How learners buy a paid course
Who this is for: Learners, and staff who want to know what learners experience
Buying a paid course works one of two ways, depending on whether your platform has the shopping cart switched on.
| Shopping cart | What learners do |
|---|---|
| On | Add courses to a cart, then check out |
| Off | Buy each course directly |
Your administrator sets this under Platform Settings > Features. See How to turn platform features on and off.
