Lesson comments
Students leave comments on the exact lesson they're stuck on, so the context never gets lost. Every comment is moderated by you — nothing appears under your lessons without your say-so.
Comments live in the student portal on your own domain — moderation happens in your Chapters admin.
Lesson 03 · Pulling walls up
Maya · 2h ago
My walls keep collapsing once they get tall. What am I doing wrong?
Devon · 20m agoPending review
Same here — mine wobble as soon as I speed the wheel up.

Reviews & ratings
Only enrolled students can rate a course and leave a few words about it. The average rating shows with the course, so every student who finishes and loves it helps sell the next seat.
Lifecycle emails
Chapters sends the emails a school needs without you lifting a finger — from the first welcome to the reminder that brings a quiet student back.
A friendly hello when a student enrolls, pointing them straight to their first lesson.
Buyers without a store account get instructions by email — the purchase links up automatically the first time they sign in.
Lets a student know their assignment has been graded and where to see the result.
Automated reminders bring back students who've gone quiet — each one with an unsubscribe link built in.
The Insights dashboard flags students who need attention — one click sends a personal email nudge from you.
Inactive-student reminders carry an unsubscribe link, and personal nudges only go out when you click send. Students get help, not noise.
Welcome emails go out the moment payment lands, grading emails when you post feedback, and inactive reminders on their own schedule — nothing for you to trigger.
Push & PWA reminders
Your portal installs to a student's phone home screen — one tap on Android, a guided install on iPhone — with your store's logo as the icon. Installed students get push notifications, including a reminder 30 minutes before every live class and another at 5 minutes.
Glaze & Fire starts in 5 minutes. Tap to join from your lesson.
Glaze & Fire starts in about 30 minutes. See you there.
Student experience
Finishing a course is a habit. These details make tomorrow's session frictionless — and every one of them is built into your portal.
Videos pick up exactly where the student left off — close the tab on the bus, resume at the same second on the couch.
Students save the lessons they want to come back to, so the technique they'll need next week is one tap away.
A notebook inside the course that only the student can see — thoughts stay attached to the learning.
Quiz, exam, and assignment results in one place, so students always know where they stand.
Courses show up right inside the Shopify customer account students already use for orders.
The portal lives at yourstore.com/apps/courses — students sign in with their normal store account and never leave your brand. See the portal.

Students who need attention
Most students don't ask for help — they just stop showing up. The Insights dashboard keeps a triage list of enrolled students who've gone quiet, so you can bring them back while the course is still fresh.
Insights dashboard
One screen for the health of the whole business — enrollments, completions, watch time, and revenue — with 30-day trends and your most-watched lessons front and center.
