Publish a group

Coursebox gives you flexible options for publishing your groups, depending on how you want to manage visibility, access, and monetisation. Whether you're building an open community, running a private cohort, or offering exclusive paid content, there’s a publishing method to suit your goals.

You can publish a group in three ways:

• Public Group – open to everyone and easy to discover

• Private Group – accessible only by invite or admin approval

• Paid Membership Group – requires a monthly subscription for access

Publish a Private Group

Only people added to the group will be able to see it.

• Go to your Group and select Publish from the arrow down.
• From the drop-down choose Private.

Publish a Public Group

Anyone can find and join the group without approval.

• Go to your Group and select Publish from the arrow down.
• From the drop-down choose Public.

Publish a Group with Paid Membership

You can charge users for access to your bundle (or group) content on a recurring monthly basis by following these steps: 

Step 1: Edit Your Bundle or Group Settings

• Go to your Dashboard

• Navigate to the Groups tab and select bundle (e.g., Bundle One) you want to monetise.

• Click the gear icon (⚙️) next to the title.

• Select Edit from the dropdown menu.

⚠️ Important: Before setting a membership fee, you must first connect your Stripe account.

• In the Membership Fee field, enter your monthly price (e.g. 29.00).

• Select your currency from the dropdown (e.g. USD or AUD).

• In the Additional Tax field, add any VAT/GST percentage (e.g. 10.00 for 10% GST).

Use the Description box to explain what members get for their subscription. You can format the text using the toolbar above the box.

Example:

Access to all premium training content, monthly webinars, downloadable templates, and discussion boards.

• Groups: Tick "Anyone can post" if you want members to contribute to discussions.

• Broadcasts: Set how often email broadcasts are sent. For example, if set to 1, members will receive an email for every post.

• Default Notifications: Choose if All users or only Admins will receive updates by default.

• Force Acceptance of Terms: Tick this box if you want members to agree to your terms before joining.

• Click Save to apply your changes.

• You can now Publish the bundle and share it with your audience for paid monthly access.
