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! We have detailed instructions on how to do that here: Manually Enroll Students into a Course

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

Coupons

If you prefer to allow the student to enroll on their own, you can provide them with an 100% coupon code to your course! When you provide a 100% coupon, the student will not be required to input their credit card information. Learn how to create coupons here: Create Coupons 

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.
