WordPress Moodle Integration:
Easy Bridge Elite
Easily Sell Moodle Courses Globally. Bypass hours of complex Moodle Web Service configuration and API tokens. Connect WooCommerce and Moodle in 1 minute using a single Shared Key.
Stop Wrestling with Web Services
Why standard integrations like Edwiser Bridge slow down your store development and expose your Moodle server to security issues.
The Edwiser Way (Slow & Complex)
Complex Token Configuration: Requires creating web service users, generating tokens, configuring protocols, and setting custom permissions on Moodle.
Database Locking Risks: Heavy REST requests write directly to Moodle databases during user checkout, causing transaction timeouts under load.
Hidden Add-on Pricing: Forces you to pay extra annual subscriptions for basic features like SSO redirects and Group mappings.
The Easy Bridge Way (Fast & Stateless)
1-Click Cryptographic Key: Paste a single shared key. The plugins automatically sign and authorize all communication via HMAC SHA-256 validation.
Stateless SSO Latency: Student accounts are created dynamically upon their first visit, reducing database writes and avoiding check-out lag.
100% Core Inclusive: SSO redirects, JIT course groups, JIT system cohorts, and manual course sync are completely free, built directly into the core.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you migrate from Edwiser to Easy Bridge Elite.
How is Easy Bridge Elite set up in under 1 minute?
Instead of creating Moodle Web Services, Web Service users, custom roles, and security tokens, Easy Bridge Elite uses a single Shared Secret Key. WordPress and Moodle sign all requests with this key using secure HMAC SHA-256 validation. It is instant and highly secure.
Do I need to buy a separate SSO extension?
No. Single Sign-On (SSO) and deep-link redirects are included out-of-the-box. When users click "Start Learning" in WooCommerce, they are seamlessly auto-logged into Moodle and directed straight to the course page they purchased.
Does it support WooCommerce Subscriptions?
Yes. Easy Bridge Elite is fully compatible with WooCommerce Subscriptions. When a subscription is active, the student maintains Moodle access. If a subscription is cancelled, suspended, or refunded, the plugin automatically suspends their Moodle course enrollments instantly.
Can I synchronize Moodle groups and system cohorts?
Yes. You can assign Moodle course groups and system-wide cohorts directly within the WooCommerce product details panel. When a student completes their purchase, they are dynamically assigned to those groups and cohorts on Moodle during their first SSO redirect.
What happens if Moodle returns database query comments or warnings?
Easy Bridge Elite includes active output buffer cleaning (ob_clean) right before sending JSON data. This prevents any PHP warnings, notices, or theme debugging markers from contaminating the response, eliminating common JSON parse errors.
How does the Deep-Link Auto-Login Redirect work?
When an unauthenticated student visits a Moodle course page directly (e.g. from a bookmark), Easy Bridge intercepts the page load, captures the target URL, securely redirects them to WordPress to complete the SSO handshake, and lands them back on the exact page they bookmarked.
Can I map variable WooCommerce products?
Yes. You can configure individual variation SKUs in WooCommerce to map directly to Moodle course shortnames, allowing you to sell different packages (e.g., standard access, group access) under a single WooCommerce product entry.
