Storefront banner carousel, clearer billing currency, and calendar improvements

Here's what's new on Wise this week and how it helps your institute.

🏪 Storefront hero banners — carousel & richer design controls

You can now add multiple promotional banners at the top of your public store (and on the mobile learner home when your store is live with courses).

  • Set up: Institute → Store → Store Design → Hero and banners — upload up to 10 images, drag to reorder, and add an optional click-through link per banner.
  • Learner experience: Multiple banners rotate automatically (swipe on mobile); a single banner shows as a static hero.
  • Also in Store Design: a clearer branding section for background/text colors and your logo link.

Example: upload three banners — "Summer intake," "Meet our instructors," "Free trial lesson" — each linking to a different course or your website. Learners swipe through them when they open your store.

🌐 More reliable currency on fees & billing

Fee and billing flows now read currency from each payment plan, instead of a separate course-level field that could drift out of sync. This applies across course fees, 1:1 billing setup, finance views, and store payment plans, and reduces the chance of a wrong currency symbol or amount showing when your institute's default currency differs from a course's billing currency.

Example: your institute default is USD but a UK course bills in GBP — invoices and plan summaries now stay in GBP end-to-end.

📅 Institute calendar — session cards show the full time range

In week/agenda-style calendar views, each session card now shows its start and end time (e.g. 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM), not just the start.

Example: scan Tuesday's grid and see at a glance which sessions are 60 vs. 90 minutes, without opening each one.

💬 Consultation / demo booking — correct date in every timezone

Public consultation booking no longer shifts the selected calendar day when the visitor is in a different timezone from your institute.

Example: a prospect in New York picks September 15 — the booked slot stays on the 15th instead of jumping to the 14th or 16th.

🔍 Faster, more accurate filters

List filters using the shared filter bar (Learners, Fees, Sessions, Analytics, and more) now search your full directory as you type, not just the first page already loaded.

Example: filter sessions by an instructor whose name starts with "Z" — they appear even if they weren't among the first 50 names loaded.

📋 Post-session feedback & attendance — more reliable save order

When an instructor submits session feedback with attendance and credits, attendance now saves before feedback, so marks and credit deductions stay in sync.

🧾 1:1 pay-as-you-go billing — clearer billing cycle text

When setting up pay-as-you-go billing before an invoice start date is chosen, the plan summary now still shows the selected billing cycle (e.g. monthly) instead of leaving that line blank.

👪 Store registration — your custom "Parent" label

Course purchase and registration on the store now uses your institute's configured name for parents (e.g. Guardian instead of "Parent") in field labels and placeholders.

Smaller improvements & fixes

  • Learner home cover: store carousel banners only show when your store is public and has courses listed; otherwise learners see your normal institute cover, with no empty hero area.
  • Session lists: instructor session titles no longer show a trailing ", undefined" when a course has no subject field.
  • iPad: the student progress report layout no longer overflows horizontally.
  • iOS / Android app (whitelabel): fixed a broken bottom navigation in chats and a dialog layout issue in the native app shell.
  • Desktop header: removed the one-time "discovery" tooltip for the relocated header icons (chats, settings, notifications) — the layout itself is unchanged.
