If you wish students to find your courses and sign-up for the courses by themselves then there area a few things you need to do:

Enable payments for your courses:

First you have to enable payments (currently even if you intend all your courses to be free - but we may be able to change that later (if it's something you need please let us know)).

  • Go to "BILLING" > "Purchases" and follow the instructions on screen

Set course online sign-up availability:

Next, select the availability options for each applicable course:

  • Go "COURSES" > "Course" and select "Edit" for the course you wish to make available online.

You can then, in the section "Course Advertising and Sales Information":

  • Set if the course is shown at all on your site page/course page marketing (funnel) pages - select "Can students see this course on the home page or under related courses?" if you wish it so.

  • If that is set, then you have another option to decide if students can actually sign-up and pay online (or enroll for free) for this course - select "Can students sign up and pay for this course online?" if so - or leave it blank if you only wanted to advertise the course but wish them to contact you by some other means to actually do the course.

  • Finally, if you have select both those settings you also have the option to make students do a full enrollment before starting their course. If you wish this then please select "Force new student to do full logon before starting this course?"

    • Note: If this option is disabled you need to turn this on as a organisation-wide setting first.

    • For full information about this setting, including how to set it on organisation-wise first, see: "Force immediate student sign-up".

Set your course price:

In the same section you can also then set the currency you wish to advertise and sell your course in, and for how much.

  • Select the applicable currency from the available options

  • Enter the course price for "How much do you want to charge for the course?"

    • Note: If you wish to deliver the course for free simply enter "0" .

Set memberships that included this course:

Optional: If you have enabled memberships and wish to use one or more of them for this course, you will be able to select them from the list (if there is no list you have not enabled any memberships).

Wallah - you are done!
