At LMS Crafter, we don’t just install plugins; we build them. Our Custom LMS Plugin Development service is for course creators who need unique functionality, custom integrations, or complex logic that standard plugins can’t handle. We write clean, secure, and scalable PHP code to make your vision a reality.
Mubashir’s Note: We follow strict WordPress coding standards. We never “hack” core files. We build standalone add-ons that survive updates.
Platforms We Extend
We build custom add-ons and extensions for the industry giants. If it has hooks and filters, we can code for it:
- LearnDash: Custom grading logic, pro-panel reporting extensions, and unique course progression flows.
- BuddyBoss: Custom profile tabs, group automation, and specific social triggers.
- TutorLMS: Bespoke instructor dashboards and revenue-sharing calculations.
- LearnPress & MasterStudy: Bridging the gap between these themes and other tools.
- LifterLMS: Advanced membership restrictions and engagement add-ons.
- WooCommerce: Custom checkout fields, payment gateways, and product bundle logic.
What Can We Build for $49/Hour?
This service is for coding and development, not just settings configuration. Here are common projects we handle:
1. API Integrations
Need your LMS to talk to a 3rd party software that WP Fusion doesn’t support? We can build a custom API bridge to send student data to your proprietary CRM, HR system, or external database.
2. Custom Reporting & Analytics
If standard reports aren’t cutting it, we can build custom CSV exports or frontend dashboards that show exactly the KPIs you care about (e.g., “Time spent per video” or “Quiz success rate by demographic”).
3. Advanced Logic & Restrictions
- Example: “I want a student to only unlock Course B if they scored 80% on Course A AND bought Product C.”
- Example: “I want to limit course access to specific IP addresses or time zones.”
- We write the conditional logic to make these complex scenarios happen.
4. Frontend Dashboard Widgets
We can build custom shortcodes or Elementor widgets that display user data exactly how you want it. (See our design philosophy in our Elementor vs Gutenberg guide).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I own the plugin you build?
A: Yes! You own 100% of the intellectual property. We build it for you, and you are free to use it on your sites or even sell it.
Q: Will the custom code break when WordPress updates?
A: We code according to strict WordPress and LMS standards (using hooks/filters) to minimize this risk. However, for long-term peace of mind, we recommend our Maintenance Plans to keep custom code monitored.
Q: How do I get a quote?
A: Small snippets might take 2-3 hours. A full custom add-on could take 10-20 hours. Please Contact Us with your requirements document for a precise estimate before purchasing.
Q: Can you customize the checkout flow?
A: Absolutely. We can add custom fields to the WooCommerce checkout and ensure that data is saved correctly to the Student Profile.
