Discount codes FAQ
How do I edit a discount code?
Codes can't be edited via the interface once created. You have the option to create a new code with the correct settings.
Or, if you've already shared the code and you need further help, you can contact us with your edit request and we'll make the change if possible on the back end.
How do I delete a discount code?
We prefer not to delete discount codes since this can result in a loss of data in your discount code reports. However, you can create codes with a built-in expiration date or max number of uses so that they are automatically invalid once the expiration date passes or the uses are maxed out.
If you've already shared the code and you need further help, you can contact us. We're happy to add an expiration date for you if you forgot to do so when you created the code.
If I am using multiple cohorts, do I need to specify which cohorts are included?
Codes apply to a single-purchase course universally, so you if you have multiple cohorts listed under a course, the discount percentage will apply to each cohort, even if they have different pricing.
For subscription codes, the code will give access to every cohort included in the subscription plan.
Can I use discount codes to provide a free trial? Will users be automatically charged at the end of the trial?
Subscription plans can be set up to require card information when a free discount code is applied. This means that the user will be automatically charged on their card at the end of the free trial period, unless they cancel before renewal. If you're not sure what settings were selected when your plan was created, you can contact us and ask.
How do I use discount codes for gift purchases?
Monthly subscription plans may optionally be set up to provide automatically generated Gift Subscriptions. Gift subscriptions allow anyone to gift access to your courses to anyone else for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.
We don't currently have a built-in feature for gifting a single-purchase course. However, you're welcome to accept payment for the course anyway you like (invoicing via Stripe, PayPal, etc.) and then provide a code for the purchaser to share with the gift recipient.
