Product instructions, examples, and answers for creating events, collecting signups and payments, and keeping your group organized.

What is Signup Bubble?

Signup BubbleTM is a simple way to manage event signups and the teamwork behind them. You create an event with slots, share one public link, and people sign up in seconds without creating an account. Confirmations, reminders, and organizer notifications are handled for you. When the group still needs to pick a date or a choice, you can run a poll on the same kind of page.

Need to cover costs? Collect event or slot fees, invite optional contributions, or share a collection page without an event. Start with the Payments guide for options, Stripe setup, and refunds. Payments are in beta and available on both plans.

It works for potlucks, volunteer shifts, parent teacher conferences, supply drives, team snack schedules, open houses, and anything else that needs names next to spots. The free plan covers up to 10 active events or polls with unlimited participants.

The Organization plan is built for busy schools, nonprofits, PTAs, clubs, and other groups coordinating multiple events and organizers. A shared workspace brings your people, schedules, and communication together, with tools to share responsibility from the first invitation through event day:

  • Give your team a shared home. Invite admins and organizers to manage events together, while admins handle billing, organization settings, and team access.
  • Delegate with clear handoffs. Assign event leads, leave private handoff notes, and see upcoming events and assignments in the organization overview.
  • Run event day with digital check-in. Enable check-in for people signups and RSVPs, then record arrivals by person, party, or shift from your event roster.
  • Keep communication coordinated. Work from shared contacts and lists, reuse saved messages, and review sending history so teammates know what has already gone out.
  • Build on work you have already done. Reuse team event templates and create weekly or monthly recurring series. Events, contacts, and templates stay with the organization as staff and volunteers change.

Guests still get the same simple signup link, while your team gets the structure to keep a full calendar moving. See Organizations and team workspaces for roles, delegation, and setup, or compare plans.
