There are two ways to pay for bulk voucher orders: in arrears (only paying for those which are claimed) or, for larger orders, in advance (all payment up front).
| In arrears | Up front | |
| Minimum order | 5 | 5 |
| Cost per enrolment | Cost of upgrade (varies) | Fixed cost |
| Payment | Invoiced monthly for 12 months depending on upgrades claimed | Payment for full amount in advance |
Payment in arrears
The cost per course depends on the cost of purchasing the course on which it has redeemed, minus any discounts that have been applied to your bulk voucher code order.
So for example, we saw in the earlier example that the original cost of the course Lifestyle Medicine for Mental Health Services: Life and Mind was £243 GBP.
If you have chosen to pay in arrears then once a voucher code has been redeemed on this course we will charge that course purchase cost + VAT to your organisation. We charge, in arrears, via invoice on a monthly basis for each voucher which has been redeemed that past month.
If no voucher codes have been used that month, then no charges will be raised and no invoice will be issued.
We do not specify on which courses your voucher codes have been redeemed when we send your monthly invoice. If you are keen to have more of an oversight of what courses your learners are enrolling on, and what progress they are making on those courses then our Learning Manager or Unlimited for Business options may be more appropriate. You can read more about them here- Learning Manager demonstration and here - Unlimited for Business walkthrough.
Payment in advance
If you need to pay in advance, we will need you to first specify which course/s your learners will be purchasing with the voucher codes you are ordering and in what currency. Once you have signed our voucher purchase agreement, we will then arrange an invoice to be created, which is calculated on the purchase cost of each course multiplied by how many enrolments you wish to purchase (minus any discounts agreed on for your order). Once that invoice is paid, the voucher codes will be sent to you to distribute to your learners.
How do discounts work for bulk voucher code orders?
Our standard bulk purchase discount is 10% off the cost of each course purchased via voucher, which is only offered for orders of 10 or more voucher codes.
So if you made an initial order for 100 vouchers, and 5 vouchers were redeemed in a month then you would be charged for the cost of all 5 of those course purchases minus the 10% discount, plus VAT.
We have other discounts available for schools, registered charities and prisons.
What currencies can we pay in?
We can invoice for voucher codes in AUD, EUR, GBP, INR, and USD.
