We’re happy to announce a handful of new features to give you more control of student information, automate more purchases and improve the appearance of your on-demand pages.
Purchase Triggers
This powerful new feature allows you to trigger one more subsequent purchases, after an initial purchase. For example, you might have an intro pass that automatically converts into a monthly membership. You can add multiple purchase triggers to a single pass, and you can daisy-chain automations together, giving you an almost unlimited number of options.
You’ll now see an “Automated Payments” page within the Payment Center category where you can see all upcoming automated purchases, all completed automated purchases, and any cancelled or failed purchases. Anytime a student has an automation, we’ll display this in the purchases section of their profile page, and if you need to stop it, you can simply remove the automation.
As for the student side of things, any time a student purchases a pass with an automation, we’ll let them know which pass will be purchased, and when it will be purchased.
We hope the power and flexibility of this feature gives our customers all sorts of creative options for automating the different ways your students can participate with your studio and communities.
Optionally Require Phone Number
Some of our customers really want to be able to require phone numbers when students pay or register with their studio, so we’ve now made this an option. We now ask for phone number, and you can optionally decide whether or not to require it. The only user that can make this change is the account owner, by going to the “Basic Studio Settings” page.
Profile Pictures for Instructors and Admin/Desk Staff
Last month we released our new on-demand page, which allows your students to more easily access your video library. Because not all videos have cover images right away, the initial page view experience isn’t always great. Now, you can upload a profile picture to your instructor profile pages, and if a video doesn't have a cover image, we’ll display the profile image of the instructor who recorded the class.
