Finalising an order requires you to set up the prescribed lists, user groups, link the prescribed lists to the user groups and then publish the prescribed lists. Once you have done so, follow these steps to complete your order and make payment through Snapplify.


It's time to finalise your order and make payment:


Before you get started

Accepted Payment Methods

Snapplify supports the following payment methods:

  • Credit and Debit Cards (Visa, MasterCard)

  • EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer)

  • Snapplify Vouchers

  • School account invoicing (where applicable)

  • Snapplify Credit

Placing your order in Engage

To finalise your order for a prescribed list of books:


Step 1. Once logged in to Engage, navigate to the prescribed lists by selecting ‘Textbooks’. Engage platform dashboard showing Textbooks section highlighting emphasis on Prescribed list


Step 2. From the "Published" prescribed lists, select the title of the prescribed list you wish to pay for. Filter menu: Showing Published tab highlighted to where the published prescribed lists can be found


Step 3. On the prescribed list page, you will be able to view the titles added to your list, as well as the user group associated with this list.


Purchasing books

Step 1. Once you have double-checked that your list and users are correct, select the 'Review Order' button at the bottom of the 'Buy' block.

Step 2. On the next page, you will be able to review your order. The total amount due is calculated based on 1) the costs of the items you're ordering and 2) how many users are linked to the associated group.

Note: The number of users who need a particular title may not match the number of users in the group if, for instance, some users in the group already own that title (this is updated automatically so that you don't purchase additional, unnecessary licenses).


Step 3. When you're ready, select the 'Complete Order' button. The total amount will be deducted from your institution’s account balance and your group's users will have full ownership of these titles.


We encourage you to finalise your order for digital books before 31 January, so that users maintain uninterrupted access to the digital resources they need.

Once payment has been made for digital titles, the Early Access period lapses and the ebooks are officially owned by the end-user (student or staff member).


Handling Failed Payments or Order Cancellations

If your payment does not go through:

  • Double-check your card or EFT details.

  • Try an alternative payment method.

  • Ensure your internet connection is stable during payment processing

Cancelling an Order:

  • Orders are cancelled if the EFT status has been pending for over 30 days and no proof of payment has been received for that order
