How to ask ticket buyers to sign a waiver

Ask your buyers for a signature in your checkout form

Written by Rhio

You can ask your buyers and attendees for a signature when you personalise your checkout form questions.

Collecting a signature during checkout provides an extra layer of confirmation that your buyers have read (and agreed to) your terms and conditions.

It’s particularly useful for:

  • Events with physical activity (e.g., sports, fitness, or outdoor activities)

  • Events with age or health requirements

  • Any event where you require a signed waiver

    • If you need a signature for all of your events, head to your box office Settings, and open the Checkout form.

    • If you need a signature for just one event, head to your event, open the Checkout form and choose Event specific checkout form at the top of the page.

  • Add a checkout form question.

    • If you want every ticket holder to sign your terms, or waiver, select Add an attendee question.

    • If you only need the buyer to add a signature, choose Add a buyer only question.

  • Under What kind of response do you want? choose Terms and conditions agreement.

  • In the text box called What question do you want to ask? write what you want to ask before requesting a signature, for example, "Please sign to accept the waiver".

  • Under Agreement type choose Signature to request a signature.

  • Add your full terms to the text box, and choose if you want them expanded (so they show fully) or if buyers need to click to reveal them.

    • 💡 It may also be a good idea to include your full terms and conditions on your event page, so your buyers can read them in advance.

  • Use the final options to choose whether the signature is needed for tickets, products, particular ticket types only, and if it's required.

  • Save your question, and your customers will be asked for a signature at checkout.

How to check signatures

  • Once someone has bought a ticket, and signed a waiver, head to your Orders page.

  • Find your relevant order, and click on it to open it.

  • Next to the I agree to the terms and conditions question, click on the View signature button to view your customer's signature.
