How do I use Udemy credits?

When do credits expire?

You can view your Expiry date on your credit history page.

Please note: If you don’t use your Udemy Credit within the period of time set by your state, country, or other governing body’s unclaimed property laws (typically around 3-5 years, although these periods vary), we may process any amounts due to you in accordance with our legal obligations. This may include attempting to notify you of any unused credits and reporting and escheating (in other words, sending) those amounts to the appropriate governing body as required by applicable laws.

Can credits be put on hold?

No. Udemy.com is set up to automatically apply Udemy credits to your next course purchase, regardless of the expiration date, until all your account credits have been used.

Can credits be applied to the Udemy mobile app?

Udemy credits cannot be applied to purchases on the Udemy iOS mobile app. 

Depending on your location, some course purchases on the Udemy Android app will be processed by Udemy.com’s checkout. In this case, you may be eligible to use Udemy credits if your checkout is redirected to Udemy.com. However, in-app purchases through the Android app are ineligible for credits to be applied through the Google Play payment system. 

How can I check my account’s credits?

After logging in to your Udemy account,  you can check your account’s credit information by navigating to your Udemy credits page.

You can also access the page by scrolling to your profile icon and clicking Udemy credits.

Can I purchase a Personal Plan subscription using credits?

At this time, credits can only be used for course purchases. They are not able to be used when purchasing a Personal Plan subscription. 

Can I gift Udemy credits?

• View our frequently asked questions on sending gifts.

Will credits be applied to a gift purchase?

Yes. Udemy credits in your account will also be automatically applied to a course you purchase as a gift. 

Please note: Udemy credits are not transferable to other accounts through refunds. If a gift purchased with credits is refunded, the credits will be returned to the original sender's account.

Promotional code credits

I received an additional promotional amount with my gift code 

Udemy or our partners may run certain campaigns, during which you may receive a promotional amount with the purchase of a gift code in a single code. The gift code amount is equal to the amount paid to purchase the code. The promotional amount is the additional unpaid value that you may receive in Udemy Credits on top of the gift code amount, as detailed in the campaign. 

When you redeem the single code, the gift code amount will be applied to your account. The expiration date of the promotional amount can be found on the code’s redemption page or the Udemy credits page.

How do I redeem my Udemy credits from a promotional code?

If you have received an email for a gift or a promotional code, click on the redemption link in the email to redeem your credits. Once you have redeemed the code, the credits will be added to your account.

Can I request a cash refund for a gift or promotional code before it’s redeemed for Udemy credits?

If you have purchased a gift or promotional code from a third-party vendor, you will need to contact that vendor directly, for information regarding the company’s refund policies. 

What if I lose my gift or promotional code for Udemy credits?

If you lose your gift or promotional code, please contact the retailer where the code was purchased. Since the initial transaction did not occur on the Udemy platform,  we do not have access to the necessary information and cannot offer additional assistance.

Can I redeem more than one promotional code for credits? 

Generally speaking, promotional code campaigns are limited to one code per person. Additionally, if you qualify to receive more than one promotional code as part of separate campaigns, only one promotional code can be redeemed for credits, until you have applied that first set of credits towards a course purchase (or until the first set of promotional credits expire).

At Udemy, we understand that transparency in billing is important and that unexpected charges can be frustrating. This article explains international transaction and currency conversion charges, and why they may occur when purchasing courses on Udemy.

• Review answers for the more frequently asked questions we receive regarding currencies, and how currencies are assigned to Udemy accounts.

Why you may see additional charges

Purchases made on Udemy are done so via one of our supported currencies. For example, our Brazilian customers will see prices in Brazilian reais (BRL), or Peruvian Sol for our customers in Peru. While Udemy charges customers in their designated currency, there are instances where you might see an additional charges on your credit card statement. Here's why:

Currency conversion: Some transactions on Udemy are processed through our designated payment processors, which may use currencies like USD or EUR. This can lead to currency conversion if your credit card company processes transactions in a different currency. Your credit card company may charge a foreign exchange fee in such cases.

Cross-border transactions: Another scenario where additional charges can occur is when your credit card and Udemy are registered in different countries. Even if the currency used in the transaction matches your local currency, your credit card company might apply an international transaction fee.

If you notice these aforementioned transactions in your banking information and have additional questions about them and why they were applied, please reach out to your financial institution for more information.

How to minimize additional charges

While some additional charges may be out of our control, you can take steps to minimize them. 

Consider using a credit card that allows you to hold multiple currencies. Such cards often offer better exchange rates and lower conversion fees. We recommend contacting your financial institution if you have more questions regarding how to minimize these charges.

Still have questions?

