Frequently asked questions
Will changes affect already-linked learners?
No. Changes only affect new links. Already-linked learners must first be unlinked and then re-linked. Any discount or exemption previously granted will be lost on unlinking.
Can I delete a payment option that has history?
No. If any transactions or history exist on the payment option, it cannot be deleted.
