Fayne prices courses individually. Each course’s Access setting has three options: Free, Paid, or Members-only. There is no academy-wide pricing switch: you decide course by course, so free, paid, and members-only courses can live side by side in the same academy. You set it in the course’s settings, or for all courses at once from Sell → Course pricing, and you can change it at any time.
A free course is open to everyone in your academy. There is no price, no checkout, and no enroll step: students open the course and click Start Learning.What you need:
  • No Stripe account required
  • No checkout configuration
Good to know:Free courses work well as a lead magnet, a value-add for coaching clients, or an introductory course that leads into your paid ones. Whether your academy is open to anyone or invite only is a separate setting (see below).
Use a free introductory course to build trust before pointing students toward a paid flagship course in the same academy.

​
Beyond single courses

Individual course pricing is the simplest layer. To sell several courses as one product, or your whole catalog, create an Offer: bundles get their own product page and storefront card, and the Academy Pass covers everything you publish. Bundles and the Pass can be sold one-time or as a monthly (or yearly) subscription. Offers can also be free (lead magnets, cohort access via Lists).

​
Course pricing vs academy access

Two settings work together but are separate:
  • Course access decides what each course costs: free, a one-time price, or members-only.
  • Academy access decides who can join your academy at all: Open (anyone can sign up) or Invite only (students join by invitation). You set this in Settings.
The two combine freely. An invite-only academy can sell paid courses to its invited members, and an open academy can keep some courses members-only.

Changing a course’s access

You can change a course’s setting at any time, from its settings or the bulk Sell → Course pricing table. Students who already have access keep it: purchases are permanent, and grants stay until you revoke them. A price change only affects new purchases, and switching a paid course to free lets new students start it without paying.
The course settings show which bundles and the Pass a course is included in, so you always see every path into it before changing anything.