If you still have questions about billing or additional charges, please contact your financial institution or Udemy Support.

Learners will, however, gain access to their courses, immediately after they make their first instalment payment, at the time of the initial purchase.

Here is an example of a payment schedule if you made a purchase on Udemy, totalling $100:

• $25 is due at the time of the initial purchase. 
• Two weeks later a second $25 payment is due.
• Four weeks later a third $25 payment is due.
• Six weeks later, a fourth and final payment of $25 is due.

If the required funds for the installment payment are not available, or the payment is not made when it is due, late fees may apply. Please contact Afterpay or Klarna directly for more information. 

The buy now, pay later options are not operated by Udemy, and as a result, our support team cannot reschedule payments or adjust the amount owed. 

I’m encountering an issue making a payment on the Afterpay or Klarna platform. What should I do?

Since Udemy Support does not have access to your accounts on these platforms, please contact Afterpay or Klarna for assistance.

• If you request a partial refund additional payments may be due, depending on the amount that is being refunded and how much has been paid towards the initial purchase.

2. Next, click Preview This Course on the right-hand side of the page
3. Now you’ll be able to watch a handful of lectures selected by the instructor

Reviewing course information 

You can also review key information about the course on the course landing page, which includes the following sections:

What you’ll learn?: this section is a summary of what the course will teach you.

Requirements: these are the prerequisite knowledge or tools, if any, you will need to take the course.

Description: a detailed explanation of what the course covers and why you should enroll.

Featured review: the course landing page  may also include a Featured review, which highlights a positive experience a student had with the course.

Course content: you can review a list of each lecture title, and any other curriculum items the course includes (quizzes, assignments, practice tests, etc). The entire course length, including non-video lectures, is also posted at the top of the section.

Instructor: this section is where instructors share information about themselves, as well as their experience and expertise. If you click on the instructor’s name, you will be directed to their profile page, which also includes icons for all the courses they teach.

Student feedback: in the Student Feedback section you can see ratings and reviews students have submitted for the course, which may help you decide whether the course is right for you. 

When students take a course they are asked what they would rate the course from one to five stars. In the ratings section, you can see what the rating for the course is, and sort through reviews based on their rating, by clicking on the corresponding number of stars.  

Please note that instead of using a simple lifetime average, Udemy calculates a course's average star rating by considering a number of different factors such as the number of ratings, the age of ratings, and the likelihood of fraudulent ratings. 

Below the ratings are the reviews students have submitted for the course. Reviews include comments from the student about the courses, as well as their rating for it. As a result, student reviews can be very helpful in helping you determine whether the course will meet your educational goals.

In addition, this section may also include a Featured Review, which highlights a positive experience a student had with the course.

If you have issued two boletos for the same course, but have paid for one of them, then no further action is required. You will be able to access the course.  

If you haven’t paid for either boleto, however, then you will be unable to start the course until you have paid for one of them. Once you have paid one boleto then you can ignore the other one.

If you have paid for two boletos for the same course, however, then please contact Udemy Support to initiate a refund. The course purchase price will be refunded by issuing Udemy credits directly to your Udemy account.

Can I choose the due date for my boleto?

No. Once you have issued a Boleto Bancario for the course we recommend paying the boleto within 5 days to prevent it from expiring. If the boleto expires, however, you can get another one for the course or use a different payment method to gain access to the course.

In addition to our other payment methods, students located in Brazil can make purchases on Udemy using Pix. This article outlines how you can use Pix on Udemy.

How to make purchases with Pix on Udemy

Please follow the steps below to use Pix as your payment method on Udemy.

1. During the checkout process, click on “Pay with Pix”, and “Proceed” at the bottom of the page.

2. You will then be redirected to an Adyen payment landing page. You will be asked to input your First Name, Last Name, and CPF/CNPJ, along with additional payment information.

3. Once you confirm your information, a QR code will be generated in another window. Using this QR Code, you can navigate to your banking or wallet app participating in Pix. 

4. Once you have successfully scanned the QR code, or pasted the QR code data, you will be redirected to confirm payment.

5. After Udemy receives confirmation that your payment has been completed, your course(s) will appear in your My learning page. Generally speaking, this should not take longer than 30 minutes. In some cases, however, it may take longer before the transaction is processed. If you notice your Pix payment is still pending after 24 hours, please contact Udemy Support and provide a receipt showing that the Pix was paid, so we can assist you further.

When your course(s) will appear in My learning

Please note that you will not see the course you have enrolled in your My learning, until you have successfully paid for the Pix payment. Pix purchases work similarly to boletos in that the transaction expires after 5 days if the payment is not completed.

