How do I use the LifterLMS voucher system?

LifterLMS Vouchers let you create codes that give people instant access to courses or memberships. You control who gets in and how, without needing them to go through checkout. 

Coupons lower the price at checkout. Vouchers skip checkout altogether by giving access straight away.

When someone redeems a voucher, they’re enrolled instantly, with no payment forms or extra steps.

This system is highly flexible, allowing you to create a single code that can be used multiple times or generate hundreds of unique, single-use codes in a batch.

This works well for bulk enrollments, team training, in-person sales, or gifting access to students.

The redemption process is seamless for both new and returning visitors.

• If they’re new, they enter the code during registration and are enrolled immediately.
• If they already have an account, they redeem codes from the Student Dashboard, and the course is added to their profile.

If you are looking to create a discount for a course or membership instead of an access key, you will want to use the LifterLMS Coupon system. For detailed instructions on setting up discounts, please refer to our documentation on LifterLMS Coupons.

Vouchers are helpful when you want to give access without collecting payment details. They’re commonly used for bulk enrolments, schools, corporate training, gift purchases, and offline sales.

You can use LifterLMS vouchers in multiple scenarios:

• Bulk corporate or school enrollment: You can sell a large block of access keys to a school or corporation without needing every student’s personal details upfront. The organization manager simply distributes the codes, allowing individuals to register and enroll themselves at their convenience.
• Classroom onboarding: Instructors can generate a specific set of codes to distribute physically or digitally to students during class. This keeps things simple for students by skipping payment steps and getting them straight into the course.
• Offline or external sales: If you sell your courses at a physical conference or through a third-party marketplace, then you can use vouchers for these transactions. Customers can receive a code on their receipt or physical card, which they can later redeem on your platform to unlock their content.
• Contests and giveaways: Vouchers are the perfect mechanism for granting free access to winners of a lucky draw, raffle, or social media competition. You can generate a specific single-use code to email the winner, ensuring that only the intended recipient can redeem the prize.
• Gifting courses: Customers often want to purchase a course for a friend or family member, but do not want to set up the account on their behalf. You can provide a voucher code upon purchase, which the buyer can then forward to the recipient to redeem on their own device.
• Physical product bundles: Authors and creators can print unique voucher codes inside physical books or merchandise packaging. This lets you add digital bonuses to physical products, like a companion course or extra content.
• Gamified scratch cards: You can generate codes to print on physical scratch-off cards to create an interactive experience at trade shows or live events. You can mix winning and non-winning cards to create a fun giveaway that draws people to your booth.
