How to Enroll Members Into Your Course or Membership Program
Give access to your paid or free course

Last Update 10 months ago
Within ShinePages, members can be enrolled into your Course (or Membership program) in two ways:
1) BY PURCHASING THE COURSE
Your clients/students can purchase a "Membership" type product from your site - which will automatically make them a "Member" of the Member Group(s) that you have created and set within that Product's set-up screen. Upon checkout they will be prompted to create their Login info with email & password.
Once they are a part of the Member Group, they can "login" to your site and see any of the content pages you have set as "Members-Only" for their Member Group.
This comprehensive "How To Create a Course" course is a great resource and will lead you step by step thru the Course (or Membership Program) Creation process on ShinePages. Check it out HERE!

2) BY GETTING ACCESS FOR FREE
If you'd like to give access to your Course/membership for Free - you have two options:
1. You can manually add your Contacts to the particular Member Groups you've created
By doing this - the person will be prompted via email to create their own Login info with email & password. (or they can visit your Login page and click "forgot password" to set it)
Once they are a part of the Member Group, they can "login" to your site and see any of the content pages you have set as "Members-Only" for their Member Group.
2. You can use the Login/Registration Widget to have people sign themselves up*
You can set this widget to allow Registrations, select which Member Group you'd like people to be added to upon Submit and then route-them to the appropriate page after. The person themselves will create their Login info with email & password upon sign-up.
Once they are a part of the Member Group, they can "login" to your site and see any of the content pages you have set as "Members-Only" for their Member Group.
*NOTE: If the Contact is ALREADY A MEMBER OF ANOTHER "MEMBER GROUP" on your Site - and thus has already "Registered" - they will not be able to use the Login/Registration widget to be added to a new MEMBER GROUP.
HOW TO ADD PEOPLE TO MULTIPLE MEMBER GROUPS:
Two Options:
a) As the site owner, you can manually add them to the Member Group(s) you'd like from within their Contact Record - Click "Manage Groups" and select the Member Group or Groups they should be included in.
OR:
b) Have the contact purchase a "Membership" type of product from your store. All Membership type of products will automatically add the customer into the chosen "Member Group" you have set up within the Product upon purchase.
If you need them to have FREE access - you would create a $0 Membership product and they can simply complete the Checkout process, paying nothing.
