What is course bundling?
Course bundling is the practice of grouping related or complementary courses into a single package, typically offered at a price lower than the sum of individual course costs.
This approach serves multiple purposes in the online education landscape.
For students, it provides a comprehensive learning path and better value for their investment. For course creators, like you, it’s an effective way to cross-promote different offerings, increase the perceived value of their content, and potentially boost revenue per student.
Bundles can be themed around a specific skill set, career path, or knowledge area, making them attractive to learners looking for a more holistic educational experience. By leveraging course bundles, educators can differentiate their offerings in a crowded market, encourage students to explore a broader range of topics, and ultimately create a more engaging and rewarding learning journey.

Step 5: Manage and configure your course bundle
Click on the course bundle you have created to go to the course bundle landing page builder. This is how the landing page builder will look like.
Your landing page will dictate how your users will perceive your product so it’s very important to carefully curate this page.
Let’s take a look at each step mentioned in the landing page builder one by one.
a). First and foremost, click on “Define your product metadata”, this will open more controls for you as shown in the image below.
In this step, you can give your course bundle a good title, add a tagline and a good thumbnail.
There’s also an option for “product enrollment validity”, this lets you decide for how long you want your students to access the course bundle. You can choose from the options given to set an appropriate duration.
b) Set pricing for your course bundle
Fermion lets you set up custom prices according to your requirements. For domestic payments (within India), payment gateways like Razorpay, and PhonePe are used, which enable UPI payments, net banking, and EMI options for students, whereas payment gateways like PayPal, and Stripe are automatically enabled for international payments.
You can set up custom prices for every country using the currency option, as shown in the image above.
c) Add courses to your course bundle
This brings us to the most important part of the process – adding courses to your course bundle.
T
When you click on “Select a course”, a drop-down list appears in front of you which shows all the published courses listed under your school. You can choose what courses you wish to add to the bundle.
Once you add the courses, this is how it will look like:
You can always click on “Remove” to remove any course you wish to.
d) Publish your product landing page
Once you have added all courses to your course bundle, simply head over to the next step “Publish your product landing page” and click on “Publish product.”
Once you click on “Publish product”, your product will be listed on your website and available for your students to enroll. You can also find the link to the product in the same modal. In case you change your mind, you can always switch your product to draft mode.
How will students access my bundle?
Once any student purchases your course bundle, they will receive an email from your school regarding their login access and credentials.
All of your courses, which are a part of your will be individually available inside the student dashboard and they can continue their learning journey on each course.
