Products

Overview

LearningCart makes it easy to sell your products, no matter if they are online training courses, webinars, classroom events, or physical products. Creating and managing your products is quick and easy. 

To add or edit new product select the Manage Products link from the Storefront section of the left navigation menu. You can then select the Add Product link in the top right-hand corner or select Edit next to the product you want to edit. 

For a comprehensive walk-through of adding a new product, see Building a Product.

Product Settings
For each product in LearningCart additional information can be added to provide further customization.

This information is accessible when editing a product or immediately after adding a product. The information is grouped underneath a series of tabs on the Edit Product page.

To complete the configuration of your product, simply click one of the following heading tabs:
 

  • Categories
    The Categories tab controls what categories/subcategories a product will appear under. Expand this section for more information.

     

    Any product in the LearningCart system can be assigned to one or more category/subcategory combinations. You must add at least one category and subcategory to your product to complete the configuration of a product.

    To add a product to a category, select the appropriate category from the drop-down list and then select the desired subcategory. Click the Add button to save your changes.

    To remove a product from a category, click the Delete button next to the category association you want to remove in the Product Categories table.

    For more information on creating categories see Managing Categories.

  • Price/Events
    LearningCart allows you to assign multiple price points and events to a single product. Expand this section for more information.

     

    During set up of a new price / event, you will encounter the following fields:

    Price Name: The name of the price that will be shown to users. It is recommended you use a descriptive name so users understand the option they are selecting (e.g. 1-month access, 6-months access, CD, DVD, etc.).
    Unit Price: The price that will be charged.
    Generate Registrations Codes: If this is a virtual product (e.g. a digital file or SCORM module), setting registration codes to “Yes” will allow the purchaser to purchase multiple seats for their users. Upon completing their purchase, the purchaser will gain access to a series of registration codes (1 registration code for every seat they purchased) that they can distribute to their users. These registration codes will allow users to visit the LearningCart site, create an account, and access the appropriate content. Note - if 1 unit is purchased it will automatically be assigned to the purchaser. If greater than 1 unit is purchased, all units will be provided as registration codes.
