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.

How to Start a Drive-In Movie Theater (and Host a Pop-Up Drive-In...

by
Drive-in theaters never really went away. Hundreds still run across the US, and new operators keep turning fields, fairgrounds and old lots into seasonal cinemas. Others start smaller, with a single pop-up movie night for a school, church or town. Either way, the hard parts are the same: the land and the screen, sound that reaches every car, the right to show the film, and getting a few hundred vehicles through one gate before the opening credits. This guide walks through each step in order, from picking a site to selling tickets by the carload. If you're only planning one night, skip ahead to the pop-up section. Is a drive-in the right business? (a quick reality check) Before you look at land, be honest about the shape of the business: It's seasonal. Most drive-ins run from spring through fall, and weekends carry most of the revenue. Plan your budget around a short season, not twelve months. Concessions matter as much as tickets. At many drive-ins, a large share of the money comes from the snack bar rather than admission. Treat the concession stand as part of the plan from day one, not an add-on. Show nights need people. Expect to staff the gate, parking lanes, the projection booth, the concession stand and cleanup on every show night. Seasonal staff and volunteers are common, but they need training before opening weekend. There's more than one model. A permanent theater owns its land and screens and runs a full season. A seasonal operation may lease a site for a few months. A pop-up runs one night or a short series on borrowed ground. If a pop-up is what you have in mind, jump to hosting a one-night pop-up drive-in movie. Running an indoor cinema too? Our movie theater ticketing overview covers the...

SimpleTix + Stripe: ticketing for your Stripe account → If you already run your business on Stripe, stripe ticketing through SimpleTix is the shortest path to selling event tickets. Connect your Stripe account once, and you can sell online, at the box office, and right on your phone with Tap to Pay. Every dollar lands directly in your own Stripe account — SimpleTix never holds your money. This page covers what the pairing actually does: the payment methods your buyers get, how in-person sales work, what it costs, and how to connect. Why Stripe ticketing reaches more buyers Stripe accepts more ways to pay than any other processor we support. Beyond credit and debit cards, your checkout can offer: Apple Pay and Link for one-tap checkout Affirm, Afterpay, and Klarna — buy now, pay later options that help sell higher-priced tickets Cash App and PayPal ACH bank payments Even crypto, if your buyers lean that way Also, Stripe is the most widely available processor on SimpleTix. It works in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Europe, and most of the rest of the world, with support for multiple currencies. For the full matrix, see our payment processor guide. Your revenue goes straight to your Stripe account SimpleTix does not hold, process, or transfer your ticket revenue. In fact, every sale settles directly into your own Stripe account, and you move money to your bank on Stripe's standard schedule. Stripe also handles your tax documents, like the 1099-K. That matters for two reasons. First, there is no middleman between your buyers and your money. Second, if you already reconcile your business through Stripe, ticket sales show up right where the rest of your revenue lives.

Season Ticket Software for Fall 2026: Subscriptions, Reserved Seating & Renewals
-
by
Fall subscription sales are the single biggest revenue moment for most performing arts organizations. Season packages, member renewals, and early access windows all open between July and September. So the season ticket software you pick this summer decides how the fall series actually sells. This guide covers what season ticket software needs to do in 2026, how to configure it for a theater, symphony, or concert series, and what SimpleTix costs for season-driven event programs. What season ticket software actually needs to do Selling season tickets is nothing like selling single-event tickets. First, one subscriber buys 4 to 20 events in a single package. Second, seats need to lock across the entire season. Third, renewals from prior subscribers happen weeks before the general public gets access. And fourth, add-ons like parking, pre-show dinner, and backstage passes attach to the subscription, not the event. So the operational checklist for season ticket software looks like this: Season pass or subscription products that group multiple events into one purchase Reserved seating with locked seats across the whole season, so the subscriber sits in the same seat every night Priority access windows for existing subscribers before general on-sale Payment plans or full-payment options so patrons can split large subscription costs Renewal workflows that let last year's subscribers re-up with one click Comp ticket management for donors, sponsors, and press seats Membership tiers with different pricing, benefits, and priority access Reporting by subscriber, not just by event If your current tool cannot handle these, you are probably running Excel spreadsheets on the side and losing renewals every year. What is season ticket software? Season ticket software is a ticketing platform designed to sell multi-event packages (season subscriptions) alongside individual tickets, with reserved seat continuity, subscriber priority access, and renewal workflows built in. The core difference...
