How to Build Courses and Membership Sites in GoHighLevel

ClickUp is great for managing tasks, but when you want to build powerful courses and membership sites, GoHighLevel gives you an all‑in‑one solution directly connected to your funnels, CRM, and automation tools.

This guide walks you step by step through setting up products, offers, categories, and lessons so you can launch a complete course or membership experience using GoHighLevel.

Accessing the Membership Area in GoHighLevel

To start building a course or membership site, you first need to open the Memberships section inside GoHighLevel.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. From the left-hand menu, click Sites.
  3. Select Memberships.

The Memberships dashboard is where you create products (courses), structure offers, and manage members.

Create a New Course Product in GoHighLevel

In GoHighLevel, a Product represents a course or a main piece of membership content. Each product can contain multiple categories and lessons.

  1. Go to Sites > Memberships.
  2. Click the Products tab.
  3. Hit the + New Product button.
  4. Choose one of the available templates, such as a standard course layout.
  5. Enter the product name, for example “Beginner Marketing Course”.
  6. Upload a thumbnail image and brief description, if desired.
  7. Click Create Product.

Once created, the product becomes the container for all the categories and lessons that make up your course structure in GoHighLevel.

Organize Course Categories in GoHighLevel

Categories in GoHighLevel help you break your course into logical sections, such as modules or phases.

  1. Open your product from the Products tab.
  2. Inside the product editor, locate the Categories area.
  3. Click Add Category.
  4. Give the category a name, such as “Module 1: Foundations”.
  5. Optionally add a description to clarify what the module covers.
  6. Save the category.

You can drag and drop categories to reorder your curriculum and maintain a structured learning path for members.

Add Lessons to Your GoHighLevel Course

Lessons are the individual pieces of content within a category. Each lesson in GoHighLevel can contain video, text, and other resources.

  1. Within your chosen product, select a category.
  2. Click Add Lesson.
  3. Enter a lesson title, such as “Welcome and Course Overview”.
  4. Add a lesson description or summary.
  5. Embed or upload your main content (for example, a video link or text).

  7. Click Save.

Repeat these steps for each lesson in your course. You can later adjust the order of lessons by dragging them into the correct sequence inside GoHighLevel.

Customize Lesson Content and Settings in GoHighLevel

After adding lessons, you can further customize how content is delivered to members.

  • Lesson visibility: Set whether a lesson is published or still in draft.
  • Drip schedule: Control when a member gets access to a lesson after joining.
  • Comments and interaction: Enable or disable lesson comments, depending on how interactive you want your GoHighLevel membership site to be.
  • SEO details: Add clear titles and descriptions so lessons are easy to understand inside your course structure.

These options allow you to align the pace and style of delivery with your teaching goals and member expectations.

Create Offers to Sell Your GoHighLevel Course

In GoHighLevel, an Offer is what you sell to your audience. An offer can contain one or multiple products (courses) and control pricing, access, and membership terms.

  1. Navigate to Sites > Memberships.
  2. Open the Offers tab.
  3. Click + New Offer.
  4. Enter an offer name that reflects the package, such as “All‑Access Course Pass”.
  5. Select the course product or products you want to include in this offer.
  6. Set the access type, such as one-time purchase or subscription.
  7. Configure pricing details, currency, and billing cycle (if recurring).
  8. Click Save.

Each offer can be connected to your funnels and checkout pages so you can sell your GoHighLevel membership content seamlessly.

Connect Offers to Funnels and Checkouts in GoHighLevel

Once you have at least one offer, you can link it to funnels to start selling your course or membership.

  1. Go to Funnels in your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Create or open a sales funnel or checkout funnel.
  3. Add an order form or checkout step.
  4. Select the membership Offer you created.
  5. Customize prices and order bumps, if applicable.
  6. Publish the funnel and test the checkout process.

After purchase, new customers automatically receive access to the associated product through the membership portal.

Manage Members and Access Inside GoHighLevel

GoHighLevel makes it easy to track who has access to your courses and to manage their status.

  1. Open Sites > Memberships.
  2. Click the Members tab.
  3. Search for a member by name or email.
  4. View which offers and products are assigned to each member.
  5. Adjust access levels or revoke access if necessary.

You can also resend login links and help members regain access to the portal without leaving the GoHighLevel environment.

Design and Branding for GoHighLevel Membership Sites

Branding your membership area helps maintain a consistent experience from your sales pages to course content.

  • Customize colors and typography to match your brand style.
  • Upload your logo and favicon for the membership portal.
  • Adjust layout options in templates so your GoHighLevel courses feel cohesive.
  • Preview changes on desktop and mobile to ensure a smooth user experience.

Most visual changes can be made directly from the product or membership settings, and they apply across all lessons and categories.

To keep students engaged and improve completion rates, follow a few simple structure guidelines in GoHighLevel.

  • Break large topics into short, focused lessons.
  • Group related lessons into clear categories or modules.
  • Start with an orientation or welcome lesson.

  • Use drip scheduling to prevent content overload.

These practices help members progress smoothly through your material and make the most of your training.

Publishing and Testing Your GoHighLevel Membership Site

Before sending traffic to your new course, fully test the experience from the student’s perspective.

  1. Publish your product and all lessons that should be visible.
  2. Ensure the offer is connected to a live funnel or order form.
  3. Run a test purchase using a test email address.
  4. Confirm you receive the login or access email.
