About This Guide
This guide is for anyone who wants to create and manage Course Offers in Ivorey™.
Course offers are what let you package your course for sale, decide how students will enroll, and set the pricing and payment options.
This guide is perfect if you want to:
Create an offer so you grant access to your courses
Control access dates (e.g. start immediately, or drip access later)
Offer coupons or free access codes for special promotions
How To Create An Offer For Your Course
To give people access to your course, you’ll need to create an 'Offer.' Here’s why: A course alone just sits inside your Ivorey™ account without any way for users to access it.
When you create an Offer, you’re telling Ivorey™, “When someone buys this Offer, they get access to this course (or set of courses).” In short, an Offer is what makes your course available for purchase and lets people access it.
