    Purchase-order questions

    Before you upload.

    Confirm that the PO reflects the Studio access or other products your organization intends to purchase.

    What is the minimum purchase-order value?+

    The current minimum value for a purchase-order submission is $180.

    Can educator accounts be shared?+

    No. Each educator needs an individual account associated with their work email address.

    Can one PO include Studio accounts and communication boards?+

    Yes. Select the bundle option and briefly describe the schools or spaces you want to support. An exact board count is not required; our team can help define the project and confirm bundled pricing.

    Who should be the organization administrator?+

    Choose someone who can manage Studio access for your organization by adding users, editing account information, replacing users when staffing changes, and removing users who no longer need access. This is often a special education director, assistive technology specialist, lead SLP, program coordinator, administrator, or designated IT/account manager.

    Do we need to provide a staff roster?+

    No. Identify the organization administrator in the form and upload the approved purchase order as a PDF. After setup, the administrator can add and manage the organization’s Studio users.

    When will we hear from Smarty Symbols?+

    Our team typically sends an initial response within 48 hours. Complex board or bundled projects may require additional planning after that first contact.
