Monetization
coob.app makes it easy to earn from your courses by allowing you to charge students for specific steps using virtual currency called Stars. Here’s a simple explanation of how monetization works and what the Transactions section does.
1. Setting Up Monetization
- How to make a step paid:
- Go to the Builder section and select the step you want to make paid.
- In the step settings, set the price in Stars (e.g., "1 Star for this step").
- Publish the step to make it available for purchase.
- How students pay:
- When students reach a paid step, they will see a button to Pay [Star Amount].
- Before confirming the payment, they will get a message like:
"Are you sure you want to buy [step name] for [Star amount]?" - After successful payment, the step is unlocked, and they can continue learning.
3. Transactions Section
The Transactions section helps you track all payments, earnings, and refunds. It has three tabs:
- All — Shows all transactions, including payments, refunds, and other actions.
- Incoming — Displays payments you’ve received from students.
- Refunds — Shows any refunds you’ve issued to students.
What a transaction looks like:
- Each transaction includes:
- The name of the step or transaction description.
- The student’s name and profile picture.
- The amount (positive for payments, negative for refunds).
For example:- +1 Star — a Star received for a paid step.
- -1 Star — a Star refunded to a student.
Example:
- "First Invoice by Stars Step" +1 Star from coob team (Jan 12, 2025, 16:38:52) — A student paid for the step, and you received a Star.
4. Benefits of Monetization
- Easy for students: Payments happen directly in Telegram, no extra tools needed.
- Full control: The Transactions section lets you track earnings and manage refunds.
- Flexible pricing: You can charge for specific steps or entire courses.
Refunds
- If a student requests a refund, you can issue it manually.
- Refunds will appear in the Refunds tab with a negative amount.
