Update course membership pricing
Learn how you can edit, remove, or add a new membership pricing option on Wajooba.
Based on the demand, technology used, and your marketing strategy, prices for your courses may change through time, commonly increasing. This helps your business grow to strive in the market and fund developments on the value you share to your customers.
We know that this requires a lot of time and thought to formulate with your team, so take your time to do so. Note that you can edit or update an existing pricing option, offer a new option to your customers, or remove and discontinue a pricing option.
We’ll help you how you can update the pricing for your course memberships.
Edit an existing pricing option
You can edit the details of an existing pricing option. This is good when you want to still use the number of sessions you offer or change the frequency of payments.
Here are the details you can update based on the type of membership you offer.
⚠️ Note that you can't change the type of membership to a different type. You may need to remove the existing option and add a new one instead.
| Unlimited membership | Session-based membership | Recurring membership |
|---|---|---|

To update the prices of your existing pricing options, follow these steps.
💡 Before you make changes, it’s best to unpublish the course so you can prevent new students from enrolling for your course using a discontinued pricing. This won’t affect the existing students who are already enrolled; they should have continued access to the course and its contents and discussions.
- From the Courses menu, select the course that you want to update.
- Go to the Pricing tab.
- Select the name of the pricing option you want to update.
Update the details of the pricing.
💡 You can also update the name, currency, inclusion of taxes and card fees, and its visibility on your website.
- Once ready, select Submit.
🎉 Great job! Congratulations on your new pricing.
As soon as you update the prices, it should automatically reflect on your website as well.
One-time and session-based memberships
The current membership will remain valid until its expiration date. After it expires and they opt to continue their access to the course, the new prices may be applied on the new membership they'll buy. If this happens, you'll need to change their active membership.
Recurring memberships
The current membership will continue to be active in its original price. You have to re-process the purchase and change the membership before the next billing cycle to update the prices for each student.
Add a new pricing option
If you want to offer a new pricing option to your members, you can do so. Follow these steps.
- From the Courses menu, select the course that you need to update.
- Go to the Pricing tab.
- To add a new pricing option, select the plus ➕ icon from the upper right corner of the page.
- Add a new paid course payment option for your members. We created a separate guide on how you can set up paid memberships on your course. Make sure to check it out!

- Go to the Pricing tab.
- Find the pricing option you want to remove and select More Options⠇.

Repeat the same steps until you remove all the pricing options you want to discontinue.
