ApproveThis manages your Kiwify Integration approvals.

Why These Two Should Date

Let's get real - selling online courses through Kiwify shouldn't mean drowning in Slack threads trying to get sign-offs on refunds, subscriptions, or student access. Meanwhile, ApproveThis over here is like that hyper-organized friend who actually enjoys creating structure out of chaos. Put them together through Zapier, and you've got something better than a corporate romance novel.

Kiwify handles the heavy lifting of hosting courses, processing payments, and managing students. ApproveThis brings the adult supervision with automated approval chains, calculated fields for financial thresholds, and email-based approvals that even your least tech-savvy team members can handle. Together, they turn "Did you approve that?" chaos into "It's already handled" calm.

Real Problems This Duo Solves

1. The "Oops, We Approved a Fraudulent Order" Fiasco

Picture this: Your new $997 course gets 15 orders overnight. Three are from the same IP address using stolen credit cards. Kiwify sees paid orders, ApproveThis spots the red flags.

How it works: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis workflow for every Kiwify "Order Paid" event. Your fraud detection team gets an email with order details, IP addresses, and purchase history. They click approve/reject without needing to log into Kiwify. Approved orders get processed; rejected ones trigger automatic refunds.

Who cares: Edtech companies scaling past $1M/year. Lets finance teams sleep without worrying about chargebacks.

2. The "Why Is Cancelled Guy Still in Our Course?" Mystery

Students cancel subscriptions but stay in your members area for months, costing you hosting fees and creating support tickets. With this integration:

When someone cancels in Kiwify, ApproveThis automatically:

• Flags the student's course progress
• Routes to customer success for exit surveys
• Removes access after final approval

Real-world win: A cybersecurity training company reduced AWS costs by 18% by automatically pruning inactive users.

3. The "New Student Onboarding Black Hole"

Manual student onboarding creates delays between payment and course access. Not great for NPS scores.

Fix: New ApproveThis requests trigger Kiwify to add students to the members area after internal checks:

• Enterprise clients: Legal approval for group licenses
• B2B sales: Manager confirmation of training budgets
• Scholarships: Committee review completion

Teams That Stop Hating Mondays

Finance Teams

Configure approval thresholds so any order over $5k gets auto-flagged for manual review. Vacation delegation means no more "Waiting on Janet" delays when she's hiking in Patagonia.

Customer Success

Get cancellation requests routed through ApproveThis with calculated fields showing:

- Lifetime value
- Previous support interactions
- Upsell potential

Approve retention offers or process cancellations without jumping between 8 tools.

Course Creators

When students request advanced module access, trigger ApproveThis workflows that:

- Check completion of prerequisites (via Kiwify progress data)
- Require instructor sign-off
- Automatically unlock content upon approval

Setting This Up Without Losing a Day

1. In Zapier, connect Kiwify and ApproveThis.
2. Pick your trigger (New Order, Cancellation, etc.).
3. Map key Kiwify data to ApproveThis fields (amount, user email, course details).
4. Set approval rules: Who needs to sign off? What thresholds apply?
5. Test with a $0.99 test course purchase.

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve renewals under $500 or flag international orders for extra scrutiny.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Kiwify knows courses. ApproveThis knows approvals. Neither tries to do the other's job. Together, they solve specific headaches for growing course businesses:

- No more seat licenses for approvers: Your external partners can approve/deny requests via email without Kiwify accounts.
- Audit trails that actually help: Every approval ties back to specific Kiwify orders for compliance.
- Scale without chaos: Add 10 new courses without creating 10 new approval processes.

It's not about doing more - it's about finally having control as you grow.

Cool, But Does This Actually Work For...?

Enterprise Training Teams

When Microsoft needs to onboard 200 new hires to a cloud certification course, ApproveThis handles manager approvals per employee while Kiwify manages bulk access. HR stays happy.

Udemy-Style Marketplaces

Nonprofits With Scholarship Programs

Applicants get Kiwify checkout links. ApproveThis routes applications to review committees, applies scholarship discounts upon approval, and tracks utilization rates.

Bottom Line

If you're managing course approvals through spreadsheets or Slack emojis, we need to talk. ApproveThis + Kiwify via Zapier is like hiring an operations manager who works 24/7 and doesn't drink all your cold brew.
