I love how everything is in real time so we can "see" our ticket sales.”
Lisa WhitkanackMathematics Teacher, Bolingbrook High School“I would like to tell you that we do have several coaches and sponsors using Omella now.I am receiving positive feedback and new teachers asking for invites weekly. I am very pleased with your product and the continual improvements and hands-on training.”
Katie ThoneBusiness Manager, Dunklin School DistrictWhy not just use DocuSign?
Imagine sending a separate DocuSign to every student on a 120-student trip, then chasing payments on the side. Schools need a few things DocuSign wasn't built for.
One page for every student
Create one page and share it with the whole class, team or grade by link or QR code. You don't invite families one by one.
With DocuSignEach student's form is its own envelope. Sending one link to everyone (PowerForms) and bulk sending are only on the Business Pro plan.
Students start it, parents sign
One question asks for a parent's email. Omella emails the parent, the parent signs and pays any cost on the same page, and then it goes to the right person at school to approve.
With DocuSignCollecting a payment while someone signs is also a Business Pro feature.
Free for your school
Approvals cost your school nothing, no matter how many students sign. When a form includes a payment, Omella makes money from optional tips.
With DocuSignPaid plans include 100 envelopes per user per year. A slip for 300 students uses 300 envelopes.
How a field trip runs on Omella
Teachers set it up in minutes, and the office sees every payment without a folder of envelopes.
For your staff
- Copy a trip templateStart from a trip permission form or field trip waiver and edit the date, cost and questions.

- Route it for approvalAfter the parent signs, the slip goes to a teacher or principal to approve. Collect payment only after approval if you need to.
- Record cash and checksTurn on offline payments and mark them paid, so every student's status sits in one list.
For families

Trip money the office can account for
Each payment and signature is tied to the student, so you know who can get on the bus.

“Omella is head and shoulders above with customer service. There are going to be hiccups with any large event, but you're often on your own on other platforms. Omella trouble shoots with you and is available. Our students also find the check out process easy. Our deans found the approval process for Guest Passes easy. Omella basically makes it very easy at every public facing step.”
