BuddyBoss White-Label Community Launch (7-10 days)
A repeatable delivery sprint that stands up a branded BuddyBoss community, course layer, and white-label mobile app for one client, then hands over documented admin workflows the agency can support on retainer.
- WordPress host sized for the client's expected member count, with staging and production environments provisioned
- BuddyBoss Pro license active on the agency account, plus a Mobile-app Solo license ($99/month) if the client wants iOS or Android
- Client's Apple Developer and Google Play developer accounts, since app publishing runs under the client's or agency's developer account
- Course content and member role map from the client, including which LMS plugin (LearnDash, LifterLMS, or Tutor LMS) they already run
- Brand assets: logo, color palette, app icon set, and store listing copy for the white-label app submission
- 1.Install BuddyBoss Platform and Pro on the staging WordPress instance and confirm the theme activates without plugin conflicts
- 2.Map the client's member types to BuddyBoss profile types and draft the group structure before any content migration
- 1.Apply the client's brand to the BuddyBoss theme: logo, color palette, typography, and email templates
- 2.Configure registration flow, profile fields, and member directories so signups land in the right profile type
- 1.Connect the client's chosen LMS (LearnDash, LifterLMS, or Tutor LMS) and verify course enrollment syncs with BuddyBoss memberships
- 2.Wire the payment gateway and test a full purchase-to-course-access path with a live test transaction
- 1.Build the social layer: activity feed settings, direct messaging permissions, and group privacy rules
- 2.Enable gamification points and badges on the Pro tier and set thresholds that match the client's engagement goals
- 1.Configure the Mobile-app Solo build for iOS or Android and connect it to the staging site
- 2.Test push notifications and confirm the app renders the client's brand rather than BuddyBoss branding
- 1.Submit the white-label app build to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store under the client's developer account
- 2.Draft store listing copy, screenshots, and privacy disclosures while the review is pending
- 1.Run a QA pass across web and app: member onboarding, course access, messaging, and Zoom meeting scheduling
- 2.Fix defects found in QA and re-test the enrollment and payment path end to end
- 1.Migrate the client's existing members and course content into production and reconcile counts against the source
- 2.Set up Cloudflare CDN offload if the client is on the Plus tier and confirm media delivery performance
- 1.Record admin walkthroughs covering member management, group moderation, and course publishing
- 2.Hand over credentials, app store console access, and a written runbook to the client's team
- 1.Hold a live training session with the client's admin team and capture open questions in the runbook
- 2.Confirm the app is live in the store and schedule the first monthly maintenance window
The agency pays $99/month for a single-platform Mobile-app Solo license or $349/month for the Plus tier with gamification and Cloudflare CDN offload, then bills a client $1,090 or more for the launch sprint. Because the same BuddyBoss license covers unlimited members, courses, and groups on Pro, each additional client community launched on the stack carries almost no incremental platform cost, so margin improves with every engagement added to the retainer book.
- Branded BuddyBoss production site with configured profile types, groups, and activity feed
- Live white-label mobile app published to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store under the client's developer account
- Course and membership configuration wired to LearnDash, LifterLMS, or Tutor LMS with a tested payment path
- Admin runbook covering member management, group moderation, course publishing, and app store update procedure
- Recorded training session and credentials handover package for the client's internal team
The client's branded BuddyBoss community is live on web and in at least one app store, a test member can register, purchase, and access a course without agency intervention, and the client's admin has signed off on the runbook.
