How to connect an external website or page to the course checkout page built on Knorish or add an external link to Knorish site?

Knorish is an all-in-one platform that offers the complete tech stack that one would require to build and scale their online businesses. However, there can be situations wherein you may have a site built on another platform such as WordPress.

Once a course is published, you can generate a unique sign up URL to connect to your site's pages or buttons for redirection to your Knorish account for purchases and sign ups. This article will show you the step by step process on how it do this.
