The Group Courses add-on in MasterStudy LMS is a powerful feature designed to simplify selling courses to groups of students usually at a discounted rate. Perfect for enterprises, organizations, or teams, this option allows course creators to set a special group price directly in the course builder, making it easy to offer bulk discounts. By catering to group enrollments, this feature not only increases sales potential but also provides excellent value for larger audiences looking for cost-effective learning solutions.
The Group Courses addon does not have a discussion feature within a group. It is only for group purchases.
To activate the Group Courses feature, follow MS LMS > Pro Addons, find Group Courses Addon, and enable it.
To open the add-on settings, click on the gear icon in the Group Courses addon on the pro addons page or follow MS LMS > Enterprise Courses:
Number of allowed members in a group - set the maximum number of members allowed to join a group
To set an enterprise price for a course, edit any course with Course Builder by following MS LMS > Courses > Edith with Course Builder:
Move to the Pricing tab and find the Enterprise Price (4) field:
Set the price and Save the changes:
Make sure to set a discounted enterprise price when using the Group Courses feature. It is not mandatory but recommended as it is the main goal of the feature. For example, if a course costs $62.90 for a one-time payment, three students purchasing it together could pay a total of $149.90 instead of $188.70 (the regular price for three individual purchases).
Now on the course page, there will be a button that enables you to buy it for a group:
Purchasing a course for the course is a straightforward action. On the course page, click on the Buy for Group button:
If the student did not buy the course with a group before, he can create a new group by clicking the Create Group button.
Enter the Group name and add the student emails that you want to buy the course with and click on the Create Group button:
The maximum number of students in a group here will be inherited from the addon settings.
Now we have a group to purchase the course. After the group creation, you will be redirected to the first step: group selection. Here you can add another group as well. But now we have a group. Choose the group and proceed by clicking Add to Cart button:
Complete the checkout:
That's it. You will be redirected to the order page after the successful checkout:
Only one member of the group will buy the course for a group. Other members will automatically get access to the course.
Students can manage the groups they created in their dashboard by following the Groups tab:
Only the Group Admin (the one who created the group) can access the group settings. The group will not be visible on other students' dashboards.
On the opened page you can see the students list with the list of courses that students bought with this group. Here you can also change the Group Admin or remove the student from the group:
New Group creation can be done here as well:
The process is the same as we did here.
You can rename the group or kick the students from the group. After completing the modifications click on the Edit Group button:
Once the student is removed from the Group, he will also lose access to the purchased course content.
After your confirmation, the group will be deleted.
First of all, you need to create a CSV with your group details. You can download the sample CSV here:
On the Groups tab, click on the Import Groups (csv) button and select the .CSV file:
After the file selection, click on the Create Groups button:
Groups successfully imported:
Admin also has a special Enterprise Groups tab in his dashboard:
On this tab, the admin can add, delete, and modify the groups on a website.
By clicking the eye icon, you can see the detailed info about the Group:
To edit the group, just click on the pencil icon:
To delete a group click on the icon:
