Here's what's new in NextKick this update.
🆕 New Features
Workflows
Workflows are here. You already have automations for follow-ups, and Workflows go further: you can use them to automate many of the manual tasks you and your staff handle every day. We'll keep adding to Workflows, including AI features, so it will keep getting more powerful.
Friend Referral Program
Student referrals: Students can refer friends with their own referral code. You choose the reward and track every referral in NextKick.
School referrals: Share your school's referral code with other taekwondo schools you know to earn NextKick benefits.
Customizable Student App
You can now customize the student app's dashboard menu and bottom quick menu, so the NextKick Student App looks and works like your school's own app.
Trial Class Link
One link now shows every available trial class, so you don't need a separate link for each class.
Late Fees for Events & Testing
You can now charge late fees for events and testing registrations.
Chinese Language Support
The student app now has a Chinese interface.
📊 Attendance
Rank Statistics chart: View attendance history as a chart under Attendance > Attendance History > Rank Statistics.
Attendance chart in the student app: Parents now see a chart of attendance, not just a list.
Reminder: On a student's attendance history page, click the Grid View icon to see their full-year attendance pattern.
Photo check-in order: Students are now listed alphabetically instead of by student number, so they can find their name and photo faster.
💳 Memberships & Payments
Cancellation date for no-expiry memberships: You can now set a cancellation date on memberships that don't expire.
Cancel paused memberships directly: You can cancel a paused membership without resuming it first.
Coupons in more places: You can now apply a coupon when you add a membership manually and when you process a payment.
Expiring memberships on the dashboard: A new list shows memberships that are about to expire, so you can follow up in time.
📦 Inventory
Edit inventory from the list page: Update stock right from the product list without opening each product.
Zero inventory: You can now set a product's inventory to 0 and still show it to students as an option.
👥 Students
Assign groups and classes from the profile: Add a student to a group or class schedule directly from their profile page.
⚙️ Settings
Custom sender email: You can now choose the email address messages are sent from in Settings. We strongly recommend using an email on your school's own domain. Emails sent from Gmail addresses are much more likely to end up in students' spam folders.
Form email verification is now optional: You can turn off email verification on forms. We still highly recommend keeping it on so every email address you collect is valid.
💬 Customer Support Update
Support is now available through our live chat bot. Text message support will end on October 31, 2026. Please use live chat from now on.
