Paying for Courses in Genius+

Introduction

Genius+ makes it possible for learners to pay for their courses before they can complete the registration process. In this article, we will discuss the different ways that you can pay for your courses - and how you can make use of discount and voucher codes to take advantage of any offers put in place by your organization as part of its learning initiative. 

Paying for Courses

Paying for your courses in Genius+ is easy. When you are ready to checkout, you can click the Proceed to Checkout button on the top right-hand side of the Course Catalog to view and confirm your Shopping Cart. If any of the courses you selected have a price associated with them, a collapsible menu item will appear on the bottom right hand of your screen:

You can use this menu to choose the payment method you would like to use to complete the registration process. Below, we describe the different payment options that are available to you from within the platform: 

Paying with a Purchase Order / Mailing a Check

The first option available to you is to send a document to the organization responsible for the courses that you will take part in. This document can be a purchase order or a check. Select the Mail a Check option in the payment menu. Instructions for delivery will appear below the selection menu as shown below:

 

Credit Card Payments

The second payment method available to you is to make use of a credit card to pay for your course via a Web site. To do this, select the Pay via Website option in the payment menu. Genius+ will display the forms required to complete the payment via credit card below the selection menu as shown below:

Internal Chargebacks/Charging your Department.

The last option available to you to pay for your courses is to charge your department or perform an "internal chargeback". Genius+ makes it possible for you to keep track of the affiliation in your organization. 

• Affiliations can replicate your organizational hierarchy - for example, making it possible for you to be grouped along with the rest of your colleagues in the Sales department in the Eastern territory of the North America region, for example. 

This payment option makes it possible for the department responsible for training, for example, to charge back the costs of your chosen courses to your own department. Your manager and administrator can provide you with more detailed instructions about which option to use when paying for your courses. 

To select the Internal Chargeback option when completing payment, select the Charge my Department option in the selection menu as shown below:

Genius+ will notify the individuals responsibly and ensure that they are notified of your intention to enroll in their course. 

Discount & Voucher Codes

Your organization may have used discounts as part of the marketing strategy put in place to create revenue around its learning content. Genius+ makes it possible for you to take advantage of this as a Learner by making it possible for you to apply a coupon or voucher code to get a discount when paying for your courses. 

To apply a voucher code, simply type in the code on the space titled Coupon Code on the middle right-hand side of your screen. Click Apply and Genius will validate your coupon code and apply any discounts to your pricing. You will see the change in the pricing in the Total Amount listed in the middle left-hand side of your screen. 

In this example, the MyGeniusTrialCoupon voucher code results in a 1% discount applying to your courses. Coupon codes can cause either absolute (for example, $20 dollars off your purchase) or relative (percentage-based) discounts applying to your purchase. 

Below, we show the results of applying the MyGeniusTrialCoupon to this purchase:

Once you have applied the discount, you can proceed with payment of the courses as normal - by selecting a payment method and then clicking on the Make Payment button on the bottom right-hand side of your screen.
