Recommendations before you start

• Follow the steps below and test a $1 charge before your first live event. If you need an example page to test, you can copy this template to your organization by clicking "Save".
• If you will be using your school's WiFi, please run this test using that same WiFi to anticipate any possible firewall rules that may block payments and contact help@omella.com to work with your IT staff.
• We want to make sure your first event is stress free. Feel free to email the date, time and page to help@omella.com so we can monitor and be available.