• We recommend paying your Pix as soon as possible so that you can access your course(s) within the first 24 hours of purchase. If you continue to experience a delay in enrollment 24 hours after your purchase, please contact our support team with proof of purchase to be further investigated.

What if the Pix transaction expires?

If your Pix transaction expires, you can generate a new Pix QR Code or use a different payment method to purchase your courses.

Udemy never stores your full credit or debit card information in our systems. Instead, we work with credit card payment processors who are certified under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

When you enter your credit or debit card details on Udemy, that information is sent directly to secure databases maintained by these payment processors, who then complete the transaction. That partner will then provide us with a portion of the stored information (such as the last four digits of your card number) to help do things like document your purchases and label your saved cards.

During this process, our partner will also provide us with a randomly generated alphanumeric ID called a "token". This token allows us to reference a saved card during future transactions, even though we don’t have the full card number on file ourselves. Because we store a token instead of the full credit card number you originally provided, there is no way for anyone who is logged in to your Udemy account to obtain your full credit card information from within your account. In addition, there is no way for a third party to reverse-engineer a token ID to obtain the credit card information.

The currency is initially set based on the location of where your Udemy account was created. By default, learners who do not have one of our supported currencies assigned to their Udemy account will see prices set in either EUR or USD.

All instructors, regardless of location, have the option of setting a new course price in any of Udemy’s supported currencies.

How can I see what currency is assigned to my account?

The currency assigned to your account will be indicated in the course prices you see when you search for courses on the Udemy marketplace. Please be sure that you’re logged into your Udemy account, however, so that the correct currency is indicated.

In addition, if you’ve purchased a course before, you can also see what currency is registered for your account by reviewing receipts in your Purchase History.

Why have I seen two different currencies at Udemy.com?

Please be sure to log into your Udemy account to see the currency assigned to your account. If you are traveling or are using someone else’s computer, then the currency you see might be based on the device’s current location or that person’s account, rather than your own.

In addition, if you’re using the Udemy mobile app, please remember that the app features currencies supported by the Apple App Store and Google Play, and can differ from Udemy.com.

I noticed my country’s currency is available on the mobile app but not on Udemy.com. How come?

As noted above, Udemy’s mobile app features the currencies that are supported by the Apple App Store and Google Play.

How are you calculating exchange rates?

Udemy uses a country-specific price tier matrix to determine a learner's localized price. The matrix will be updated periodically based on market conditions.

What taxes are charged for Udemy courses?

Learners who reside in regions that collect transaction taxes like VAT, GST, or other types of sales taxes may be required to pay a tax when they make a purchase on the Udemy platform (Learn more).

Why is the currency at checkout different from the currency assigned to my account?

Some banks and financial institutions will not authorize international payments in certain currencies, and as a result, the purchases are processed in another currency at the equivalent price.  For example, a learner in Brazil may see prices displayed in BRL but pay in USD, if they choose certain payment methods at checkout. 

If you have any additional questions regarding your financial institution's restrictions or policies regarding this, we recommend you contact them directly for more information.

Does Udemy charge any currency conversion fees?

Udemy does not charge any currency conversion fees when you purchase a course. 

If you purchase a course in a currency that’s different from your payment method’s currency, however, your financial institution or the third-party payment processor may apply a currency conversion rate or fee. 

Please contact your financial institution or payment provider for information on what conversion fees may apply.

Learn more about international transaction fees and currency conversion in certain countries.

Udemy has a legal obligation to collect applicable transaction taxes including VAT (Value Added Tax), GST (Goods & Services Tax), or other types of sales taxes, for purchases, which may vary depending on a student's local, state, and country jurisdiction. This article includes answers to frequently asked questions we receive regarding taxes for Udemy purchases.

Who has to pay transaction taxes on Udemy purchases?

Students who reside in regions that collect transaction taxes like VAT, GST, or other types of sales taxes may be required to pay a tax when they make a purchase on the Udemy platform. Taxes are calculated based on a variety of factors such as account and billing information. 

Udemy reserves the right to change this policy to be in compliance with tax requirements at any time.

How can I preview how much transaction tax will be charged?

During the checkout process, any applicable taxes will be included in your order total before you are charged. The tax amount that was charged will be indicated in your receipt and the tax rate will be reflected in the transaction’s invoice. 

Depending on the region you live in and the tax being collected, tax will be included in the display price or included in the total. For example, students purchasing courses in tax-inclusive countries will see the tax included in the course price. So, if the course is priced at £19.99, then the student would pay £19.99 for the purchase. 

Students purchasing courses in tax-exclusive countries will see the tax displayed on the checkout page as “Estimated Tax”. 

