Hire a Canvas LMS Developer For Custom E-Learning Solutions

Self-hosted Canvas setup, fixes, LTI tools, and custom work for schools and training teams running Canvas on their own server.

Build Your Canvas LMS Platform

Custom Development

We handle the Canvas work that comes after a basic install: course import issues, Gradebook and settings problems, RCE/media workarounds, server tweaks, and small custom features when the default tools are not enough.

Canvas LMS Installation

We install open-source Canvas on your VPS or dedicated server (Hostinger, Contabo, AWS, DigitalOcean, and similar). That includes domain/SSL, Redis, background jobs, Rich Content Editor, and a production-ready check before handoff. Full install details are on our Canvas installation service page.

API Integrations

We connect Canvas to the tools you already use through LTI 1.3 and the Canvas API. Common work includes external learning tools, quiz/content migration helpers, and practical data sync when a full custom SIS build is needed.

Theme Development

Need your Canvas site to match your brand? We can update colors, logos, and account theme settings, and add light custom CSS/JS when a full redesign is not required.

    Scott Howell, PhD

    Built a custom WordPress plugin that enrolls WooCommerce buyers into Canvas LMS the moment an order is paid. Each product maps to a Canvas course ID and an access window of 4, 8, or 12 weeks. After Stripe checkout, the plugin finds or creates the Canvas user from the billing email, enrolls them as a student with an end date, and puts the course link on the thank-you page, My Account order view, and the WooCommerce order email.

    Enrollment is queued on payment complete, processing, completed, and the thank-you page, with a shutdown run plus an Action Scheduler backup so it still fires if checkout is slow or the host cuts the request. Duplicate runs are blocked. Admins can retry from the order screen. Canvas API tokens are stored encrypted, with an optional wp-config override.

    Results & Value Added

    • Paid WooCommerce orders create or match a Canvas user and enroll them automatically
    • Course access length set per product (4, 8, or 12 weeks)
    • Course links in the order email, thank-you page, and customer account
    • Retry-safe enrollment that still runs after Stripe virtual-product checkout
    • WooCommerce admin settings, per-product Canvas tab, and encrypted API credentials
    Scott Wolf, DMA

    Great service for our Canvas instance! eLearning evolve helped us to set up a self-hosted instance of the Canvas LMS in order to test our LTI 1.3 application. Adeel was quick to respond, got the job done in exactly the amount of time promised, and when issues inevitably cropped up, his responses were lightning fast, and he had our few issues solved within 24 hours. Great experience and so grateful to have a reliable instance of Canvas up and running.
