Each course split into modules and lessons, with text, images and a video from a YouTube or Vimeo link.

Included

How It Works

Build Your Udemy Clone in 3 Steps

  1. 1

    Describe It

    Tell Fabricate what features you want in your Udemy clone. Be as specific or general as you like.

  2. 2

    Generate It

    Fabricate builds it as a web app with its own database and sign-in, and on Pro and Max card payments into your own Stripe account. Try it in the preview and ask for changes in the same chat.

  3. 3

    Launch It

    Publish your clone with one click on Pro, and share its link with your first users.

In-depth guide

What goes into a Udemy clone built with Fabricate

A Udemy clone is a course marketplace: many teachers publish courses, and students find, buy and take them. Built with Fabricate, it is one web app made from your description, with a sign-in for teachers and students, its own database and an admin page for you.

Courses: teachers create courses split into modules and lessons, each lesson with text, images and a video from a YouTube or Vimeo link, and a quiz if they want one. You approve each course before it shows in the catalog, and students search it by category and rating.

Money: On Pro and Max, the app can take card payments through Stripe Checkout, paid into your own Stripe account, which you connect under More > Payments. That money goes to you, so a marketplace that shares sales with teachers has you pay them yourself, or charges teachers a fee to list instead. Fabricate takes no share of what you are paid; Stripe charges its own card fees.

What is not built in: video hosting, paying teachers their share, emails to students about courses, accredited certificates, live classes, and phone apps from the App Store or Google Play. Students take courses in any phone or computer browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do payments work?
On Pro and Max, the app can take card payments through Stripe Checkout, paid into your own Stripe account, which you connect under More > Payments. That money goes to you: paying teachers their share of each sale is not built in, so it suits a platform where teachers pay you a fee to join, or where students pay teachers directly. Fabricate takes no share of what you are paid; Stripe charges its own card fees.
Can teachers upload videos?
Fabricate does not host video files. Each video plays from a link to YouTube or Vimeo, and anyone who has that video's own link can watch it, so use the video site's privacy settings for anything you sell.
Can students get a certificate?
If you ask for one: when a student finishes every lesson or passes the final quiz, the app shows a certificate page with their name and the date, which they can print or save as a PDF from their browser. It is not an accredited qualification.
Can the app email students?
Not about courses. On Pro and Max, a published app sends the emails that confirm a student's address and reset a password; course news and lesson reminders are not built in, so send them from your own email tool.
Can I add an AI tutor?
On Pro and Max, the app can use AI, to draft, answer, sort or summarise, with no AI account or key of your own; each answer is paid from your credits. Ask for a tutor that answers questions about a lesson.
How long does it take?
The first version is built in the chat while you watch, and you try it in the preview as soon as it is ready. Getting it ready for real people takes as long as your changes and testing do, so try every part with test accounts before you share the link.
