Description
The Storefront enables flight schools and organizations to sell online ground school courses and products to users who have access to FSP. Powered by FSP’s embedded payments, users can self-service the purchase of ground school courses to power their training or purchase items for physical pickup at your organization. There are three sections to the storefront: Online Ground School, the Pilot Shop and Pilot Resources.
Online Ground School Courses: A permanent home for self service payment links. Students can now purchase online ground school courses on their own time, get access to the course and connect their FSP account in minutes. With a built in prevention of duplicate purchases, a student cannot accidentally purchase the same OGS course that their school has already given them via the traditional invoice flow or a package with auto billing.
Pilot Shop: Add single priced products and services to the storefront for users to purchase. Images can now be uploaded on the product and service and will display in the storefront to aid the end user in their purchase experience.
All product and services need to be picked up at the operator, no fulfillment or inventory exists today.
Pilot Resources: Schools can now control which pilot resources they want their users to see. Pilot resources now live in the storefront.
If you do not have Payrix, they will only have the pilot resources section.
