Work/Kyron

An online shop for every school, all on one system

We built Kyron an online shop system with one store per school: private prices, fixed-price kits, teacher vouchers. Around 40 portals in three months.

ways to pay

Kyron sells devices and teaching equipment to schools all over Italy. It works with many partner schools, and each one has its own agreement. Buying season is the summer: families and teachers order in July and August what they will need in September.

In May 2026 there was no online sales channel at all. The first shop had to be ready by June.

Every school has its own deal

One school wants only a handful of products. Another has agreed a kit at a fixed price. A third has everything delivered to the school office, while others prefer delivery to families' homes. Discounts change from contract to contract.

Building a separate e-commerce site for each school, by hand, didn't fit the deadline. It wouldn't have been sustainable afterwards either: every new school would have become a new project.

One shop per school, one system

We built a single system that hosts every shop. Each school gets its own address, kyronedu.it/shop followed by the school's name, plus a short version that's easy to read out to parents.

The header shows the school's name and logo. Inside you only find the products chosen for that school, at its private prices. Shoppers in one school's store never see another school's price list.

Fixed-price kits

Many schools work with kits: an iPad with its case and charger, say, at an agreed price. In the catalogue the kit looks like any other product.

When it goes into the cart, the system adds the real items and applies the kit price by itself. Stock and invoicing see the individual pieces, while the family sees a single price.

Paying the way schools pay

Families don't all pay the same way, and Italian teachers have a voucher of their own, the Carta del Docente. At checkout there is:

  • card, PayPal or Klarna to pay in instalments;
  • bank transfer, with the order waiting until the money arrives;
  • the teacher voucher, also combined with another method.

With the voucher, the teacher uploads its PDF and the system reads the amount on its own. If the voucher doesn't cover everything, the rest goes on a card or a bank transfer. Kyron's team then checks and redeems the voucher.

Protection plans only come with a device

With an iPad you can add AppleCare+ or Kyron Shield, Kyron's own insurance. The system suggests them on the device page and in the cart, and only allows them when a compatible device is in the cart.

Remove the iPad and the plan goes with it. Nobody ends up paying for cover on a device they didn't buy.

Reduced VAT, requested at checkout

Under Italian law, people with a recognised disability can buy certain devices at 4% VAT instead of 22%. They can now ask for it right in the shop: switch on the option, upload the required documents and pay by bank transfer.

The order starts with the reduced rate pending. Kyron's team checks the documents and approves or rejects. The invoice is issued at 4% only after approval.

To school or to home

For schools that chose delivery on site, checkout already shows the school's address and only asks for billing details. Everyone else gets home delivery.

Orders land in the accounting software

Every order flows into Danea Easyfatt, the software Kyron uses for invoices and stock. It arrives with the customer's tax details and the school's official ministry code, so nobody in the office retypes anything.

After the purchase, a small celebration on screen closes the loop.

What changed

The first portal went live in June, in time for summer buying. Between May and August the school portals grew to around forty, all on the same system.

At first, opening a new school still took technical work. Today a Kyron salesperson does it by talking to an agent, in a couple of minutes. That story is in the Studio Kyron case.

Takeaway

One system, one shop per school. Products, prices, kits and delivery change from school to school. The code doesn't.
