What you actually get with OpenMirai
02
Course commerce is native
OpenMirai connects products, checkout, receipts, subscriptions, memberships, and learner access without bolting commerce onto a classroom workflow
03
0% platform fee with real selling tools
OpenMirai keeps the 0% platform-fee story attached to a real academy checkout, not a tool that avoids fees because it does not sell courses
04
Built for independent academy growth
OpenMirai combines website, course studio, learner management, payments, certificates, analytics, protection, and multi-language support in one academy flow
