Then, configure Joomdle to integrate either VirtueMart or Tienda
Once configured, you can acces the Shop section in Joomdle admin panel, to enable the courses you want to sell.

You can also use the controls available to:
- Unpublish. Sets the product as unpublished in shop
- Reload from Moodle. Reloads the info (name, description, price) from Moodle
