By the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to:

  1. Confidently set their course price within the platform dashboard.

  2. Add promotional pricing (discounts or sales) with clear timelines.

  3. Offer intentional free previews that invite, not devalue.

  4. Ensure all payment methods and currency settings are correct.

  5. Create a smooth, trust-building checkout experience.


🌟 Key Topics Covered

“Your course is a seed. The price is not the cost of the seed — it’s the cost of the garden you’re helping them grow.”


🔹 1. Where and How to Input Your Course Price

This is where your inner builder rises. You’ve envisioned the course, defined its value — now we lock it into the system with precision.

Steps:

  • Go to your course dashboard

  • Navigate to: Course > Settings > Pricing

  • You’ll see fields for:

    • Regular Price (this is your full value)

    • Sale Price (optional)

    • Free Preview Lessons (optional but powerful)

This is the bridge between vision and visibility.
This is where your inner teacher becomes a trusted brand.


🔹 2. Setting Discount Prices and Sale Periods

A sale is not a signal of weakness — it’s a moment of invitation.
Use it wisely and intentionally.

  • In the Pricing tab:

    • Enter your discounted (sale) price

    • Set start and end dates for the promotion

    • Add a clear message in your course description if needed

      “This course is currently 25% off as part of our Sacred Learning Season — offer ends 2025.”

A discount done with purpose inspires trust. A discount done from fear creates confusion.


🔹 3. Creating Free Previews Without Giving Away the Whole Course

Let them taste the honey — not the whole hive.

You can:

  • Select 1–2 key lessons and mark them as “Free Preview”

  • These should:

    • Offer real insight, not just an intro

    • Be deeply aligned with the transformation promise

    • End with an inner pull to keep going

đź’ˇ Tip: Your preview should spark a soul whisper:

“If this is free… what’s inside must be gold.”


🔹 4. Currency and Checkout Settings (M-Pesa, Card, PayPal)

A smooth transaction is a silent “yes” from the learner’s soul.

Make sure:

  • Currency is set (e.g., USD, KES)

  • Payment methods are tested and working:

    • M-Pesa (set through mobile checkout plugin or integration)

    • Card Payments (Visa, Mastercard, etc.)

    • PayPal (globally trusted — ideal for international learners)

Steps (depending on your platform):

  • Navigate to: Settings > Payments or E-commerce > Payment Options

  • Enable preferred gateways

  • Link your accounts (e.g., PayPal email, M-Pesa shortcode, card processor)

Don’t let technical confusion steal your student’s momentum. Test everything before launching.


đź§­ Step-by-Step Summary

Step Action
1. Navigate to Course > Settings > Pricing
2. Set your Regular Price
3. (Optional) Add a Sale Price and timeline
4. Select Preview Lessons to be shown for free
5. Configure Currency and Payment Gateways
6. Save and Publish your changes
7. Double-check how it appears on the student-facing page

đź’Ž Bonus Insight: Clarity Is Kindness

Don’t make your learners guess.

  • Show the price clearly

  • Share what’s included (number of lessons, bonuses, outcomes)

  • Display refund/cancellation policies visibly

  • If it’s lifetime access, say it

  • If it includes coaching calls, explain when and how

“A clear offer builds trust. A hidden one builds doubt.” So price boldly. With heart. With strategy. With vision.


🛠️ Reflection Exercise

Before you hit publish, answer:

  1. Is your course pricing clearly explained — with no guesswork?

  2. Have you added at least one powerful free preview lesson?

  3. Have you tested each payment method personally or with a friend?

  4. Have you made it easy for your learner to say yes?

Write this final affirmation:

“I set my price with vision, with value, and with sacred clarity. My course is a blessing, and I’ve made the path to receive it simple and strong.”
