Part Payment
TrainerCentral allows you to charge your course fees in terms. You can also configure the percentage of the fee that has to be paid in each term.
For example, consider a course called Communication Skills, which is offered for $100. You can configure the percentage that you wish to collect in the three monthly terms. For instance, you may mention 20% in the first month term, 50% in the second month term, and 30% in the third month term. Now, your learners have to pay $20 during the first month, $50 in the second month, and $30 in the third month.

Each transaction requires a manual payment process as auto debit is not involved in the process.

FAQ:
1. What happens when a learner misses a payment?
When a learner misses a term payment, their access to the course is blocked and is restored once they pay (along with the cost of the missed terms) for the respective term. For example, if a learner fails to pay for the second and third terms, they will be required to pay the combined cost of the second and third terms, along with the fourth term's amount, in their fourth term payment. After this payment, they will gain access to the course.
2. What happens when a course is unpublished or taken offline?
When a course is unpublished, a learner will not be charged for the respective term. For example, if there are five terms, and the course is offline during the second and third terms, then the learner will be charged only for the first, fourth, and fifth terms.
