So you've created the course of your dreams with Thinkific, and set the perfect price point. However, you'd like to give access your course to a friend, or an affiliate partner, free of charge. No problem!

There are 2 ways you can provide free access to your paid course:

  1. Manually enroll the student

  2. Provide the student with a 100% off coupon

Manual Enrollments

You can manually create a user and enroll them into your paid course!

Tip

If you plan on enrolling multiple students at one time, also check out our Bulk Enroll feature!

For more, see: Manually Enroll Students into a Product · Bulk Enroll and Unenroll Students

Coupons

If you prefer to allow the student to enroll on their own, you can provide them with a 100% coupon code to your course! When you provide a 100% coupon, the student will not be required to input their credit card information.

Note

Not currently on a paid plan and looking to provide free access? If you are just testing out your site and don't require a paid plan just yet, you can temporarily set your course to free to allow your test student to enroll.
