How do I manage single-listing enrollment behavior in my institution's Canvas Catalog?

As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can manage the user experience when students enroll in a single catalog listing.

Catalog supports a shopping cart feature that allows students to select multiple catalog listings for enrollment before completing the checkout process. By default, when a student selects to enroll in a listing from the listing's details page, the listing is first added to the shopping cart and then the student is redirected to the checkout page. However, you can change this default behavior so that single-listing enrollments bypass the shopping cart and navigate straight to the checkout page.

Manage Enrollment Button

In the Enroll Button Behavior section, the Adds listing to the shopping cart and starts checkout radio button is selected by default [1]. When a student clicks the Enroll button for a listing, the listing is added to the shopping cart before Catalog navigates to the checkout page.

To prevent the listing from being added to the shopping cart and force navigation directly to the checkout page, click the Starts enrollment only for the specific listing radio button [2].

To save your selection, click the Save button [3].
