Switching to Omella

Every Omella customer switched from another payment system, most often RevTrak. Our team does as much of the work as we can, so you can get back to what you do best. Here's who does what, and how to move at your own pace.

Two ways to start

Some schools start small. Others go all in at once. Either way, Omella is free and our team walks you through every step.

Start small

Try one fundraiser, prom, homecoming or dance at one of your schools and see how you like it. There's no commitment. Once your team knows how it works, add your other schools, events and club fundraisers.

FirstHomecoming dance at Lincoln High
NextEvery event and club at Lincoln High
ThenEvery school, event and club fundraiser

Example

Go all in

Bring every school and event over at once. Districts that collect fees and food services through their SIS take this path, with one extra step: our team walks you through configuring your SIS for all your schools.

Example

Move at your own pace

Omella runs alongside your current system, so nothing has to stop while you try it. Start with one event at one school, keep everything else where it is, and add more when you're ready.

If you connect your SIS, every payment posts back to it, so your records stay in one place whichever system a payment went through. You can turn it on for staff first, then for families.

Still on your current system

  • Fees at every school
  • Game tickets
  • Events at other schools

Now on Omella

  • Homecoming dance at Lincoln High
  • Band fundraiser
  • Permission slips

Bringing over what you sell

You have important work to do, so we'll take as much of this off your plate as we can. Send our team what you sell and we'll build it for you. Prefer to do it yourself? Templates and copying make it quick. If you connect your SIS, fees and food services already live there, so families see them in Omella once it's configured.

We'll build it for you

Tickets, fundraisers, forms, concessions, whatever you sell today. Send it our way and our team sets it up, so you can get back to what you do best.

  • YouSend us what you sell: a list, a flyer or last year's form
  • Our teamBuilds your pages in Omella
  • YouCheck them over and share the link

Or do it yourself

How long it takes

Create your account yourself in about a minute, verify your school and set up payouts, and you can start collecting. The full switch runs on your schedule, and we'll map out timing for your district on a demo.
