In some cases, you are required to make a payment.

Updated over 7 months ago

According to the deal negotiated between your institution and Labster, you may have been asked to purchase access to Labster.

Depending on your school's agreement with Labster, there may be instances wherein only one payment option will appear on the loading screen.

If your instructor or the school confirmed that this is an error, please reach out to Labster Support to fix the issue.

Payment options

According to the contract between Labster <> your Institution, you can either be required to purchase access:

  • with a voucher code (the most frequent option)

  • by credit card

Payment by a Voucher Code

  • Purchase a voucher code from your campus's bookstore

  • Access Labster's simulation

  • Launch & load a simulation

  • Enter your voucher code (10-digit code) and click “Apply code”. Make sure there are no spaces before or after the voucher code when you paste it into the box, and you use all caps. Otherwise, you will receive an error message saying "Voucher Not Found".

  • Your voucher has successfully been applied and you are ready to play the simulation

Payment by Credit Card

  • Access Labster's simulation

  • Launch & load a simulation

  • Click Purchase Access > Pay by Card and enter your payment card details.

We use Stripe to process payments. It is a secure payment method that accepts the following payment cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Amex Card, Discover Card, and Diners Club.

Once the payment is successful: a receipt will be sent to your email address and you are ready to play.

Important Note: If you receive ZipCode Invalid

1 If you get a "Zipcode invalid" message, please make sure that you are using the correct zip code linked to your card. Or, you could also try using another card if possible.

2 If the payment failed, you will not be debited by Labster. The amount may be put on hold or "pending" by your bank, but it will be returned to your account

3 If you continue to encounter issues, you can try to clear the cache and cookies of your browser and use 'incognito mode' or 'private browsing' instead.
