This is such a great huge perk for us sellers! Thanks so much for letting us know @Helen , and a huge thanks to everyone from the team who made it happen!

This is so awesome! Our team will definitely be taking advantage of this. 

How would we go about offering similar discounts of our own products to the Square Community? Should we contact Square marketing? We'd like to offer huge discounts of our online Spanish classes!

Wow @Tico_Lingo that is awesome that you would even consider it! Did @Helen get you connected to their team yet? I would love to take the class when it becomes available to us!

Thank you so much! I am a partial self-learner and seeing skillshare I have been on the fence about trying it because I know some people like to do a lot explaining where I myself learning by watching and doing it myself. So I thought skillshare may be a great idea. Thanks for helping me make the decision.

@Tico_Lingo I'm very glad to hear this will help you and your team! Yes if you'd like to let your customers knoww about discounts or new courses with your customers you could use Square Marketing to send an email campaign.

@TarahTotts Let us know what courses you take and if you find some that you enjoy! 😊

Seems like a generous offer but my concern is that this platform is actually decreasing tremendously the value of online classes. The price is just too low and it literally really going to hurt entrepreneurs who may be using square to sell classes themselves. 10/mo for all the classes you want? What is this China???? That's really going to hurt the little guys if this takes off. Not cool at all. I just read over the royalty share - 30% of profits split between all the teachers based on how many views they got - really honestly seems like they are ripping teachers off. Another big tech company hurting small businesses.
