We’re transitioning from Zoho ShowTime to TrainerCentral

Hello everyone,

Zoho ShowTime was originally built as a training platform to serve training agencies, HR teams, and individual trainers. As the platform grew, we realized that more creators and businesses could benefit from its capabilities. That’s why we launched a new brand, TrainerCentral, a full-featured training platform that handles everything from course creation to live sessions. With a host of new features and added capabilities in TrainerCentral, we’re saying goodbye to Zoho ShowTime and transitioning to a more advanced, comprehensive platform.

With TrainerCentral, you can design multimedia-rich courses that combine videos, documents, quizzes, and assignments to offer self-paced training. Built-in live session tools allow you to host interactive sessions including polls, chats, and surveys, to keep learners engaged. The platform simplifies learner management with detailed progress tracking, analytics, and automated certificates, helping trainers measure performance and learning outcomes with ease.

It also offers a no-code website builder that enables users to create a professional, fully branded academy website to strategize and market their online courses effectively to learners. With its robust, integrated payment gateway system, it facilitates secure, frictionless transactions across global markets.

This migration from Zoho Showtime to TrainerCentral will provide you with access to enhanced features, improved performance, and a unified training experience.

How to migrate from Zoho ShowTime to TrainerCentral.

You can migrate your account from Zoho ShowTime to TrainerCentral anytime by clicking the Migrate button in the left pane and following the on-screen instructions. Once migrated, you’ll receive a notification, through which you can access your TrainerCentral account.

1. Only the super admin of a Zoho ShowTime portal can migrate their portal's data to TrainerCentral.
   
2. We’ll be disabling remote session scheduling and learner registration for on-demand sessions starting December 1, 2025. With this transition, Zoho ShowTime will reach its End of Life (EOL) on December 31, 2025.
   

To avoid any disruptions to your live classes, please move to TrainerCentral before December 31, 2025.

We hope this will elevate your experience to the next level.

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ section below, reach out to us at support@zohoshowtime.com, or just leave a comment here.  

FAQ

1. How long will the migration take? 

The migration of your Zoho ShowTime data and account portal is expected to take approximately one to two hours.

2. What will happen to my Zoho ShowTime account if it is not migrated before the sunset?

If you fail to migrate before the sunset, i.e., December 31, 2025, active Zoho ShowTime accounts will be automatically migrated to TrainerCentral.

All of your Zoho CRM, Zapier, and Zoho Flow integrations and their functionalities will be migrated seamlessly to TrainerCentral. In Zapier and Zoho Flow, several additional triggers and actions are available for all courses and live workshops.

 11. If I cancel my TrainerCentral subscription after migration, will I get the same plan when I resubscribe to a new TrainerCentral account? 

No. The equivalent plan is provided only if you migrate from Zoho ShowTime. If you resubscribe for a new TrainerCentral account, you’ll be mapped to a new plan.

12. What if I can't see the Migrate button on my Zoho ShowTime portal?

If the Migrate button isn’t visible, please contact our support team to help you migrate from Zoho ShowTime to TrainerCentral.
