What Knola is

Course materials can include video, text, PDFs, Word documents, transcripts, quizzes, and downloadable resources. Creators can also make ebooks, checklists, worksheets, and lead magnets. Checkout supports one-off payments, payment plans, and subscriptions. Knola’s checkout charges 7.5 per sale, while creator-owned checkout links have a 0% Knola fee. It offers custom domains, integrated payment options, quizzes, certificates, drip lessons, progress tracking, and analytics. Exports include courses as PDF, HTML, or Markdown and audiences as CSV.
