Make a course private and only accessible via the direct course link
If you want your course to be private and only accessible via the direct course link, follow the next steps.
Under your Share tab, publish your course and turn off the toggles for "Publish on my web pages" and "Publish on Cademy".
Only consumers with whom you will share this link will be able to access and book this course.
Change the course address/link
Sometimes the web address can look too long or include too much information, so we offer you the option to edit your address and keep what is essential to be visible.
Click on a course from the courses list on the home page and then click on the "Edit" button at the top right. You can edit your course link and click update from the Share tab under the Course Link section.
⚠️ IMPORTANT! If you used this link somewhere before you changed it, the old link will no longer be valid and will not redirect you to your course.
We recommend changing the link before sharing it on emails or social networks.
Apply a voucher to a link
Besides the standard method of creating and distributing promo codes, Cademy allows you to apply a promo code directly to a link you can share. Anyone who accesses this link will have a pre-entered promo code at checkout.
Click on a course from the courses list on the home page and then click on the "Edit" button at the top right. You can create or apply an existing voucher from the Share tab under the Course Link section.
