Waivers
Build your own waiver, share its public link, handle minors and the medical questionnaire, and find signed copies.
6 min read · in your admin: /admin/collections/waivers
Waivers (/admin/collections/waivers) are your shop’s own release forms. Each one has a public link at /waiver/<slug> that a participant fills in and signs on their phone, or on an iPad at the counter. Agency waivers that live inside SDI or PADI eLearning are not modelled here.
Build a waiver
- Create a waiver with a Title and a lowercase Slug. The slug is the public link.
- Set Trigger: Manual / shared link, On enrollment (training), On gear rental (POS) or On trip booking. Enrollment waivers are emailed automatically at checkout.
- Write a short Intro, then paste each legal section into Sections as a heading plus body.
- Under Fields to collect, tick Date of birth, Phone number, Emergency contact and Allow minors as needed.
- Optionally enable the Photo / media release, the Medical acknowledgement, and Include the full RSTC Diver Medical Questionnaire.
- For a rental waiver, enable the Equipment checklist and list the items.
- Check the E-signature consent line, tick Active, and Save.
What the participant sees
- Their details, the sections, and any checkboxes you enabled.
- A confirmation that they are 18 or older, or the box This participant is a minor (under 18) — a parent/guardian will sign, which asks for the guardian’s name, phone, email and date of birth.
- A signature pad. They can draw, or switch to Type my name for a typed signature.
Signed copies
Each submission is rendered to a PDF and saved as a Signed Waiver, linked to the student by email. It appears under Signed Waivers on the contact profile with the waiver title, signed date and whether a physician evaluation is required. Opening one shows the participant details and the questionnaire answers.
To send a contact their waivers by hand, use Send waiver & medical on the contact profile header. It emails every active enrollment waiver, the same emails checkout sends.