Where can I see how much transaction tax was charged after I make a Udemy purchase?

When you complete a purchase on Udemy, you will be sent a receipt via email, which will break down the purchase price and taxes separately. The amount you paid will be shown on your receipt beside Tax.

Where can I get an invoice?

You can quickly access an invoice for your purchase one by heading to the Purchase history in your account.  Learn more about Udemy invoices.

Is it possible to get receipts without the transaction tax amount that was charged shown? Or can Udemy remit the transaction taxes I paid?

Due to legal obligations we must show the amount of tax that was charged for each transaction. We will not be able to remove tax amounts from receipts. As Udemy.com is a business to consumer website, we are not able to remove references to taxes from our receipts or invoices. 

If a customer wants a receipt or invoice without taxes included because they are a business and therefore do not pay taxes, they would need to sign up for a Udemy Business account. If you are a business that is interested in the Udemy Business platform, you can learn more here.

What are Udemy’s Taxpayer Identification Number and VAT ID?

Udemy’s Taxpayer Identification Number is 27-1779864. Our VAT ID is EU372008054.

Refunds to your original payment method may take 5 to 10 business days before the funds are posted to your bank account, or longer, depending on your financial institution and location.

• Learn more about our refund policy.

Why did I not receive Udemy credits for my gift refund?

If you are receiving a credit refund from a gift, please check with your gift sender if your Udemy course was gifted using credits. If so, the credits will be returned to the sender.

Please note: Udemy credits are not transferable to other accounts through refunds. If a gift purchased with credits is refunded, the credits will be returned to the original sender's account.

How can I get a Udemy coupon or a discount code?

Udemy coupon codes come from promotions Udemy routinely runs on the Udemy website, www.udemy.com. These coupon codes are automatically applied to eligible courses and subscriptions when you select them for checkout.

We frequently run promotions on the platform. To help keep track and to make sure you don’t miss a sale, we recommend confirming you are subscribed to promotional emails in your notification settings.

• Learn how to review your notification settings for promotional emails.

Instructors are another source of coupon codes as they can create and distribute coupon codes for their own promotions.

What’s the difference between a Udemy coupon code and an instructor coupon code?

Udemy coupon codes come from regular promotions run on the Udemy platform. These are automatically applied to qualifying courses or subscriptions. If you are subscribed to marketing emails from Udemy, you will receive email notifications on when these promotions are happening.

Instructor coupon codes are generated by the instructors themselves. They usually share these codes using various channels such as promotional announcements or via their personal social media accounts. 

Please note that these two types of coupon codes, set individually by either Udemy or the instructor, may not always offer the same discount or be valid for the same time period. To determine if you are using an Udemy or instructor coupon code, please check within the course landing page.

You can also review the label on the coupon code during checkout.  

If there’s no visible discount or coupon code, that means the course is being offered at its standard price.

How do I use a coupon code on Udemy?

You can redeem Udemy coupon codes during checkout.

If you’re using Udemy coupon codes from a Udemy sale or promotion, they will auto-apply to eligible courses and subscriptions at checkout.

If you have an instructor coupon code, you can enter it into the coupon code field and click Apply (Learn how). If the instructor provided you with a direct link containing the coupon code, clicking on it will automatically apply the code to your cart. Remember to review the checkout page before clicking checkout to make sure you have applied all your coupon codes.

Please note: 

• Currently, coupon codes are not supported on our mobile app. 
• Not all instructors have opted into Udemy promotions. So, some courses or subscriptions may not be eligible for a coupon code if they are not part of the ongoing Udemy sale.
• Gift codes can also be redeemed in the same way as a coupon (Learn more).

Why is my Udemy coupon code not showing?

There could be several reasons as to why your Udemy coupon code may not be showing in the cart:

• If you are having problems with your shopping cart, please view our troubleshooting steps for website issues.
• Coupon codes are currently not supported on our mobile app. If you are using the Udemy mobile app, please log into Udemy.com on a browser. (Learn how)
• For Udemy coupon codes that are part of a limited time promotion, please check to make sure the promotion has not ended.
• Udemy promotions can vary in length and scope, and not all sales apply to our entire marketplace. Not all instructors have opted into Udemy promotions, so some courses may not be eligible for a coupon that is part of an ongoing Udemy sale.

Why did the discount price change for my course or subscription?

Courses: Learn more about course pricing and why you may see a different price for a course.

Subscriptions: Learn more about our pricing for the Personal Plan subscription.

Why do I see “sorry, this course is not included in this promotion” when I try to redeem the coupon code?

