The Royalty USA app home screen: a countdown to Nationals, the family's contestants and social links

Five places today. One app tomorrow.

Right now a family's year with Royalty USA lives in a Jotform, your invoices and reminder emails, the Royalty Dashboard, a Facebook group and a table at Nationals. Here's what each of those becomes.

TodayIn the app

Registering

TodayA Jotform on your website, filled out again each year.
In the appFamilies still register from your website, with nothing to download. The registration lands in the app. Profiles, headshots and contact details carry over, so next year is even faster. Appointed Title picks, optional competitions and the signed rules are all part of it.

Paying

TodayA Jotform for any amount, a Stripe link for Afterpay or Affirm, a spreadsheet of due dates, then invoices for whoever's behind.
In the appEvery family sees what's paid, what's due and the date it's due. They pay any amount, any time, by card, Klarna, Afterpay or Affirm. Reminders go out on their own, so the invoices stop, and the money lands in your Stripe account.

Getting ready

TodayThe Royalty Dashboard: one shared password and 22 buttons to forms and PDFs.
In the appPlan, Prepare, Succeed becomes each girl's own checklist: what to send, what to order and what to read, with due dates and a check mark when it's done. The hotel block only shows to registered families.

Pageant weekend

TodaySchedules and updates go in the Facebook group. Reminders go out by email.
In the appPost a schedule or a reminder once, by division. Every family gets a notification and always sees the newest version.

Merch

TodaySold in person and in the Facebook group.
In the appA Royalty USA boutique, added once your stock is ready. Shipped to their door, or picked up at Nationals.

What parents get

Most of your contestants are kids, so the app is built around the parent. One login, every daughter under it, and nothing to remember except their email.

Register for Nationals

From your website or the app, it's the same form. Pick the contestant, rank three Appointed Title choices, add optional competitions and sign the rules. Her division is suggested from her age on January 1, using your age ranges.

Plan, Prepare, Succeed

Everything on the Royalty Dashboard, made personal. Each girl gets her own checklist: send her headshot and photos, give her outfit sizes, order passes, and read the guide, each with a due date and a check mark when it's done. The hotel booking link appears once she's registered, so there's no password to pass around.

Pageant weekend, in their hand

You post the schedule once, by division. Families get a notification the moment it changes and always see the newest version, so nobody shows up to Fun Fashion with last night's times. The reminders you send by email today go here too.

Royalty USA can be the one families open on their phone. Your crown is the icon on their home screen all year, not just the week of Nationals, and every update reaches them without anyone digging for it.

Your questions, answered

Everything you asked in your voice memo.

How does the app know each girl's balance?

You set your fees once: registration, the package and each optional. When a girl registers or adds an optional, it goes on her balance, and every payment comes off the moment it lands in your Stripe. Cash or a check, you mark paid in one tap. You never type in a balance.

Can the girls already registered come over?

Yes. Send the spreadsheet you already keep, and each family is set up with what they've paid. They get an email inviting them in, and their balance is waiting.

Can families pay any amount, with Afterpay or Affirm?

Yes. They choose the amount, $2 or $200, and pay in the app by card, Klarna, Afterpay or Affirm, all on one screen with no separate links. The pay-later options have their own minimums, so very small payments go by card. No cards kept on file and no bank drafts.

Can I stop sending invoices?

That's the goal. The app works out each girl's due date, 90 days from the day she registered, and sends the reminders before it and after it. No spreadsheet, no letters, no invoices.

Can they still register on my website?

Yes. Your Register button opens the same sign-up in their browser, with nothing to download. The registration lands in the app right away, and they can add the app to their phone whenever they like.

How do I keep the hotel block private?

Anything you mark members-only, like the hotel booking link, only shows to families with a girl registered this year. Everyone signs in with a code emailed to them, so there's no shared password to change or pass around.

What about everything on the Royalty Dashboard?

It all comes over. Headshots, photogenic and print model photos, talent forms, video submissions, outfit sizes, dietary needs and volunteer hours become her checklist. Passes, banners and ads can be ordered and paid in the app. The guide, schedule, hair and makeup vendors and state wear details are there to read.

Do I need to build new forms?

No. Send what's on your current forms and they're rebuilt inside the app. Your part is the content: the handbook, prices and due dates.

Does this replace the Facebook group and reminder emails?

That's the plan. You post an announcement or schedule once, by division, and families get a notification on their phone.

How fast, and what does it cost?

Pricing is in the proposal I sent with this link, and we'll set dates together on our call. Stripe's normal fees apply to family payments, as they do today.

And scoring?

Its own conversation, whenever you're ready. If we build it, it uses the same contestants as the app, and a state pageant would make a good trial run before Nationals.

Nationals in Charleston

September 22-26, 2027

Families arrive with the whole weekend in their pocket.

We'll set the dates together.

Three things to get started

  1. Your 2027 families and what each has paid. The spreadsheet you already keep is perfect.
  2. The new handbook, when it's done. It has the prices for optionals, passes and ads.
  3. The forms behind the dashboard. A Jotform login, or a quick export of each form's questions.

Send these over whenever they're ready.Keegan
