New Features & Enhancements
Over the past few months we have been working hard here at Engage to implement a completely new administrative experience along with a long awaited improved event registration workflow. This release represents a big step in transforming our platform into a more modern experience for all users. We are super excited to get this into your hands for some feedback!
This new experience will roll out to a select few customers for beta testing before being fully released to all customers.
This new UI includes:
- A modern interface redesigned to prioritize commonly used features, making navigation smoother and more intuitive.
- Reorganized workflows that allow easier access to viewing and managing information, reducing the need to switch between different sections.

- A completely redesigned user profile page and added contact detail pages, allowing you to view and edit all relevant information about a user in one convenient location.
- Customizable terms and refund policy are now available under the Event setup
- New customizable payment options are now available under Event setup

8.2 Version: Release Notes, August 25th, 2023
New Feature
- Dynamic pricing based on roster/classroom size is now available. Pricing can be configured as follows:
- Coach/Teacher pays the fee while creating their team/class and the fee is based on the participant price multiplied by the number of participants (players/students).
- Example: The participant price is $10 and the team/class has 25 players/students. Therefore the Teacher/Coach pays a fee of $10 x 25 = $250
COMING IN THE NEXT RELEASE:
- The player/student pays the fee based on the team/class price divided by the number of students/players.
- Example: The team/class price is $1000 and the Coach/Teacher registers & creates the team/classroom and sets their roster at 20 students/players. Their fee for creating the team/classroom is $0.00. Then when a student/players registers, they would pay $50. The $1000 team/class fee divided by the roster of 20 = $50.

New Features Added for All Products
New report showing the Batched transactions for customers using Stax. With the Stax as the payment processor, Stax will send over batch deposits based on a frequency the customer dictates. This report will show those deposits so that the accounting team can match them up to the bank statement.
Added functionality so that if a Stax installment payment fails, the system will automatically retry it. Previously, if an installment payment was unable to be processed, nothing happened. An administrator would have to manually try to re-run it. Now, the system will automatically try to rerun it until it succeeds.
