Summary
Course bundles are packages of 2 or more courses sold together. Bundles let you offer volume discounts, for learners who buy multiple courses at once.
eCommerce is available to all customers.
In LearnUpon, bundles are containers for courses. You create the container, then add the courses to it, then sell the container and its contents.
Once you turn on bundles for your portal, they appear alongside Courses and Learning Paths.
Access permissions
Only admins with full portal permissions can set up the eCommerce features, including course bundles.

Sell the bundle in the store
If memberships and membership pricing are available on your portal, you can set separate prices for different membership levels. See Associations and membership types: overview and setup.
Making the bundle sellable changes its status from Draft to Sellable, and means it appears in your online store.
From main navigation go to Courses, then select Bundles from secondary navigation.
- Select your bundle from the list.
- From secondary navigation select Sales.
- From the Sales page, select Bundle Sellable?
- Enter a Price for your bundle.
- Optionally:

- Save to finish.

Editing and deleting bundles
When you first create a bundle it is in Draft status. You can edit the bundle freely by adding or removing courses.
When you make the bundle Sellable, LearnUpon locks the bundle so you can't edit it.
To edit an existing bundle in your store, you need to turn off the Bundle Sellable? option. When you're finished editing, turn it on again, to return the bundle to the store.
To delete a bundle:
- From main navigation go to Courses, then select Bundles from secondary navigation.
- In the bundle you want to delete, select More (aka 3-dot menu) > Delete.
- In the dialog that opens, select Yes to confirm.
The following screenshot shows the Delete option for a bundle.
