Introducing SignPayGo: Permission Slips, Waivers & Payments in One Link
-
by
Today we are launching SignPayGo. It is a new product from the team behind SimpleTix. SignPayGo is all-in-one permission slip software that combines waivers, e-signatures, and payment collection in a single link. And we built it for camps, schools, sports programs, and youth organizations.
If you run programs with permission slips, liability waivers, and parent payments, you know the workflow. First, paper slips come back half-completed. Then a separate e-signature tool handles the legal parts. Finally, Venmo or checks handle the money. So SignPayGo replaces all three with one link.

Why we built SignPayGo
The same problem kept showing up in conversations with SimpleTix customers. Ticketing worked fine. But the paperwork around their programs did not.
For example, permission slips lived on paper. Meanwhile, liability waivers lived in a separate DocuSign account. Deposit payments lived in Venmo. Full payments came by check. And balances lived in a spreadsheet.
Every program admin we talked to was doing the same manual reconciliation at the end of every week.
So we built SignPayGo to solve that specific problem. First, one link goes to a parent. Then the slip, the signature, and the payment all happen in a single flow. The parent fills it out on their phone. Meanwhile, the admin sees it in the dashboard. No more chasing paperwork.
If you trust how SimpleTix handles event ticketing, expect the same standard here. Clear pricing. Real support. And software built by the same team.
What SignPayGo does
Six features cover the entire permission slip workflow. Here is how each one works.
Permission slips and waivers
First, you get custom fields, ready-to-use templates, and liability language your attorney will approve. Also, you can build a permission slip in under ten minutes from a template. Or start from scratch with custom fields for emergency contacts, medical info, and dietary needs.
In short, this is online permission slip software built to replace paper completely. So no more “did you sign the slip?” check-ins at the bus.
E-signatures
Parents and students can co-sign from any device. Also, SignPayGo’s electronic waiver flow is designed to support the federal frameworks (ESIGN Act and UETA) that govern electronic signatures in the United States. Every signed document includes a full audit trail. As with any e-signature tool, your specific use case should be reviewed by your own counsel.
In practice, parents sign on their phone. There is no account creation. Also, there is no app to download. And there is no separate link for the signature step.
Payment collection
Deposits, full payments, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are all supported. Then money lands in your account the next day.
Usually this part lives in a separate tool. For example: Venmo. Or Zelle. Or a checkbox to bring cash to the first practice. However, with SignPayGo, the payment is collected at the same time as the signature. So you never have to reconcile two systems.
Payment processing is 3.9% + 99¢ per transaction. Also, there are no monthly fees and no per-signature charges.
Bulk sending
First, paste a class list or CSV. Then send to everyone at once. Per-student personalization is built in. So each parent gets a link customized for their child’s name, the specific trip, and any unique fields you need.
For example, a school sending a field trip slip to 120 families turns a five-hour job into a five-minute one.
Auto reminders
Automated follow-ups go out at 1, 3, and 7 days. As a result, most slips reach 100 percent completion without any manual nudging from your team.
Have you ever sent a “please sign by tomorrow” email to twelve parents the night before a trip? Now this feature ends that.
Real-time tracking
A live dashboard shows who has signed, who has paid, and who still needs a gentle push. Export the roster at any time. Also, you can filter by status. So you see exactly where you stand without opening four different tools.
Who SignPayGo is for
SignPayGo is built for these programs:
- Summer camps and day camps — overnight, week-long, specialty (STEM, arts, sports)
- Sports camps and leagues — soccer, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, football, hockey
- K-12 schools — field trips, sports teams, after-school programs, club activities
- Religious organizations — youth groups, church camps, retreat weekends
- Athletic directors and program admins managing multi-team or multi-program operations
In short, it is especially useful if you currently use online waiver software for waivers and a separate payment tool. Because SignPayGo collapses those into one workflow.
Pricing
Free to start. No credit card required. No monthly fees. And no per-signature charges.
The revenue model is simple. A 3.9% + 99¢ payment processing fee applies when parents pay. So if you collect no payments and only use SignPayGo for free permission slips, there is no cost.
Also, every new account includes a free onboarding session. So you can be up and running in under an hour.
Frequently asked questions
Does SignPayGo support electronic signatures?
Yes. SignPayGo’s e-signature workflow is designed to support the federal frameworks (ESIGN Act and UETA) that govern electronic signatures in the United States. Every signed document includes a full audit trail with timestamp, device, and identity capture. Organizations should review their specific use case with their own counsel.
Do parents need to create an account?
No. First, parents click the link. Then they sign. Then they pay. And they are done. There is no account creation. There is no password. There is no app to download.
Can SignPayGo be used by schools?
Yes. SignPayGo is designed for school use cases including field trip permission slips, sports team waivers, and after-school program permissions. Schools should review their own data governance policies, including FERPA requirements, when adopting any third-party platform.
Can I send to a whole class or roster at once?
Yes. First, paste a class list or upload a CSV. Then SignPayGo sends a personalized link to each parent in seconds.
How does SignPayGo handle reminders?
Automated follow-ups go out at 1, 3, and 7 days after the initial send. As a result, most permission slips reach 100 percent completion without manual nudging.
How does SignPayGo compare to DocuSign for permission slips?
DocuSign is a general-purpose e-signature platform. However, SignPayGo is purpose-built for permission slips and waivers. The payment collection step is built into the same flow. So for school and camp use cases, SignPayGo is faster to set up. Also, it costs less. And it handles the payment piece DocuSign does not.

