Course bundles

Also in Resellers

A bundle is a named group of courses. Its purpose is to be sold or given as one thing: an invitation can cover a bundle rather than a single course, so somebody gets a place on all of them at once.

Making one

  1. Under your name in the top corner, open Sales and choose the bundles panel.
  2. Name it — this is what a buyer sees, so name it for them rather than for your filing.
  3. Add a description if it needs one.
  4. Choose the courses it contains.
  5. Save.

A course can be in several bundles at once, and being in a bundle changes nothing about the course itself.

What a bundle is not

It is not a course. Nobody enrolls on a bundle. Somebody given a bundle is enrolled on each of its courses separately, and their progress on each is separate.

It is not a price. A bundle has no price of its own. The price lives on the invitation that covers it. The same bundle can be sold at different prices to different customers.

It is not an order. The courses in a bundle are a set, not a sequence. If they are meant to be taken in order, say so in the course descriptions.

When the bundle changes

Adding a course to a bundle does not retrospectively enroll people who were given that bundle earlier. They got what the bundle contained at the time.

That is usually what you want — but it means a bundle is a snapshot as far as past invitations are concerned, and if you genuinely want to give everybody the new course, that is a second invitation.

When a course in it is switched off

Taking a course out of service while it is in a bundle leaves the bundle promising something nobody can open, and anybody holding an invitation for that bundle is covered for a course that will not run.

Grapevine warns you at the moment you change the course’s status, because by then the invitations are already out. The course stays in the bundle — an afternoon’s editing should not silently rewrite what was sold — so the decision about what to do is yours.

Where they are used

When you create an invitation, you choose whether it covers a single course or a bundle. See Invitations: selling places in advance.
