revenue kept — no platform commission on course sales
Open edX® is the same technology behind edX, Harvard, and MIT online programs — available for any organization to run their own branded academy. Unlike consumer course platforms, it gives online academies full control over branding, content, data, and revenue.
Engage learners with high-quality courses powered by the same technology trusted by edX.org, MIT OpenCourseWare, and hundreds of professional academies worldwide. Supports video, interactive problems, discussions, and more.
Videos, discussions, problems, SCORM, LTI, PDFs, H5P, xBlocks, interactive exercises, and more. Build courses that go beyond passive video watching — with assessments, certificates, and specialization program paths.
Integrate a branded course catalog and e-commerce frontend built in WordPress with your Open edX® backend. Sell course access, manage enrollments, and run promotions — all under your own brand and domain.
Group individual courses into specialization programs with a shared certificate upon completion. Give learners a structured learning journey and a credential they can share — a key differentiator vs. single-course platforms.
Sell access to your courses via Open edX® native e-commerce or your WordPress storefront. No platform commissions — you keep every dollar. Set your own pricing, bundles, discount codes, and payment gateways.
Track learner progress, course completion, revenue, and enrollment trends through Open edX® Aspects and the Edunext Control Center. Make data-driven decisions to improve your academy’s performance and retention.
Consumer course platforms are easy to start but hard to scale — they take a cut of every sale, limit your branding, and lock you into their ecosystem. Open edX® via Edunext gives you a platform you own, at the scale you need.

The Romero Foundation has been a beacon of entrepreneurship and social development in Peru since 1982 — running initiatives like the Entrepreneurs Portal (PQS.pe) and the ‘Para Quitarse el Sombrero’ entrepreneurship prize. In 2014, the Foundation made a bold decision: launch an online academy to give every Peruvian access to quality entrepreneurial education, regardless of geography or income. They chose Open edX® — at the time largely unknown in Latin America — and partnered with Edunext to build, translate, and scale the platform.
Questions typically asked by course creators, e-learning entrepreneurs, and academy operators evaluating Open edX® as their platform.
Open edX® supports native e-commerce and integrates with WordPress storefronts for course sales. Unlike platforms like Teachable or Thinkific — which take 5–10% per sale — there are no per-sale commissions on Open edX®. Academies set their own pricing, configure their own payment gateways, and keep every dollar of revenue. Edunext provides the managed hosting and storefront integration as part of its cloud subscription plans.
Yes. Campus Virtual Romero, hosted by Edunext, scaled from a few hundred users in 2015 to over 1 million users by 2020 — and handled a surge of 200,000 concurrent learners during the COVID-19 pandemic without disruption. Edunext’s cloud infrastructure is designed for high-availability and burst-traffic scenarios, making it suitable for academies at any growth stage.
Edunext offers two models: Edunext Cloud (fully managed on AWS by Edunext) and Your Cloud / BYOC (Edunext deploys and operates on the academy’s own cloud account). Both include automatic Open edX® updates, 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, SLA-backed uptime, and the Edunext Control Center. For complex or large-scale academies, edg·onâ„¢ Consulting provides custom development and dedicated infrastructure setup.
Yes. Edunext supports WordPress storefront integration with Open edX®, allowing academies to present a branded course catalog, manage enrollments, and process payments through WordPress — while the course delivery runs on Open edX®. This is one of the most popular configurations for course-selling academies and enables full SEO control over the marketing site.
Open edX® supports video lectures (hosted, YouTube, Vimeo), SCORM 1.2 and 2004 packages, xAPI / Tin Can, LTI tools, PDFs, H5P interactive content, discussion forums, graded assessments, live sessions via LTI, xBlocks (third-party extensions), and specialization program paths with shared certificates. This covers every content format needed for a professional online academy.
Open edX® via Edunext offers capabilities that consumer course platforms cannot match: no revenue commissions, full white-label branding on your own domain, SCORM and LTI support, specialization program architecture, and the ability to scale to millions of learners. The difference is that Open edX® requires a managed hosting provider like Edunext — it is not a fully self-serve platform. For serious academies with growth ambitions, the trade-off is well worth it.
