Payments, Coupons, Bundles, Earnings
Commerce makes the LMS commercially usable in sandbox mode: free/paid/private courses, coupons, bundles, invoice checkout, student payment history, instructor earning ledger, payout requests, and AI revenue insights.
Workflow
- Teacher/admin configures free, paid, bundle, subscription-placeholder, or private pricing.
- Student checks out; coupon validation returns structured eligibility reasons.
- Captured sandbox payment grants course or bundle enrollments idempotently.
- Instructor ledger calculates net after coupon discount and commission split.
- Instructor requests payout; admin approves, rejects, marks paid, or holds/reverses on refund.
Routes
| Screen | Route | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Commerce console | /lms/commerce | Revenue, invoices, payments, coupons, bundles, earnings, payouts. |
| Student payments | /student/payments | Own invoice and receipt history. |
| Instructor earnings | /instructor/earnings | Available balance, pending earnings, payout requests. |
AI Commerce
AI suggests pricing, coupon campaigns, revenue summaries, and instructor earning insights. Suggestions remain drafts and never change price, coupon, payout, or ledger records automatically.
