To enable group pricing

- Click the blue edit button on the group you have established for member pricing.
- Uncheck the Visibility box. If this box is checked, non-members cannot purchase the package.
- To enable group pricing, check the Pricing box.
Important package settings
- The Active checkbox must be checked off to make the package available on the front end of your LMS. You don't need to have a time frame listed. If you do, the system will remove the package from the Course List based on the To date. End won't be able to purchase this course, but those who have purchased the content won't lose access to it.
- The Registration checkbox does not need to be checked. You would only use this check box if you have a specific registration window for people to purchase this course.
- Do not use the Visible Only After Distribution checkbox for any paid packages. This feature pre-assigns end users access to course content. A common use-case is for a Board of Director Orientation Course, where only the end users in the Board of Directors group can see the package, and access it without making a purchase.
To set up non-member pricing
- In the main menu, click Store, then Packages in the drop-down menu.
- Hop inside the first package that you want to add pricing to. The Price field displays beneath each package description. This is your non-member rate.
- Add the non-member rate to this field.
- Click the Save button. The non-member rate is the default pricing for this package.
To set up member pricing
- Inside the package, scroll down to the bottom of the page then click the Add to Group button. On the following screen, you can add special group pricing to your package.
- Select your desired group from the drop-down menu.
- Add the member rate to this field.
- Click the Save button. Now all profiles in your selected group will receive the member pricing that you have set.
Group management tips
- Use our upload feature to add a .csv file of your active members to the group you have established for them.
- Everyone in this group will receive the member rates that have been added to your packages. Add new members to this group as they join.
- If a member drops their membership, you will need to remove them from the group so they no longer have access to member pricing.
