Enrollment and progress tracking need to handle drip content, prerequisites, and partial completion correctly, not just a binary "enrolled/not enrolled" flag.
Education & EdTech
Education & EdTech Laravel Development
LMS backends live or die on progress tracking and payout math. We build drip content tied to real prerequisites, a quiz engine with proper scoring, and instructor payouts that handle refunds and chargebacks correctly.
What we get right by default
- Drip content tied to enrollment date or prerequisites
- Quiz engine with attempt limits and weighted scoring
- Certificates issued only on verified completion
- Instructor payouts that account for refunds and chargebacks
How we think about it
Where Education & EdTech projects actually break
Course platforms look simple until you model progress correctly: a lesson can be locked behind a prerequisite, a date, or both, and "completed" needs a precise definition (watched to the end, passed a quiz, submitted an assignment) that the payout and certificate logic can both rely on. We build the enrollment and progress engine around explicit completion rules per lesson type, so a certificate is only issued once every required rule has actually been satisfied, not just when a student clicks through.
Instructor payouts are where these platforms most often get quietly wrong: a payout calculated at the time of sale needs to be reversed or adjusted if the student refunds within the window, and chargebacks need to claw back revenue that may have already been paid out. We build payout runs as a scheduled, auditable process that accounts for pending refund windows, rather than paying out instantly on every sale.
Where projects go wrong
Common Education & EdTech backend challenges
Instructor payout math (revenue share, refunds, chargebacks) is easy to get wrong at scale, especially when a refund happens after a payout has already gone out.
Video hosting and streaming need to integrate cleanly with a third-party provider without becoming a bottleneck or a support burden for the whole platform.
Quiz and assessment logic (attempt limits, weighted scoring, question randomization) needs to be data-driven so instructors can build assessments without a developer.
What we build
Systems we build for Education & EdTech
Course and enrollment engine
Drip content scheduling by date or prerequisite completion, progress tracking per lesson type, and explicit completion rules that certificates and payouts both rely on.
Quiz and assessment tools
Question banks, weighted scoring, attempt limits, and randomization, built so instructors can author assessments without needing a developer.
Certificate generation
PDF certificate generation tied to verified completion rules, with a verification page so a certificate's authenticity can be checked.
Instructor payouts
Revenue share calculation at time of sale, with scheduled payout runs that hold back or claw back amounts affected by refunds and chargebacks.

FAQ
Education & EdTech project questions
Can you integrate with Mux, Vimeo, or Bunny for video hosting?
Yes. We typically integrate an existing video infrastructure provider rather than self-hosting video, and build the progress tracking (watch percentage, completion) around their playback events or webhooks.
How do you calculate instructor payouts when a student refunds?
Payouts run on a schedule (not instantly per sale) with a hold period that matches your refund window, and any refund or chargeback within that window adjusts the payout before it goes out, with a clear audit trail if it happens after.
Can students access content offline or through a mobile app?
We can build the API layer to support a mobile app with offline caching; the specifics depend on whether you need a native app or a installable web app, which we'd scope separately.
Do you build the quiz and certificate engine from scratch, or use a plugin?
From scratch, as part of the Laravel backend. This gives you full control over scoring rules, certificate design, and verification, without being limited by a third-party plugin's constraints.
