Simple tools for online class registration to get the job done quickly, saving time and money

We know you're busy, so we've spent countless hours building simple, yet powerful tools to help programs like yours to connect with their students. Whether you offer in-person or online classes, here are just a few features we offer to help you save time and money.

It starts with online registration that’s impossibly simple for your registrants.

We designed CourseStorm to be straightforward and easy to use so you won’t lose students on the way. It takes just a few clicks from start to finish, to increase your enrollments with no additional work on your part. We also created a streamlined process for you to handle refunds and universally transfer students between classes, even if it’s a different price.

Payment Processing & Direct Deposit

CourseStorm takes care of everything for you. There’s no merchant account to set up and no bank to talk to. We deal with all the technical details like security certificates, encryption, PCI compliance, and merchant accounts, so you don’t have to.

We deposit the funds right into your bank account and email you a receipt complete with all the details. With flexible payouts, you receive monthly, weekly, or daily deposits with the ability to control how much money you keep in your account to cover refunds. We’ll even take care of cancellations and refund money back to students for you automatically.

Making education accessible is at the heart of our company.

So whenever we see an opportunity to help you increase your reach, we jump at the chance. That’s why we designed an impossibly simple registration process to increase enrollments, created payment plans to make pricier classes more approachable, offer built-in email marketing at no additional cost, and have automated best practices like enrollment warnings and abandoned order reminders to cancel fewer classes.

Sometimes you need to register more than one person. With group registration, it’s easy to add other people to your circle of friends, any of whom can be added to your registration with a single click.

Whether it’s a crew of best friends or coworkers in the office, CourseStorm’s group registration is quick and efficient. And, if you cater to families, your parents will love how simple it is to keep everyone under a single account.

More than 50% of website visits are made on mobile devices. If your site’s not ready, these visitors won’t stay long. Luckily, we’ve designed a first-rate experience for mobile users, no app required.

No matter what smartphone or tablet they use, your students will be able to browse your offerings and register seamlessly on the go.

What’s a great registration experience if you can’t get the word out about your classes? We’ve built email tools right into CourseStorm that make it easy to announce your new catalog or a new, fantastic class people will love.

It takes just two clicks to send an email to all of your students and give them the latest news about your program. No lists to import and no extra newsletter program needed. You can also send an email to just one class roster to manage weather cancellations, changes in location, or provide information about what they’ll need to bring, with ease.

Personal Automated Marketing Tools

You can also choose to use our automated marketing. Our intelligent recommendation engine will send personalized recommendations to individual students based on their past registration history with your program. Plus, we’ll send reminders when class is about to begin and abandoned cart reminders when a student has forgotten to complete a transaction they started.
