Customizable registration forms that convert

Universities run a mix of public-facing short courses, CPD programs, executive education, and internal training. Each has its own enrolment and payment rules, and Arlo is built to handle that complexity.

  • Customizable registration forms with dropdowns, eligibility rules, and application processes
  • Support for multiple payment gateways including Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Windcave & more
  • Waiting lists, abandoned cart follow-up, and discount codes for different audiences

  • Automatically generate and email certificates on course completion
  • Send renewal reminders for licenses or CPD requirements
  • Connect with survey tools like SurveyMonkey so certificates are issued only after evaluations are complete
  • Offer flexible delivery options: printed, PDF, or digital credentials
