Does Speakable accept purchase orders?

Yes! Speakable accepts purchase orders for both the School Starter Plan and the Organization Plan.

However, even if your school or district creates its own purchase order, we still require a completed Speakable order form to finalize your subscription. This helps ensure we have all the correct details to activate your plan and send the invoice to the right place.

What is a Purchase Order?

A purchase order (PO) is an official document from your school or district’s business office. It outlines what’s being purchased, confirms the cost, and acts as a formal promise to pay the vendor — in this case, Speakable.

Since most teachers can’t purchase software directly with a credit card, the school or district uses a PO to handle the financial part. A typical PO includes:

  • A description of the product or subscription

  • The approved price and payment terms

  • A unique PO number

  • The name and billing address of the school or district

New to school purchasing?

If you’re a teacher or leader navigating this process for the first time, here’s a quick overview of how it works:

  1. Get internal approval.
    Speak with your department chair, instructional coach, or principal about getting Speakable approved for purchase.

  2. Request a quote and order form.

  3. Submit the request to your business office.
    Your business or finance office will review and, if approved, generate a purchase order.

  4. Send the PO to Speakable and we'll send the order form for signature.
    Once both are completed, we’ll activate your plan and invoice the school or district directly. Purchase orders can be sent to: hello@speakable.io
