Overview
Teacher Coupons are a great way to drive interest in your classes on Outschool! Use the Coupons tab in your dashboard to create custom coupon codes for families. Families can use the coupon code you’ve created to take a specific dollar amount off the class price when they enroll.
Creating Coupons
Follow the steps below to create a coupon.
From your Teaching Dashboard menu, select Coupons from the dropdown. By default, the coupon page lists active coupons. You can use the Active Coupons menu to view All Coupons or Inactive Coupons.
Click on the Create Coupon button
Fill in each field to create your custom code. The code generated will begin with your first or last name and end with the dollar value of the code. A random string of letters and numbers will first appear in the middle of the code, which you can customize with letters or numbers of your choosing.
You can set the description of the code (for your reference only), the code validity date, the value, and whether the code is applied to one, multiple, or all of your classes. Remember that classes on Outschool must be a minimum of $1, even after a coupon has been applied.
After creating your code, it will appear with the discount details and a template you can use to share directly with families.
Redemption Details
Below the template to share with families, you’ll see details about who redeemed the code, for which class, and when.
This may be helpful in keeping track of coupon usage with your learner families.
Sharing with Families
You can share your personal coupon codes with families in the Outschool classroom, in conversations with parents, or on social media. You may also include your generated coupon codes on your public teacher profile and/or in a course description as long as the code applies to that specific class. Teachers may not include Outschool sponsored coupon codes or links in their classes, or class descriptions.
Families can use your coupon code whether they are paying out of pocket or using membership credits. If a member enrolls using credits, your coupon will reduce the total number of credits needed based on the coupon’s dollar value.
When a family enrolls in class using your coupon code, the code applied will display in the corresponding "new learner" email you receive for the enrollment. Please note that for weekly enrollments, the coupon will apply only to the first subscription charge, and families will pay directly with their credit card or Outschool balance (if applicable) for weekly charges thereafter.
