Create Course Seats#

A course seat represents an enrollment track, sometimes called an enrollment mode. For information about the enrollment tracks that edX offers, see the definition of enrollment tracks.

You create course seats by creating a course on the Create New Course page in the course administration tool, which is located at http://localhost:8002/courses/. After you create a course, the E-Commerce service creates the course seats that are associated with that course.
