Enabling Pay What You Wish

Written by Jennifer Barcelos

Pay-What-You-Wish (PWYW) is an exciting new payment option that gives your students the power to set the price of your products.

When enabled, the PWYW option enables teachers to set a suggested price and a minimum PWYW price. PWYW works on both fixed and recurring priced products.
​
For example, a product price could be set to a one time payment of $20.00 with a minimum PWYW price of $5.00. Students can choose to pay the full price of $20.00 or pay any amount over $5.00.


​

Configuration

To enable the PWYW option on a product:

1. Click on Products on the left then click on the product you'd like to edit on the right.
​

2. Click on Edit Product on the top right.
​

3. Go to the Pricing Tab and enter your regular price.
​

4. Next, click on Allow and enter the minimum amount and click on Save Product on the top right.
​

Student Experience

When students arrive at a checkout page of a product that includes PWYW, they will see the regular price of the product and a "Pay what you wish" field.
​

To use the PWYW feature, the student enters the amount of money they want to pay. If they enter a price lower than the minimum setting for this product, they will receive an error with some guidance that PWYW must be set higher than the minimum price.
​

Once a successful PWYW price is applied, the updated amount is visible in the summary on the right side of the checkout page.
