Setting License Seat Quantity using Bright Metadata

It is possible to define a scenario using Bright where a single purchase of a product results in multiple license seats being created. For example, a user came to us where they wanted to bundle in a single product:

2 seats of one course
10 seats of another

For example, you could call this a "manager's special", get two manager trainings and 10 team members.

This can be accomplished using product level bright metadata and the

This is accomplished using the product custom field editor in WordPress:

In order to define metadata for a Bright course, the course must already be linked via the bright_course_id:

Linking a Product

If the product is not linked, the defined metadata is ignored.

No. Metadata annotates the product linked. If no metadata is found, the quantity will just default to a '1', for example.

Bright Metadata will need to be a valid JSON document. For example:

{
  "bright-courses": [
    {
      "course-id": "Intro539bd113-fa96-4977-8396-10fd0ef92f18",
      "quantity-multiplier": 6
    },
    {
      "course-id": "PRP01cd3391-bdde-4a90-a6be-1b2891109020",
      "quantity-multiplier": 6
    },
    {
      "course-id": "Auditorc6d58d43-0aa2-4f4a-88a5-6f11e5c0410b",
      "quantity-multiplier": 3
    }
  ]
}

For historical reasons, "quantity_multiplier" with an underscore is allowed, yet is deprecated and this functionality may be removed at a later date.

{
  "schemaVersion": "0.3",
  "bright-courses": [],
  "variations": [
    {
      "variationName": "Small Variation",
      "courseGuids": [
        "SmallCourseGuid",
        "ASecondCourseGuidForTheSmallVarition"
      ]
    },
    {
      "variationName": "Medium Variation",
      "courseGuids": [
        "MediumCourseGuid"
      ]
    },
    {
      "variationName": "Large Variation",
      "courseGuids": [
        "LargeCourseGuid"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Use the v.3 Bright Metadata Editor for assistance constructing a JSON document of this format.