Instructors create and manage their own courses on Udemy. As such, they can decide if their courses will be included in Udemy’s promos and sales. If you encounter a notice saying a coupon code cannot be redeemed for a specific course, most likely it is because the instructor chose not to opt-in their course. However, most instructors on Udemy do opt-in to our Udemy’s promo program, so you’ll likely be able to use the coupon code for a similar course that is participating. 

• View our Help Center article on searching for courses on Udemy.

Keep in mind that Udemy promotions may not always apply to every course and can vary in length. Every sale is unique!

How long are coupon codes good for?

Udemy coupon codes: If you have a coupon code that’s part of a Udemy promotion, then the coupon code can be used on eligible courses or subscriptions until the promotion ends. 

The duration of specific Udemy promotions may vary. Some promotions may run for several days, while others may run for multiple weeks. In addition, the maximum amount of redemptions for coupons can vary, depending on the coupon or the promotion.

Instructor coupon codes: Like Udemy codes, coupons provided by instructors may expire or reach a maximum number of redemptions. Our coupon system allows instructors to generate different types of coupons with varying expiration windows and redemption limits. 

We expect our instructors to communicate the specifics of each coupon they distribute, but if you're unsure about the terms of a coupon code an instructor has provided for you, we advise asking them directly.

Why can’t I enter coupon codes on the Udemy mobile app?

The Udemy mobile app features payment systems for Google Play (Android) and the Apple App Store (iOS), and as a result, there is currently no way to redeem a Udemy coupon on those platforms. Instructions on how to enter coupons or gift codes at Udemy.com are posted above.

I recently purchased a course but now have a coupon code that will discount the course price to lower than what I paid. What can I do?

Can instructor coupon codes be used on Udemy subscriptions?

As instructor coupon codes are generated for their course promotions, they cannot be used on Udemy subscriptions.

This article answers the most frequently asked questions we receive regarding pricing for Udemy courses.

• View our frequently asked questions about Udemy coupons.

Frequently asked questions

• Why did the price change for my course?
• Is my course a one-time purchase?
• How can I get a Udemy coupon or a discount code?
• Does Udemy offer subscriptions?
• How are you calculating exchange rates? Does Udemy charge currency conversion fees?
• Do I have to pay taxes when I purchase a course?

Why did the price change for my course?

Udemy’s goal is to help match learners to the right course at the right price, and occasionally that may result in different promotions for the same course. For example, promotions may be run that target different regions, markets, or prospective learners. To see the latest Udemy promotion that’s available for your account, please be sure that you’re logged in. In addition, instructors can also run independent promotions for their courses if they wish.

Further, when purchasing courses via our mobile app, depending on your device, location, and what country your Udemy account is registered in, your payment options may include Apple App Store and Google Play. 

• Please note: Udemy does not have control over the price tier structure provided by these platforms. As a result, the course price listed on the mobile apps may differ slightly from the course price posted on Udemy.com. This is because the pricing matrix for these mobile providers will select the price tier that is closest to the course price set by the Udemy instructor, but they do not always match up exactly.

Additionally, courses on the mobile app may have a different price listed during a sale, because there is no way to enter coupon codes on the Udemy mobile app like there is on the web version of Udemy.com. 

If you encounter a price discrepancy on the mobile app, and have a coupon code to discount a course, please enter the code on our web version at www.udemy.com. Once you have purchased the course at Udemy.com you will also be able to access it on the mobile app.

Is my course a one-time payment?

Once you have completed a purchase for an individual, marketplace course, you can learn at your own pace and you will not be charged for the course again. You will have lifetime access to the course material as long as you continue to have access to your Udemy account, and Udemy continues to have a license to that course.

How can I get a Udemy coupon or a discount code?

Does Udemy offer subscriptions?

Yes. In addition to purchasing individual, marketplace courses, eligible learners can also enroll in our Personal Plan subscription offerings. Learners enrolled in a subscription will have unlimited access to the subscription’s content, as long as they are paying the subscription fee. 

• Learn more about Udemy’s Personal Plan.
• Learn how to sign up for a Udemy subscription.

How are you calculating exchange rates? Does Udemy charge currency conversion fees?

We are using a country-specific price tier matrix to determine a learner’s localized price.  The matrix will be updated periodically based on market conditions.

Udemy does not charge currency conversion fees when you purchase a course. However, your financial institution or the third-party payment processor may apply a currency conversion rate or fee (Learn more).

Do I have to pay taxes when I purchase a course?

Learners who reside in regions that collect transaction taxes like VAT, GST, or other types of sales taxes, may be required to pay a tax when they make a purchase on the Udemy platform. Taxes are calculated based on a variety of factors such as account and billing information.

• Learn which taxes may be charged for course purchases.
