Abre Payments Checkout Update
- Transaction completion is now a multi-step process. Users processing transactions via Abre Payments will see a new workflow enabling additional key identification information to be captured to allow Abre Payments administrators to better understand, optimize and refine their payments process within their districts. Abre Payments now aligns individual transactions to authorized emails and user identification by role and ID within their merchant account.
Behavior App Language Updates
- Establishing, monitoring and reporting on student behavior is a critical function within districts, but behavior incidents are not always disciplinary and require intervention. To better accommodate and support a wider variety of behavior programs throughout school districts, the Abre Behavior app has been updated with broader and more inclusive language to enable Abre Behavior Administrators to seamlessly track both negative and positive behavior.
