E-commerce Properties in the Intellum Platform

This article provides an overview of the E-commerce properties in the Intellum Platform and walks you through basic use cases that demonstrate property management in Intellum E-commerce.

E-commerce properties

Intellum E-commerce makes setting up fee-based access to Activities and Groups on the platform easy.

E-commerce for Content

The E-commerce property is available in the Enrollments tab of content Properties. Users can purchase one-time access to specific content, like a certification exam or learning path.

E-commerce for Groups

Similarly, an E-commerce property is available when creating a new group. E-commerce can only be added to Manual groups.

Groups help you customize and gate your user experiences and content delivery. With e-commerce added to a group, you can offer users or organizations access to custom learning experiences - like streaming events, training workshops, or a catalog of learning resources - and managed through group restrictions.

The E-commerce property cannot be retroactively applied to existing groups or removed once the group is created. In both cases, you'll need to create a new group.

When you enable E-commerce for a group or activity, the platform creates a new Product in Intellum E-commerce.

Updating E-commerce Products

After initial setup, any change to e-commerce-enabled products or prices must be completed within Intellum E-commerce.

Products let you define and update the purchase price, price variance, and other options for each e-commerce-enabled item in your account.

Things to note:

• After saving, the E-commerce property for activities can only be disabled or updated to change the expiration period for access (in days).
• After creation, the E-commerce property for groups can only be updated to change its expiration period for access. (in months).
• Once enabled, E-commerce cannot be disabled for a Group.

Enrolling Learners in E-commerce Courses

You can enroll learners directly into E-commerce courses (scheduled or unscheduled), bypassing payment if you decide a learner doesn't need to pay to access a course. Simply check the box next to Bypass Payment when enrolling the learner.

You can apply this Bypass Payment setting in bulk updates by leveraging the API or CSV Enrollment Import to set Payment Bypass to True or False on an enrollment.
