Masteriyo 2.1.0 & PRO 3.1.0: Cohorts, Multi-Group Pricing & UX Improvements

Today, we’re excited to announce Masteriyo 2.1.0 and Masteriyo PRO 3.1.0—an update that brings cohort-based learning, flexible group pricing, and significant improvements to the learning experience.

Cohort-Based Courses

Run your courses in scheduled sessions with specific start and end dates. Masteriyo PRO 3.1.0 introduces Cohorts, giving you complete control over when students can enroll and when courses actually run.

How it works:

Navigate to Course → Settings → Schedule & Access and enable Cohort Mode. From there, you can set:

• Enrollment Period: Define when students can register (open and close dates)
• Course Duration: Set when the course officially starts and ends

Perfect for:

• Bootcamps: Run time-bound training programs with fixed start and end dates.
• Season courses: Launch courses at specific times of the year.
• Corporate training: Schedule mandatory training sessions for teams.
• Limited-time programs: Create urgency and exclusivity with enrollment windows.

This feature transforms Masteriyo into a complete cohort-based learning platform, ideal for instructors who want more structure and control over course delivery.

Multi-Group Pricing Options

Sell courses to teams and organizations with flexible, tiered pricing. While Masteriyo has always supported basic group pricing (fixed seats at one price), Multi-Group Pricing takes this to the next level.

What’s new:

Create multiple pricing groups for the same course, each with its own:

• Group name
• Group Leader
• Seat limit
• Custom pricing:
  • Fixed Pricing: Set one price per group regardless of the seat count in the group.
  • Variable Pricing: Pricing changes based on the number of seats purchased.

Examples:

Let’s say you’re selling a corporate training course:

• Small Team (1-5 seats): $500
• Medium Team (6-10 seats): $900
• Large Team (11-20 seats): $1,500

Buyers see all options upfront and choose what fits their needs. The group leader can then add team members up to the purchased seat limit.

Perfect for:

• Corporate training and professional development
• Educational institutions with different class sizes
• Team-based skill development programs
• B2B course sales

This feature makes it easier to capture bulk sales while offering flexible pricing that scales with group size.

Learn Page Enhancement

Your students deserve a distraction-free, focused learning environment. We’ve updated the learn page with usability and mobile-friendliness in mind.

What’s improved:

• Full-Width Top Bar: The course name, progress bar, and light/dark mode toggle now span the full width, making each section distinct and easier to navigate.
• Better Readability: Increased font sizes in the course navigation sidebar mean less eye strain and faster content scanning.
• Sticky Navigation Buttons: Previous, Next, and Mark as Complete buttons now stick to the bottom of the screen. Students can navigate without scrolling back up—especially helpful on mobile devices.
• Improved Comment Section: The comment section UI has been refreshed for clearer conversations and better engagement.

The result? A cleaner, more intuitive learning experience that keeps students focused on what matters, your content.

New Order Summary Shortcode

Take control of your post-purchase experience with the new Order Summary shortcode.

Use [masteriyo_order_summary] to redirect students to custom thank-you pages with order summary after checkout. This opens up opportunities for:

• Upselling related courses: Recommend complementary courses immediately after purchase
• Personalized welcome messages: Create a warm, branded post-purchase experience
• Community invitations: Direct new students to your community or support channels
• Next steps guidance: Help students get started with clear onboarding instructions

This small addition gives you significant flexibility in shaping the student journey right after enrollment.
