PayPal integration

PayPal is one of the most popular and reliable payments gateways in the world. With Course Manager you can easily connect your PayPal account with your website, so all the visitors can pay with their credit cards securely online.

Auto Status updates

You can track a status of each booking you received. If you are using online payments then PayPal will change the status of a booking immediately for you just after it debits the owner’s credit card.

Improved nested Categories

In the latest Course Manager, we have brought nested categories, so you are not limited with Joomla’s sections and categories. On top of that you can assign any course to multiple categories, so having e.g. Statistics class under a category Finance and Business is not an issue anymore.

Configurable through parameters

There is a longer list of parameters which gives greater flexibility to administrators. Any screen settings can be configured here through standard Joomla parameters. Set what you really want to display or which parts of a webpage should stay hidden.

Email templates

Every company has a different text to send to their attendees when a booking is submitted. Therefore having an editable email template is a must. And with an ability of using variables in the texts makes the Course Manager top solution for your communication with your customers.

Tags

There are now more ways to organize your courses. Along with the categories you can use custom Tags. A new Tag field type allows you to create Tag-based custom field. Tags allow you to organize your information using keywords. Tags shown in listings are clickable which will list all listings having the same tag.

Improved User interaction

Adding favourites, user’s bookings listings and automatic registration upon the booking submission, all these features helps the visitors to use your website and interact with your content.

Language support

Course Manager can be configured to use other language. Simply translate the English language file and you're ready to go. It cannot be easier!
