# Group Courses

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=558s&v=98LKgphFSCY>" %}

**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.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Group Courses** addon **does not** have a **discussion feature** within a group. It is **only** for **group purchases.**
{% endhint %}

To activate the **Group Courses** feature, follow **MS LMS > Pro Addons,** find **Group Courses** Addon, and enable it.

## Set Enterprise Course Price

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
To set an enterprise price for a course, edit any course with [Course Builder](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-theme-documentation/masterstudy-lms-pro-addons/broken-reference) by following **MS LMS > Courses > Edith with Course Builder:**

<figure><img src="https://2021837383-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MDO9V_qgvV5cQdw04iz%2Fuploads%2FMryq0JedX90CYIFQPgl2%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=679ebca5-fd9b-43fd-83d5-7dfd47c376e8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Move to the **Pricing** tab and find the **Enterprise Price (4)** field:

<figure><img src="https://2021837383-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MDO9V_qgvV5cQdw04iz%2Fuploads%2FbjDYaaWetf4TO8GScaOE%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=1a84ea7e-3c88-4054-b2d1-0be4582f1731" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Set the price and **Save** the changes:

{% hint style="info" %}
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).
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://2021837383-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MDO9V_qgvV5cQdw04iz%2Fuploads%2FMphMDwgm4j0QDWLEISff%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d2b4fe28-a0b9-478d-8911-ca8761ebcef3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Now on **the course page**, there will be a button that enables you to buy it for a group:

<figure><img src="https://2021837383-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MDO9V_qgvV5cQdw04iz%2Fuploads%2FEbHEZhs6MxVCMp4eRIse%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=0163b96a-9fa4-4c4c-a74f-394c4ad8c40b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
