How to Create and Manage Add-Ons

Add-Ons are supplementary products students can purchase alongside class enrollment — physical items like textbooks and pocket masks, digital items, or keycode-based products. They can be pre-selected during registration and priced with volume discounts for bulk orders.

This article walks you through creating an add-on, setting up volume pricing, and importing add-on templates from the Marketplace.

Before You Begin

• Decide what type of add-on you're creating — a physical product, a digital item, or a keycode-based product.
• Have your pricing ready, including any volume discount tiers you want to offer.
• Know which courses the add-on should be available for, or whether it should apply to all courses.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create an Add-On

1. Go to Administration > Course Builder > Add-Ons.
2. Click + Create.
3. Enter the Name and optionally a Product Code (SKU).
4. Write a Description using the rich text editor.
5. Set the Price (required).
6. Select the Type:
   • Shippable — physical product; reveals the Shipping Price field.
   • Non-shippable — digital or non-physical item.
   • Keycode — digital access code; reveals the Keycode Bank dropdown.
7. Select applicable Tax rates.
8. Toggle Default selection ON to pre-select this add-on in the registration form.
9. In Apply to Courses, select specific courses or leave blank to show on all.
10. Click Save.

Step 2: Set Up Volume Pricing (Bulk Discounts)

1. In the Add-On form, scroll to the Quantity section.
2. Click + Add Tier and enter the minimum quantity and per-unit price for each tier.
3. Example: 1–10 at $15.00 each, 11–25 at $12.00 each, 26+ at $10.00 each.
4. Click Save.

Step 3: Import Add-On Templates from the Marketplace (Optional)

1. Click Marketplace > Add-On Templates.
2. Hover over a card and click Use Template to import and edit.

Best Practices

• Use the correct Type (Shippable, Non-shippable, or Keycode) so the right fields — shipping price or keycode bank — are available for that add-on.
• Set up volume pricing for items commonly bought in bulk, like textbooks for group training.
• Only toggle Default selection ON for add-ons you genuinely want pre-selected, since it changes the checkout total by default.
• Scope add-ons to specific courses with Apply to Courses when they aren't relevant to your full catalog.
