Selling courses to EU residents and concerned about VAT compliance? If so, read on! Earlier this year, new rules came into force in the European Union (EU), obliging anyone selling a digital product to a buyer based in an EU member state to charge the Union’s Value Added Tax (VAT) at the rate of the buyer’s country. With 28 states charging 75 different tax rates between them, this is no small feat. Not only do you have to figure out the correct tax to charge, you then need to store two pieces of evidence showing where your customer is located for the next 10 years. But never fear! We’ve integrated with Quaderno. Thinkific’s latest integration with @quadernoapp allows you to forget about the hassles of VATClick To Tweet Quaderno recognizes your customer’s location and automatically generates a beautiful invoice with the correct tax; making billing your customers in the EU a breeze. It’s transparent, easy to use, and pleasing to the eye. Quaderno allows you to forget about the hassles of VAT compliance, so you can focus on providing great online courses. And even better, Thinkific customers get 50% off the Quaderno subscription price during the first three months! Sounds good? All you need to get started is: A Thinkific site, integrated with your Stripe account. A Quaderno account. These two-minute instructions to help you complete the setup. And that’s it…you’ll now be able to sell your courses worldwide, and rest easy knowing that VAT compliance is completely taken care of!

We’re excited to announce our latest feature release - course reviews! Students are now able to review and rate your courses from their student dashboard, or even from within the course player itself. Introducing course reviews for Thinkific...We see 5 stars in your future!Click To Tweet What are some of the benefits of course reviews? Having reviews enabled for your courses will allow you to: Easily gather student feedback - reviews will help you to find out from your students what you’re doing well, so you can do more of the same! Likewise, if there’s anything that could be improved upon, reviews are a great way to figure this out to make improvements to your courses. Build trust with potential students - as many as 80% of us look to reviews when buying online, and potential students for your courses will be no different. Reviews act as social proof that your products are genuine and trustworthy because others have purchased them before and had a positive experience. Use good reviews as a selling point - a high star rating is an instant and universally understood selling point for a product. You can set reviews to appear publicly on your course landing page, to help seal the deal with new purchasers. Sounds great! How do I start gathering course reviews? It’s as simple as enabling reviews from the Reviews page of your admin dashboard. Students will then be able to submit a review by selecting ‘Rate this course’ from their student dashboard or the course player. You will be able to choose whether to ‘Approve’ submitted reviews to have them appear on your course landing page, or to keep them as private feedback. If you’re looking for further information on managing course reviews, check this article on our knowledge base. Happy reviewing! The post New feature: Course Reviews appeared first on Thinkific.
