Capability 10 · Commercial Portal
A public storefront that never adds a user to your bill.
Publish a storefront for the courses you already teach. Guests can register for a class or buy an online course without ever becoming a billable user on your account — only a deliberate promotion to a full account counts against your plan, and you see the cost before you agree to it.
The problem
Most course marketplaces charge you for the very people you are trying to sell to — every buyer becomes a “user,” and every user can move you up a pricing tier before you have recovered a cent of the sale.
Compared
What you get elsewhere, and what you get here.
What you get elsewhere
- Pay for another user on your account the moment a public buyer checks out, whether or not they ever come back.
- Two separately managed systems — a storefront bolted onto the LMS — meaning more administrative work just to reconcile them.
- No middle ground between a one-time buyer and a full paid seat, so growing your audience always grows your bill.
- Refunds, coupons and invoicing handled by a different vendor than the one who ran the course.
What you get from Qaliber
- Public registration and guest checkout at no extra charge — a buyer registers and pays without ever becoming a billed user.
- One integrated system delivers courses to internal employees, external buyers, or both, managed seamlessly instead of bolted together.
- Turn a guest into a long-term user with one click, whenever you decide they should have full access — never automatically, and the screen shows the exact number of billable users you will have afterward before you confirm.
- Accept payment the way that suits the buyer: a hosted payment link, your own connected Stripe account, or “send me an invoice” for buyers who pay offline, confirmed by an admin the moment it lands.
- Coupons, seat minimums and priced add-ons run in the same checkout — no separate cart system to maintain.
- Every purchase becomes a real record on your LMS — an enrollment, a class seat, or online access — not a separate database bolted on beside it.

A purchase becomes a real seat immediately, whether it was paid by card, by invoice, or is still awaiting one. Only a deliberate promotion turns a guest into a billable platform user — and the cost is shown before it happens.
"Guests only become billable users when you decide to make one — and the system shows you the cost before you do."
