eCommerce platform: make a bulk purchase as a buyer

Buy courses in volume to share with your organization

Invite new users by email, and enroll existing learners by assigning them a course seat.

Availability: depends on your LearnUpon plan

Buy multiple seats for one course, or several courses to share across a team or organization.

You can buy courses even if you don't yet know who will take the course: you can assign courses to learners or invite learners later.

View and track course invites

From the eCommerce platform, Seat management > course name directs you to your course overview page.

1. From your portal eCommerce platform, select Orders > Seat management.
2. Select a course title to open the course overview, and view
   • Invite learners - this button is available until you allocate all the seats available
   • the number of seats allocated and seats remaining
   • Enrolled learners tab
   • Pending invitations tab

The following screenshot shows a sample course overview page, displaying seats allocated and enrolled users.

3. Optional: from Pending invitations you can select learners to Resend invite, or Delete invite as required.

The following screenshot shows a sample course overview page, displaying Pending invitations and the option to Resend invite or Delete invite.

You use Delete invite to withdraw an invite to a learner who has not responded to it.

This option is effective if you allocate seats by mistake, or a learner has left your organization and won’t use the seat.

When you select Delete invite, the link in the email sent to the original learner becomes invalid, and you can see the number of seats available change onscreen.
