We provide out-of-the-box themes and templates to simplify every step of the course creation process, so you'll never have to write any code.

Are there templates available to help me get started with my Thinkific course?

Yes! We surveyed data from over 40,000 course creators and put together some quick start templates to save you time and help organize your content into the perfect course. You can choose from 6 different template types, including pre-sell, mini-courses, and full flagship courses. You can always start from scratch if you prefer, but using a template can jumpstart your course creation process, especially if it's your first time.

Do I own my content?

Absolutely! You always own your student data and your content. We’ll never market to your students, and you can export your data at any time.

Am I able to use a custom domain for my Thinkific site?

Absolutely! Custom domains are great for establishing your brand as professional and trusted, and you can certainly use one on any of Thinkific's paid plans.

Do I need a web host?

Your site is fully hosted with Thinkific; you don’t need anything else. Secure hosting and e-commerce are included.

I already have a website. Can I integrate it with Thinkific?

Definitely! While Thinkific does allow you to build an entire website, you can choose to use the platform for course creation alone. So you're free to use Thinkific as the education portion to complement your existing website, whether it's custom built or created on a CMS like WordPress. Either way, you'll be able to create a fully integrated and seamless experience, from your domain and URLs to the visual branding. Your audience will see your courses and main site as one holistic ecosystem.

How are payments processed?

Full e-commerce payment processing is included. Accept all major credit cards with a simple and secure checkout, and receive instant access to your funds in your account. We provide an SSL certificate to help ensure that all your data and customer information is secure. Note that transaction fees may apply if third party payment processors are used.

What onboarding support is included?

Work one on one with our team to accelerate your goals. A personalized onboarding call is included with our Plus plans. Plus plan customers also receive a launch preparedness review and additional training.

Can I cancel or change my account at any time?

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel your account at any time from within your site dashboard.

Thinkific really is the best in the business. Since building my course with them, I went from working with 10 clients at a time to being known and found by millions of people.
