🚀 StriderPlus Digital Waivers – Best Practices To Get Started

Fast. Flexible. Standalone.

StriderPlus lets you collect signed digital waivers quickly — whether you use STRIDER for entries or another provider.

But because StriderPlus is a standalone service, apart from your StriderGold account, signed waivers don’t automatically attach to entries.

That’s OK — just make it easy for riders to add them! 
You’ll have signed PDFs show up seamlessly in your email & STRIDER Organizer Corner in no time. 

đź“ť First, Make Your Waiver Easy to Find

  • Publish your StriderPlus waiver link everywhere: your STRIDER activity pages, your website, social media

  • Use QR codes: post them around your facility — driveway, barn wall, tack room, mounting blocks, fence line

  • Tell riders what to do: explain how to sign and upload their waiver to an entry before they checkout. PRO TIP: If you need clients to sign before trying a sale horse, be sure to have a QR code posted nearby.

đź“Ś Then, Make It Easy For Riders To Add Waivers to their STRIDER Entries

1.Go to Your STRIDER Organizer Dashboard

2. If you have an activity already live on STRIDER, edit your Activity. If not, skip ahead to Step 3

  • Find the activity name you want to update.
  • Click the ✍️ Edit icon next to it. That will open up an editable version of your published activity.

3. Add Your Rider Instructions & Waiver Link

Add instructions → In your activity description, tell riders:

“Sign our waiver FIRST, then upload the signed PDF to your STRIDER entry.”

  • Scroll to the “Waivers, Prize List & Photo” section.
  • Paste your digital waiver link into the waiver field. It will look like below:

5. Republish Your Activity

  • Navigate to the end of the form.
  • Click “Publish” to republish with the waiver link & rider entry instructions included.

📱Using QR Codes to Easily Share Your Waiver

A QR code is a small square image — like a digital barcode — that, when scanned with a smartphone camera, instantly opens a web page.

Using QR codes is the fastest, easiest way to get riders to your waiver. It saves everyone from having to type a long web address or send text links.

Riders open their phone’s camera and point it at the QR code.

  • A link pops up on their screen.
  • They tap the link, and your waiver instantly opens in their browser for signature.
  • Post your QR code everywhere riders look: your driveway entrance, near mounting blocks, trailer parking areas, on barn walls and lesson tack rooms.

🚀 Upgrade to StriderPlus Premier

Your StriderGold account includes one StriderPlus Essentials digital waiver — but you’ll need to track completions manually.

Name it “Liability Releases.”