Partiful Just Launched Ticketing: What Event Organizers Need to Know
-
by
Partiful just launched ticketing. As of June 2, 2026, hosts can now sell tickets directly inside the Partiful app on iOS, Android, and web. Initially, the feature is rolling out to U.S. hosts. Then broader availability is planned in the coming months. If you have run events before, you probably already know Partiful. It is the social-first invitation platform with millions of monthly active users. Until now, every paid event on Partiful had to push guests off-platform to actually buy a ticket. So this launch closes that gap. But here is the question every event organizer needs to ask. Is Partiful's new ticketing the right platform for your event? Or is it built for a different kind of host? Below is the honest breakdown. What Partiful Ticketing actually does Partiful's launch covers the basics every casual social host needs: Ticket tiers with multiple pricing levels Capacity limits to cap attendance Promo codes for special guest pricing QR code check-in at the door SMS notifications to attendees Staff permissions so bouncers or co-hosts can check guests in Sales tracking for real-time payouts and attendance Also, payment processing runs through Stripe. Then payouts are available roughly three days after the event ends. Meanwhile, free tickets carry no fees. Paid ticket fees scale with event size and ticket price. So Partiful shows hosts the exact fee during setup, and hosts can pass it on or absorb it. CEO Shreya Murthy framed the launch this way: "Ticketing has always lived outside the social experience of an event — you buy a ticket somewhere else, then figure out who's going. We think that's backwards." So if your event lives or dies on word of mouth and the "who else is going" dynamic, Partiful's pitch is real. The platform is built around social discovery, dynamic invites,...

Tap to Pay on iPhone with Square: Accept Ticket Payments Without a Card Reader If you sell tickets at the door, Tap to Pay on iPhone can make that process simpler. You can accept contactless payments directly in the SimpleTix Organizer app using Square, with no extra card reader needed. That means your staff can take payments on an iPhone Xs or later using physical debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets. Why Tap to Pay on iPhone matters for event organizers Many events still need a way to take payments on site. Farms, festivals, popups, attractions, and community events may want a simple option for in-person sales. Previously, that usually meant a separate reader. However, Tap to Pay on iPhone removes that extra device. If your team already has an iPhone, they can take contactless payments right from the phone. This can be useful when your sales setup is mobile or temporary. For example, maybe you sell from a gate, a folding table, a merch tent, or while walking the grounds. It can also help keep sales inside the same Organizer app you already use for box office and check-in. What Tap to Pay on iPhone does inside SimpleTix SimpleTix supports Tap to Pay on iPhone in the Organizer app, powered by Square.

Eventbrite’s New Owner Just Cut Staff: What It Means for Event Organizers...

Eventbrite's New Owner Just Cut Staff: What It Means for Event Organizers in 2026 If you run events and use Eventbrite, the last 30 days have been noisy. In March 2026, Italian software holding company Bending Spoons completed its $500 million acquisition of Eventbrite, taking the platform private. In April, new leadership announced staff cuts and a shift to operating with what they called "a leaner team." Here's what actually changed, what it could mean for your events, and why a lot of organizers are quietly evaluating their options. The quick version of what happened December 2025: Bending Spoons announced the acquisition March 2026: Deal closed at roughly $500 million. Eventbrite is now a private company, no longer publicly traded April 13, 2026: New Eventbrite leader Andrea Parodi announced staff cuts and a new product roadmap Headcount trend: Eventbrite went from 866 employees at the end of 2023 to 636 at the end of 2025 — and the latest cuts bring it lower Bending Spoons isn't new to this playbook. They've acquired Vimeo, WeTransfer, Evernote, and AOL in recent years. Each acquisition has followed a similar pattern: buy the product, cut a significant portion of the workforce, consolidate operations. That's the backdrop. Now the organizer question: what does it mean for you? What organizers should actually be watching 1. Support quality Fewer people usually means slower replies. If you've ever been 48 hours out from doors opening and needed a fast answer from support, you know how much that matters. Watch your response times on tickets opened after April 2026 and compare them to what you got in 2024-2025. If things slow down, that's not a one-off — it's the new steady state. 2. Product direction New ownership always means a new roadmap. Parodi's announcement talked about faster event creation,...
