but it was built for delivering courses, not selling them. Its native storefront options are limited, and manually creating accounts and enrolling every student quickly becomes unmanageable as your course business grows. WordPress, paired with WooCommerce, solves the selling side beautifully, with flexible payment gateways, coupons, and a familiar checkout that customers trust.
A WordPress Moodle integration plugin connects these two systems so they work as one. When a customer buys a course on your WordPress site, the plugin automatically creates their Moodle account and enrolls them in the right course, the moment the order is complete. There are no spreadsheets, no manual enrollment, and no support tickets asking why someone can’t access what they paid for. You keep WordPress as your marketing and sales engine, and Moodle as your trusted classroom, with a reliable bridge running quietly in between.
The challenge is choosing the right plugin. Each of the three leading options, Edwiser Bridge, MooWoodle, and CourseTransit, takes a slightly different approach to features, ease of setup, and pricing. Below, we break down exactly what each one includes so you can match the plugin to your budget and your workflow.
Edwiser Bridge
The oldest and most established option, with a large install base and a wide catalog of paid extensions. Free version connects WordPress and Moodle™ and sells through PayPal only. WooCommerce, SSO, and most selling features are paid add-ons.
MooWoodle
A well-known bridge by DualCube with a solid free tier that includes WooCommerce selling out of the box. Advanced sync, SSO, and user-sync features are reserved for the Pro version.
CourseTransit
The newest of the three, built for a clean setup experience and a generous free tier. Includes WooCommerce selling, automatic enrollment, email templates, and instructor management for free, with a simple one-time Pro upgrade.
What to Look for in a Moodle WordPress Plugin
Before comparing specific plugins, it helps to know which capabilities actually matter when you sell Moodle courses through WordPress. A few things separate a plugin you’ll outgrow quickly from one that scales with your business:
- WooCommerce selling in the free tier. WooCommerce gives you access to hundreds of payment gateways, coupons, and extensions. If it’s locked behind a paywall, your free plugin can only take you so far.
- Automatic enrollment and account creation. The whole point of an integration is removing manual work. Students should be enrolled the instant an order completes.
- Course synchronization. Your Moodle courses should sync into WordPress as products, including titles, descriptions, categories, and images, without duplicate data entry.
- Ease of setup. Connecting two platforms securely can be fiddly. A guided setup wizard and a built-in connection tester save hours of troubleshooting.
- Transparent pricing. Some plugins advertise a low entry price but charge extra for essentials as separate add-ons. Look at the total cost of the features you actually need.
With those priorities in mind, here’s how the three plugins compare on their free tiers.

Included Partial / add-on Not in free
The big free-tier difference: Edwiser Bridge’s free version only sells through PayPal, with WooCommerce as a paid extension. MooWoodle and CourseTransit both include WooCommerce selling for free. CourseTransit adds instructor management and a guided setup wizard that the other two reserve or don’t offer, which makes it the most complete free tier of the three for a typical WooCommerce-based course store.
How Each One Charges For Pro Version
Feature lists matter less if the pricing model doesn’t fit your budget. This is where the three diverge the most.
Edwiser Bridge Pro
Per year, single site
Billed annually. The Pro plugin covers the core selling features, but some capabilities like WooCommerce Integration and Single Sign-On have historically been sold as separate paid extensions, so the real total can climb higher depending on what you need.
MooWoodle Pro
Per year, single site
A single-site Pro license billed annually, with higher tiers for 3 sites ($349/yr) and 10 sites ($499/yr). The subscription repeats every year you want continued updates and support.
CourseTransit Pro
Introductory price
The entire Pro tier in a single license, with 1 year of developer support included and no per-feature add-ons to stack. One predictable price, roughly a third of what the others charge.
Lowest Cost
The pricing takeaway: Both Edwiser Bridge Pro ($179/year) and MooWoodle Pro ($199/year) sit well above the $100 mark, and Edwiser often needs extra paid extensions on top. CourseTransit Pro starts at $69 with support included and no add-ons to stack, making it the most affordable way to get a full paid Moodle-WooCommerce integration.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose Edwiser Bridge if…
You want the most mature product with the largest install base and widest feature catalog, and you don’t mind assembling and paying for extensions to get exactly what you need. Best for larger operations that value a long track record.
Choose MooWoodle if…
You want free WooCommerce selling plus advanced Pro options like gifting, cohorts, and real-time user sync, and you’re comfortable with an annual subscription. A strong middle-ground option with a broad Pro feature set.
Choose CourseTransit if…
You want the most complete free tier, the fastest setup, a clean modern interface, and the lowest price with support included. Best for creators and teams who want to start selling quickly with predictable costs.
A fair note: Edwiser Bridge and MooWoodle are both mature, widely-used products with years of development and large user bases, and they carry deep enterprise features that a newer plugin is still building toward. CourseTransit‘s advantage is a more generous free tier, a cleaner setup experience, and the lowest price. The right choice depends on whether you value a long track record and deep feature depth, or a fast, affordable, easy start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell Moodle™ courses on WordPress for free?
Yes. Both MooWoodle and CourseTransit include WooCommerce selling in their free versions, so you can list Moodle™ courses as products and enroll students automatically without paying anything. Edwiser Bridge’s free version sells through PayPal only; WooCommerce support is a paid extension.
Do these plugins work with any Moodle™ site?
All three connect to Moodle™ through its official web services API. You’ll need administrator access to both platforms and web services enabled on Moodle™. As long as your Moodle™ site is publicly reachable and allows plugin installation, the integration will work.
Which WordPress Moodle™ plugin is the cheapest?
CourseTransit Pro is currently the most affordable at an introductory price of $69, compared with Edwiser Bridge Pro at $179/year and MooWoodle Pro at $199/year for a single site. All three also offer capable free versions.
Do I need to migrate my Moodle™ courses?
No. These plugins are bridges, not replacements. Your courses stay in Moodle™ exactly as they are. The plugin simply syncs them into WordPress as sellable products and handles enrollment, so there’s no migration and no risk to your existing course content.
What happens after a student buys a course?
The moment a WooCommerce order is completed, the plugin creates a Moodle™ account for the buyer (or links an existing one) and enrolls them in the purchased course automatically. Most plugins also send a branded enrollment email with login details, so the student can start learning immediately.
Final Thoughts
There’s no single “best” WordPress Moodle™ integration plugin, only the best one for your situation. Edwiser Bridge suits established operations that want the deepest feature catalog and don’t mind paying for extensions. MooWoodle is a strong all-rounder with a broad Pro feature set on an annual plan. CourseTransit is the best fit if you want the most complete free tier, the simplest setup, and the lowest price to start selling Moodle™ courses through WooCommerce.
If you’re just getting started and want to be selling quickly without a large upfront cost, the most practical move is to try a free version first. You can download CourseTransit free, connect your Moodle™ and WordPress sites in a few minutes, and see the full purchase-to-enrollment flow work end to end before deciding whether to upgrade.
