== Description ==

### Free WordPress LMS Plugin: Built-in Payments, Quizzes, and Certificates

Masteriyo is a self-hosted LMS plugin and WordPress course plugin built for course creation and monetization: create, manage, and sell online courses without WooCommerce, SaaS fees, or platform commissions. As a self-hosted WordPress LMS, it gives companies, educators, and creators full control over their data and revenue.

Unlike a hosted LMS or an LMS-as-a-service platform, Masteriyo runs on your own WordPress site, giving you full ownership of your data, students, and revenue. The built-in order system, payment gateways, quizzes, and certificates are all free. No third-party plugins required.

Accept payments via Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Mollie, and more. Sell in multiple currencies, share revenue with instructors, and keep 100% of your earnings.
