Kano Store (v. 2.4.1. to 2.4.2) Release Notes

About This Release

The Lambda Suite is specifically designed to help you sell more eLearning, and this release is another step towards helping you maximize your revenue.

Login as Customer

You can now log in as your customer on the Kano Store to instantly see their view and hep them troubleshoot any issues.

Customer Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Either as a required login option for everyone or allowing individual users to enable two-factor authentication, your users will have a greater sense of security knowing their information is protected.

Purchasing Rules

Products can now be configured with purchasing rules to offer you better control over when users can purchase you products. The three "rules" options include defining prerequisites (e.g. they must purchase the Introduction course before they can purchase the Advanced course), equivalencies (e.g. they cannot buy the English course if they have purchased the French course), and preventing duplicates (e.g. they have already purchased a course, and thus cannot purchase it again). 

Course Extensions

Products that are linked to Courses and are sold with a valid Enrolment End Date can be configured to also offer course extensions that allow your users to purchase more time. Configurable options also allow you to decide when your users can purchase extensions, how often, how much more time they can purchase, and how much those extensions cost.

Square Payments

We have added an option for you to choose Square for your credit card processing, with full support for payments, refunds, voids, and cancellations.

Student Cancel

You can enable (per product) the option for students to cancel a course purchase and receive a refund. You can configure the availability of this option with a certain number of days, and any applicable administrative fees to be subtracted from the refunded amount.
