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 Enroll Button Behavior

Manage Enroll Button Behavior

Click the Catalog Info tab [1].

By default, in the Enroll Button Behavior section, the Adds listing to the shopping cart and starts checkout radio button is selected [2]. When a student clicks a listing's Enroll button, the listing is added to the shopping cart before Catalog navigates to the checkout page.

To skip adding the listing to the shopping cart and navigate straight to the checkout page, click the Starts enrollment only for the specific listing radio button [3].
