How to Automate Course Fees and Bursary Discounts in HubSpot

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on how to best structure this in HubSpot.

Issue:

Right now, our Fees property is a text field, and it’s causing several issues such as blanks or incorrect manual entries.

Context:

Each course has its own fee, and the amount changes every year. On top of that, there’s a bursary discount that varies depending on region or circumstance (e.g., 10%, 20%, etc.).

Goal:

We’d like to get to a place where:

Each course has its own set fee.
A bursary % can be applied automatically to calculate the final fee.

Has anyone implemented something similar in HubSpot? Would this be best handled through custom properties and calculated fields, or would a custom object for “Courses” be more suitable given that prices change yearly?

Any advice or examples of how others have structured this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Hi @DDias72 - do you use HubSpot's product library? That can easily solve this problem for you.

It has a discount field as well, which can be unit-based or percentage-based.

Hope this helps - https://knowledge.hubspot.com/products/create-and-manage-products?hubs_content=knowledge.hubspot.com/products/how-do-i-use-products&hubs_content-cta=use-the-new-product-library

Or feel free to dm me 🙂

Hi @RVyas9, thanks for getting back to me! We don't currently use the product library but I will definetly take a look and see how it can fit with what I want to achieve.

Thanks again for getting back to me!

Best,

Daniel
