After receiving approval, Voilà!

Oh okay. I’m just trying to figure out how I’m supposed to set the price and amount of backers/“backed” for the group buy, or if it should be unlimited; just what the rule is for that.

We can adjust the participant fee later based on the course price. From what I've learned, the estimated contribution should be 10 to 20 times smaller than the course price. The number of participants acts as a multiplier to cover the course price.
