Material Policies & Delivery
This page explains how Material policies work, when to use each one, and how they impact student checkout.
Material Policies are set when you Create a Course Offering.
They determine:
- Whether a Material is selected by default or chosen by the student
- Whether the price is included or added at checkout
Choosing the right policy ensures:
- Students are charged correctly
- Material requirements are clear
Every Material you attach to a Course must use one of four policies:
- Optional
- Included
- Required (Waivable)
- Required (Bundled, Non-Waivable)
Policy 1 — Optional
What it means
- Not included by default
- Student can add it via a checkbox
- Price is added only if selected
- Functions as an upsell
