Stripe have their own charges which are separate to iQualify. You can find out more about their pricing here.

Setting up a course activation for online payment  

Once you’ve enabled Stripe for your organisation, anyone with manage permissions can create a course activation with self enrolment. To do this, simply choose the course you wish to activate from your create dashboard, and provide the following information in the activation settings under the self-signup tab:

  • Check the box to create a public page for this course, and allow anyone to join (image below).

  • Add the maximum number of learners (if limited). The course will automatically close to new learners once full.

  • Add a Notify me URL to a web page you manage (such as a Google form) allowing learners who have missed out on a course to upload their details so that you can notify them the next time the course is run.

  • Toggle the Strict start date to choose if you want to allow learners to join the course once started, or not.

  • Set your course price.

  • Choose the currency you wish the price to be displayed in from the drop down menu.

What's next?

Once you've activated your course you can include the course URL in any marketing communications. Learners can sign-up to the course by selecting the join button and entering their name, email address and credit card details. Once the payment has been accepted the learner will be provided with a link to access the course and emailed a confirmation of payment.
