# Sell a course on its own

> Charge a one-time price for a course so anyone can buy it, whether or not they're a member.

Anyone who finds your course can buy it with a single payment and keep access for good.

## When to use this

- Your course is a standalone product, like a signature program or masterclass.
- You want people who aren't members to be able to buy it.
- You want members to get a better deal than everyone else (optional).

## Before you start

You need [Stripe connected](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/business/stripe-and-payouts) to take payments.

## Steps

**Step 1: Open the course pricing**

Go to [Offerings → Courses](https://portal.bringsoul.life/courses), open the course, and on the Course details tab find Course settings. Next to Price, click Edit. The Edit Course Pricing dialog opens.

Creating a new course? You set the same thing in step 2, Pricing Model.

**Step 2: Set the regular price**

Under Regular Price, enter what everyone pays, such as `149`. If there's no price yet, click Add Price first.

**Step 3: Optional: add a member price**

Click Add subscriber price and enter what your active members pay, such as `99`. Leave it out if everyone should pay the same.

**Step 4: Optional: add a discount**

Click Add discount under a price for a launch offer. See [Offer launch or discount pricing](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/courses/offer-launch-pricing).

**Step 5: Save**

Click Save Changes. You'll see *"Price tiers updated successfully"*.

**Step 6: Check the refund policy**

Under Price, the Refund policy link shows which policy applies. It uses your portal's policy unless you save an override for this course. See [Refunds](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/business/refunds).

**Step 7: Make sure it's public and published**

Visibility should be Public so non-members can buy. Click Publish course if it's still a draft.

**Step 8: Share the link**

Click Share Course and post the link wherever you promote: `https://bringsoul.life/portal/<your-handle>/courses/<course-id>`.

## Tips

- Offer a taste first. Mark one or two lessons as [free previews](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/courses/offer-free-preview-lessons) so people can try before they buy.
- Use the member price to grow your membership. A clear saving for subscribers gives people a reason to join.
- Announce it. Post an [announcement](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/announcements) when the course goes live.

## Good to know

- Course prices are one-time. There's no monthly billing or payment plan for a course.
- Members pay with card or Klarna, and can enter a [promo code](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/business/promotions) in checkout.
- Changing the price only affects new buyers. People already enrolled keep their access.
- Buyers keep access for good, even if they never become members. A refund removes access.

**Warning:** 
If a member started checkout but didn't finish paying, they show as Unpaid on your Enrollments tab
and can't open the lessons. They'll see Complete Payment on the course page.

## What your members see

The price under Investment on the course page, and a button reading Enroll for $…. Members with a subscriber price see their own price. Checkout shows the total and a promo code field, then Proceed to Payment. After paying they see _"Payment confirmed! You now have access to this course."_ and can click Start Learning.
