This article goes over how to purchase a course as a student.
Overview
Once you decide to purchase a course from a Teachable school, you'll first have to decide which pricing plan you want to purchase. If there is only one pricing plan, then you can click any enroll button on the sales page to bring you to the checkout page.
If there are multiple pricing plans, you'll have to choose which one you'd like to purchase.
Once you select a pricing option, you can continue to the checkout page by clicking the enroll button.
The Checkout Page
Once you're redirected to the checkout page, you’ll be able to add coupons, add a VAT ID (if applicable), as well as select which account and payment method you’d like to use to purchase the course.
Order Summary
In this section of the checkout page, you can review the course you are purchasing, and the final amount. If applicable, this is also where you would enter a coupon code or VAT ID.
If you have a coupon code, clicking the Add Coupon button will reveal a text field for you to enter your coupon code. Once applied, the pricing will reflect your new discounted price.
If you are located in a country where VAT is levied, the amount charged for VAT will be shown here. If applicable, you can click Add VAT ID to input your VAT ID number, which will in turn remove the VAT charge from your order total.
Student Login Details
If this is your first time purchasing a course from this school, and therefore you do not have an account already, the email address you enter here will be used to create your account.
After completing your purchase, you'll be prompted to input your name and create a password for your account. You'll also be sent an email asking you to confirm their account (more on that below).
If you already have an account in the school, enter in the email your account is under. Then, you'll be prompted to enter your account password. Enter in your password and click Log In.
Similarly, if you are purchasing a course from a myTeachable-enabled school and have an existing myTeachable account from an account in a different school hosted on Teachable, you'll be asked to input your myTeachable account's password.
