Catalog Overview - Selling Seat Access in the Dashboard

The dashboard has a built-in catalogue system which allows users to purchase seats via a simple checkout flow.

Important: The dashboard does not integrate with any payment processors; instead, you can assign credits to teams and their associated organisations, and those are used as the currency of the dashboard. For example, you could top up a team by a dollar or euro amount, or use a token system. For the purposes of this documentation, we will assume a 'credit' is any unit which can be used to describe the price of a seat, for example, 10 seats is 50 dollars, 25 seats is 25 tokens, etc Therefore, when a user places an order, their account is debited the amount shown.

How It Works

In the dashboard, you can create products in a catalogue. These products are assigned to Thinkific products, e.g. Courses and Bundles, and have associated seat information. For example, a user could purchase 25 additional seats for a course by simply buying the '25 Seat' product you have created:

How Credits Are Used

When a team purchases a product from the catalogue, the system first uses any credits assigned to that team. If required, it then deducts credits from the associated organisation(s) until the purchase is paid in full. When refunding, either partially or fully, the process is reversed in the order in which credits were deducted, e.g., Organisations first.
